Q

How does the body react to stimulus?

A

Stimuls > Receptor > Control Centre > Effector > Response

Electrical impulses are sent in the nervous system and hormons are released in the endocrine system.

Q

Difference between a reflex and reaction.

A

In a reaction, the the stimulus is first sent to the brain to get a response, and a reflex, signal of the stimulus ony reach the spinal chord (making it quicker).

Q

What’s homeostasis?

A

The state of balance withing the physical systems for a body to function properly. Changes are made for the human to adapt to a stimulus to maintain the optimal conditions for cell function. Maintains optimal conditions for enzyme action throughout the body. Internal changes to match the external environment. Negative feedback loops are often used.

16
Q

What are effectors?

A

Muscles or glands

17
Q

What is the centre of homeostasis?

A

Hypothalamus because thats where the nervous system and endocrine system meet.

18
Q

What hormones are released from the pancreas to manage glucose?

A

Insulin when it’s too high - glucagon when it’s too low.

19
Q

What’s the endocrine system?

A

Consists of tissues and organs and works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis by releasing hormones into the bloodstream.

20
Q

What’s a negative feedback loop + examples?

A

A reaction or action the body does to maintain homeostasis. Examples include sweating, shivering and blood sugar regulation.

21
Q

What’s a positive feedback loop + examples?

A

The amplification of a change in the body, such as labour contractions and breastfeeding.

22
Q

Things hormones control?

A
  • mood
  • metabolism
  • growth
  • blood sugar levels
  • blood pressure
  • sexual function
  • reproduction
23
Q

What’s the adrenal medulla?

A

Makes chemical such as adrenaline and noreadrenaline (fight or flight) and comes from the adrenal glands.

24
Q

Where is a hormone made and destroyed?

A

Produced by a gland and alters the activity of target organs and is destroyed by a Liver

25
Q

Important hormones:

A

Adrenaline, Insulin and ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) from pituitary gland to kidney controls water content of blood.

26
Q

What’s the master gland?

A

Pituitary gland

27
Q

Types of response of nervous system and hormonal?

A

Nervous - electrical. impulse (chemical at synapse) to muscle contraction/secretion
Hormonal - Chemical change

28
Q

Major parts of brain

A

Forebrain - cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus
Midbrain - brainstem
Hindbrain - mendulla, cerebellum

29
Q

What is the peripheral nervous system split into?

A

Autonomic - involuntary actions or functions
Somatic - voluntary actions

30
Q

What is the Autonomic system split into?
