Q

What would happen to a person’s energy levels if their oxygen intake decreased

A
  • decrease oxygen = decrease in energy level
    Cellular respiration creates energy, less oxygen means less cell. Respiration = less energy

Q

Whats the action that involves thought and intent

A

Voluntary

17
Q

List the 4 features of a reflux

A
  • fast
  • requires a stimuli
  • does not involve the brain
  • protects the body from harm
18
Q

Identify the stages of the reflux arc

A

Stimuli
Receptor
Sensory neurons
Inter neurons
Motor neurons
Effectors

19
Q

Describe the stages of the reflux

A

Something triggers the stimuli, receptors detects this change, sensory neurons carries the signal to the spinal cord, interneurons then take this message to the motor neurons, which then carries the response signals back to the muscles. The effectors then cause a involuntary action (reflux)

20
Q

Definition of hormones

A

Chemical substances that act as messengers

21
Q

Whats the message type (electrical or chemical). message speed (fast or slow), structure used (neurons or glands), range of effect (specific or widespread) for nervous systems

A

Message type: electrical
Message speed: fast
Structure used: neurons
Range of effect: specific

22
Q

Name the glands/organs and its hormone and function

A

Pancreas - insulin
Pituitary gland - growth hormones
Ovary - oestrogen
Testes - testosterone

23
Q

Hormones can only affect certain cells. These cells are called:

A

Target cells

24
Q

Whats the message type (electrical or chemical). message speed (fast or slow), structure used (neurons or glands), range of effect (specific or widespread) for endocrine systems

A

Message type: chemical
Message speed: slow
Structure used: glands
Range of effect: widespread

25
Q

What type of systems are nervous and endocrine systems

A

Communication

26
Q

What do the 2 systems change about the body?

A

Environment when they respond to stimuli

27
Q

How do the 2 systems receive info

A

Receptors

28
Q

What role do the 2 systems play for the body

A

Help protect the body
