It is amazing how some systems in our body works together in situations to help us to have the ability to react and be alert of our surroundings such as being in danger or suffering from stress which is an important factor of many health problems. The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous

COMPUTER- AIDED DECISIONS “COMPUTER SIMULATION OF HUMAN THOUGHT” What is Computer Simulation? A computer simulation or a computer model is a computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system. Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics‚ chemistry and biology‚ human systems in economics‚ psychology‚ and social science and in the process of engineering new technology‚ to gain insight into

Blood Analysis: Computer Simulation Introduction Blood is a combination of plasma (watery liquid) and red and white blood cells as well as platelets. It is a specialized bodily fluid that supplies essential substances and nutrients‚ such as sugar‚ oxygen‚ and hormones to our cells. Blood analysis can determine how functions of the body are working and if they are working properly. The purpose of this lab is to understand how various ailments‚ locations‚ and blood types can affect blood analysis

Computer Simulation: Gambling is known to be a vice of many men. An activity that requires one to bet their cold hard cash that they earned through their jobs and to bet it all on a luck and the slim chance that they would somehow beat the odds and receive what they had betted and much more. Gambling has been proven to stimulate the brains reward system that similar to how drugs and alcohol stimulate the brains reward system. But dabbling in such activities‚ such as gambling with cards and dice‚

The endocrine system is one of the most important systems Without it you would be an emotional‚ non-making baby‚ and out of your mind human. The endocrine system helps with maintaining homeostasis by regulation of the activity cells. The endocrine system is basically hormones and those hormones are released into the blood of the body controlled by stimulus. The endocrine system does not and can’t work alone. It works with many other systems every day. For example‚ it works with the nervous system

Advantages: >Computer simulation can allow you to see how a system might respond before you design or modify it. This avoids mistakes and one can try different ideas before the real product is produced‚ making it cheaper as there is no need to make different prototypes every time and testing them out. Example: It is safer and cheaper to use a model and simulation for some real world objects such as nuclear power plants. >It is an advantage to find this out in a model rather than testing the real

The foundations of the Endocrine System consist of hormones and glands. These glands are ductless and their secretions are sent through the bloodstream. Endocrine glands also control bodily metabolic activity. The major glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus‚ pituitary‚ thyroid‚ parathyroids‚ adrenals‚ pineal body‚ the pancreas‚ and the reproductive glands‚ which include the ovaries and testes. The endocrine system has three basic functions‚ regulate metabolic functions
