24
Causes ovulation and form the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone
LH
25
Stimulates ovarian follicle growth and estrogen production
FSH
26
Released by the hypothalamus; stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH & LH to the ovaries (female)
GnRH
27
Hormone that stops sperm production when it reaches the maximum sperm count
Inhibin
28
Released by the Leydig cells to the hypothalamus
Testosterone
29
Stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone (male)
LH
30
Stimulates the Sertoli cells and supports sperm production (male)
FSH
31
Released by the hypothalamus; stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH & LH to the testes (male)
GnRH
32
is a disease caused by a broken feedback loop involving the hormone insulin.
Diabetes
33
When our body temp rises and our body's blood vessels dilate resulting in heat loss and our sweat glands secrete fluid so our body heat is retained to the normal, that is called?
Negative feedback loop
34
When our body temp falls and our body's blood vessels constrict so that the heat is conserved and our sweat glands do not secrete fluid so our body heat is retained to the normal, that is called?
positive feedback loop
35
In what cells of the pancreas is Glucagon secreted from
Alpha cells
36
acts on the liver, causing glycogen to be broken down into glucose and released into the bloodstream, causing blood sugar levels to go back up. This reduces glucagon secretion and brings the system back to homeostasis.
Glucagon
37
In what cells of the pancreas is Insulin secreted from
Beta cells
38
acts as a signal that triggers cells of the body, such as fat and muscle cells, to take up glucose for use as fuel
Insulin
39
internal environment of a cell or organism to allow normal biological functions to occur.
Homeostasis
40
is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment.
Homeostasis
41
Produced by ENDOCRINE GLANDS (thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, pituitary gland). They are secreted directly into the BLOODSTREAM or other bodily fluids.
Hormones
42
it is the space between the axon of the first neuron and the dendrites of the second neuron
Synapse
43
The exchange of information between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron.
Neurotransmission
44
These are Motor neurons are the third class of neurons. These neurons allow the brain and spinal cord to communicate with muscles, organs, and glands all over the body.
Effectors
45
form the second category of nerve cells. These cells receive signals from and send signals to other nerve cells.
Interneuron
46
These are Sensory neurons that are triggered by physical and chemical inputs from outside environment. Sound, touch, heat, and light are physical inputs. Smell and taste are chemical inputs.
Receptors
47
located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons
Axon terminal
48
is located at the end of the soma and controls the firing of the neuron
Axon hillock
49
is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal.
Axon
50
these two structures serve to maintain the cell and keep the neuron functional
Cell body
51
receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma.
Dendrites
52
provide with mechanical and metabolic support ; supportive cells
Neurogilia
53
process information
Neurons
54
are the ones that do not move or contract under the conscious control of a person, i.e., these muscles work automatically.
Involuntary muscles
55
are the ones that move or contract under the conscious control of a person.
voluntary muscles
56
Rest or Digest
Parasympathetic division
57
Fight or Flight
Sympathetic division
58
Controls involuntary movement
Autonomic nervous system
59
Controls voluntary movement
Somatic nervous system
60
Conducts signals to and from the brain, controls reflex activities
Spinal cord
61
Receives and processes sensory information, Initiates responses, Store, memories generates thoughts and emotions.
brain
62
carry information from the sensory organs and internal organs to the CNS
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
63
The main processing center for the entire nervous
Central nervous system (CNS)
