Brendan Knob 8/21/13 AP Bio: Summer Essay Spring The human body is like a machine. When all of its parts are working properly and you take care of it, it runs perfectly, when you don?t it starts to break down. The ?control center? of the human body is the nervous system. Another key player in the communication in the body is the endocrine system. These two systems allow your body to function.

Chris Schink Biology Vocab Chapter 29 Parenchyma- In higher plants, the fundamental tissue that is composed of thin walled living cells that function in photosynthesis and storage. Collenchyma- A group of elongated, thick walled plant cells that support the growth of leaves and stems. Sclerenchyma- A type of plant tissue composed of cells that have thickened secondary walls that function in plant support. Epidermis- The outer layer of cells of a plant or animal. Cuticle- A waxy or fatty watertight layer on the external wall of epidermal cells. Tracheid- A thick-walled cylindrical cell with tapered ends that is found in xylem and that provides support and conducts water and nutrients. Pit- In plants, the thin, porous areas of a tracheid cell wall.

BIOLOGICAL BASES OF BEHAVIOR THE HUMAN BRAIN The influence of biology (sometimes called the neuroscience or biopsychological perspective) is growing. Some researchers predict that someday psychology will be a specialty within the field of biology. An understanding of the biological principles relevant to psychology is needed to understand current psychological thinking. The human brain consists of three major divisions; hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain Major Division Subdivision Structures Prosencephalon?(Forebrain) Telencephalon Neocortex; Basal Ganglia; Amygdala; Hippocampus; Lateral Ventricles Diencephalon Thalamus; Hypothalamus; Epithalamus; Third Ventricle Mesencephalon?(Midbrain) Mesencephalon Tectum; Tegmentum; Cerebral Aqueduct

Name Function Description Cell Membrane The membrane at the boundary of every cell that acts as a selective barrier regulating the cells chemical composition. Cytoplasm The Cytoplasm offers support to the cell and speeds up inter-cellular travel. It allows the cell to take up 3-dimensional space and the cell's many organelles to "float" freely throughout. Mitochondria Where the cell creates most of the energy (ATP), also known as the ?powerhouse? of the cell. Nucleus This is where all the DNA is kept and translated into mRNA. Golgi Apparatus Stores and sends out proteins using vestical transport. Lysosomes Filled with digestive enzymes, Lysosomes function to get rid of waste and break down large macromolecules.

Wood (5th ed.), Canadian fundamentals of nursing. Chapter 37 pp 11951248. Toronto, ON: Elsevier. 1. Define each of the following: Mobility Ability to move easily and independently. Immobility Inability to move freely. Disuse atrophy Muscle loss due to prolonged inactivity from bed rest, trauma, casting, nerve damage. Negative nitrogen Balance When more nitrogen is excreted than is ingested in proteins. Ischemia Mechanical obstruction that reduces blood flow to a certain area of the body causing blanching (paling of the skin). Range of Motion

The Nervous System Function: The function of the nervous system is to control and coordinate functions throughout the body and respond to external and internal stimuli. The nervous system is divided into 2 parts the PNS (peripheral nervous system) and the CNS (central nervous system), and is in control of both. Nerve signals are transmitted through these systems. Interdependence: The nervous system relies on the muscular system to work properly. Organism Comparison: A flatworm?s nervous system is simpler compared to humans. It has nerve cords that control its actions. The Skeletal System

Alexandra Odinlo IB Chemistry 1 August 26, 2013 Science and Human Nutrition Human Digestion Digestion?is the process of breaking down the foods that we eat into forms of energy that the body can use as energy. The Digestive process is one that involves the body?s biological mechanical works as well as chemical means to breakdown nutrients from different types of foods. Mechanical digestion?begins the digestion process. In your mouth as your teeth begin to mash food into smaller pieces to allow you to swallow them. Soon after saliva in your mouth bring about the chemical changes to your food. Chemical and mechanical parts of digestion work hand in hand toward the goal of providing nourishment for your body.

North Korea Today North Korea is the epitome of modern day slavery. As a result of the work of Kim Il-sung, no citizen of North Korea will ever taste the freedom that many others have laid their lives down for. Theirs is a government so corrupt that citizens live in fear of challenging it and so unforgiving that children must be brainwashed from birth for their own survival.

BIOLOGY 31.2 THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ? pp. 901-905 The Central Nervous System?Key Ideas Each of the major areas of the brain?the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the brain stem?are responsible for processing and relaying information. The spinal cord is the main communication link between the brain and the rest of the body. The brain reacts to excessive dopamine levels by reducing the number of receptors for the neurotransmitter. As a result, normal activities no longer produce the sensations of pleasure they once did. VOCABULARY: Reflex: quick, automatic response to a stimulus. Cerebrum: part of the brain responsible for voluntary activities of the body; ?thinking? region of the brain.
