Question

How does the human body communicate information about homeostasis? Keep the information general (don’t use a specific example). Make a diagram use the following terms (controlled variable deviates from normal, controlled variable returns to normal, action potential, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter, EPSP, IPSP, sensory receptor, cell-surface receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, effector, effect, somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, endocrine gland, exocrine gland, negative feedback, photoreceptor, chemoreceptor, mechanoreceptor, thermoreceptor, nociceptor, central nervous system, brain, spinal cord, changes in contraction/relaxation, hormone release) (many should probably be used more than once). You can abbreviate terms as long as you define the abbreviations you use.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Controlled variable deviates from normal- The deviation what you got from the normal is called controlled variable derivates from normal

controlled variable returns to normal- When your results deviate from control and again return to the level of control is called variables return to control

action potential- It is the changes in potential of membrane of either muscle or in nerves which bring the action like muscle contraction or formation of memory.

synaptic transmission- It is the process in nervous system in which signals came from pre-synaptic neuron where either neurotransmitter release or chemical communication to the post-synaptic neuron through the receptor present in the post-synaptic neuron.

neurotransmitter- there are special chemicals or messengers present in nervous system that communicate message among neuron.

EPSP- Excitatory post synaptic potential

IPSP- Inhibitory post synaptic potential

sensory receptor- the receptors that receive/accept the changes in environment and convey to CNS

cell-surface receptor- Receptors present in the cell membrane surface

sensory neuron- The neurons convey the inputs from external environment to the CNS

interneuron- these are the neurons present between efferent and afferent neurons and relay signals

motor neuron- The nerve cll or neuron that passes impulses or message from brain or spinal cord to the effector organ such as gland or muscle.

effector- These are ligands that bind to cell membrane or activate the enzymatic activity

somatic nervous system- It is a part of peripheral nervous system that associated with skeletal muscle & responsible voluntary control

autonomic nervous system- The part of nervous system which controls the internal organ

sympathetic nervous system- It is a part of autonomic nervous system that control unconscious function of body

parasympathetic nervous system- It is part of autonomic nervous system that controls body’s function which is not under voluntary control

endocrine gland- the glands which directly secrets their product, hormones into blood streams.

exocrine gland- the glands secretes product to outsise/their surface or nearby tissue in skin etc..

negative feedback- regulate their own performance and inhibit their further action/ secretion/synthesis/degradation etc.

photoreceptor- The receptors that senses light . Mostly present in eyes. Two types of are rods and cones

chemoreceptor- The receptors detect chemicals and they sense the changes in chemical concetrations

mechanoreceptor- the receptors present in skin and responsible for sensing mechanical pressure are mechanoreceptors. Four types are there – (i) glabrous (ii) Pacinian corpuscles (iii) Meissner's corpuscles (iv) Merkel's discs or Ruffini endings

thermoreceptor- these receptors are present in the specialized nerves that are present in skin and able to detect heat and cold i.e they sense the temperature differences in the environment. nociceptor- This is the receptor found in the nerve ending, present in skin and send pain signals to spinal cord and brain

central nervous system- Central nervous system consist of brain and spinal cord. It controls all the activity of body

brain- It is the head of the central nervous system contain all the control activity starting from learning, memory to digestion, respiration and decision making.

spinal cord- It is the part of central nervous system which carry message from spinal nervous to brain

changes in contraction/relaxation- The molecular mechanism of actin myosin occur is a energy dependent process that causes changes in contraction/relaxation

hormone release- Hormone release is a process by which signal molecule binds to the receptor and gives message to endocrine cells to discharge hormone
