Question
Answer
Nervous and Endocrine Systems   systems for transmitting messages and correlating body functions  
🗑
nervous system   sensory input - interpretation - motor output  
🗑
neurons   reactive cells, transmit electrical impulses from the brain throughout the body  
🗑
dendrites   fine processes - conduct impulses towards neuron cell body  
🗑
axon   conducts impulses away from neuron cell body  
🗑
myelin sheath   insulates and protects the axon  
🗑
homeostatis   keeping internal body enviroment constant  
🗑
two main sections of nervous system   central (CNS), peripheral (PNS)  
🗑
neurotransmitters and receptors   send and receive messages (impulses)  
🗑
sympathetic nerves   emerge from thoracic and lumbar area of spinal cord, fibres to heart smooth muscle, sweat glands, controls fight or flight reaction  
🗑
thyroid   produces thyroxin-increases basal metabolic rate and encourages growth and development, calcitonin-stimulates osteblasts  
🗑
parathyroid   produces parathormone-maintains plasma calcium levels by inducing osteoclastic activity  
🗑
ovaries   produce oestrogen and proesterone (female sexual development and reproduction  
🗑
testes   secrete testosterone (male sexual development and fertility)  
🗑
pancreas   regulates blood glucose levels with insulin and glucogon  
🗑
adrenal glands   produce adrenaline (mobilises fat from adipose tissue), stimulates breakdown of glycogen to glucose in muscles and assists sympathetic nervous system  
🗑
hypoglycemia   low blood glucose - stimulates glucogen which stimulates breakdown of glycogen stored in liver and production of glucose from lactic acid and some amino acids  
🗑
hyperglycemia   high blood sugar - insulin released to speed up conversion of blood glucose to glycogen and absorption into cells, especially by skeletal muscles  
🗑
IDDM   Type I - insulin dependant diabetes mellitus-insulin deficiency requiring injections to prevent death  
🗑
NIDDM   Type II - non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus - more commnon, elevated blood glucose levels that can be controlled through diet and exercise  
🗑
