...how the body coordinates its internal activities • Homeostasis • Principle of feedback loops For the human body to function, cells within the body have to work and function correctly. Tissues, cells and organs all have different jobs with very different functions. The cells must have an internal environment which has to be stable to suit them for them. This enables survival for example things necessary are oxygen, nutrients or the removal of waste products. This ensures the human body is healthy and is able to function. This process where the body can control this internal environment no matter what is going out in the external environment this is known as homeostasis. Homeostasis involves the stability of equilibrium within a cell or within the human body. Homeostasis is maintaining a constant environment within the body for example homeostasis is very important making sure our bodies have the correct levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and maintain a correct body temperature. Homeostasis is vital to ensure all living things survival, keeping a stable and balanced internal environment which can constantly change within and out of the cell; this is known as homeostatic regulation. Homeostasis can be recognised as a dynamic equilibrium or steady state due to within a cell every mechanism that is kept alive is a...

...neurotransmitters and describe their effect on behavior. Through an electrochemical process, the communication of neurons takes place. Neurons processes all the information in the human body. Neurons are responsible for the transmission of communication in the brain and several parts of the nervous system. Sensory receptors interact with stimuli such as sound, light, pain and temperature which transform into a code that is then carried to the brain by a chain of neurons. When this takes place, systems of neurons within the brain interpret this information. Dendrites play the role for receiving impulses from other neurons and then transmit them to the neuron that they are in. Axons are the fiber that carries the impulses to other dendrites of other neurons.The information is carried along axons and dendrites because of changes in electrical properties which we call action potential. An action potential is initiated when a messenger attaches itself to a receptor. When that occurs, an electrical signal is triggered to be generated through the neuron. Once the signal reaches the end of an axon, which is at the end of a neuron, a neurotransmitter is released and the process repeats. Because of this communication in the brain, information is abled to be sent and carry out through the whole human body. The communication process in the brain, also allows the message to be converted from the neurotransmitters. Without Neurons, we would not be able to communicate, talk, walk, eat, or do...

...function of nervous system is to coordinate the activities of our body. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking and behaviour. The nervous system helps all other systems of our body to work together.The nervous system is like a manager inside our body. Its job is to control and coordinate the parts of our body so that they work together, doing their job at the right time. Our nervous system coordinates muscles so that we can do things which need thinking like reading, writing, cycling or dancing. The nervous system also coordinates things which we don't have to think about, like heart beat and breathing. The human nervous system receives information from the surroundings, processes it, interprets it and then responds accordingly. The nervous system also passes information from one internal system to another. For example, as soon as we put food in our mouth, it immediately causes the release of saliva from the salivary glands. The Unit of Nervous System: Neuron : The units which make up the nervous system are called nerve cells or neurons. So, neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. We can now say that nervous system is made of special cells called neurons. Neuron is the largest cell in the body (which looks like an electric wire). Neurons contain the same basic parts as any other animal cell but their structure is specially adapted to be able to carry messages over large distances in the body quickly. The neurons carry messages...

...Older Adults and Physical Activity for Health There are significant health benefits for older adults who participate in regular exercises several times a week for about 30 minutes each. The findings have found that increasing to at least 2 new community-based programs of physical exercise has many health related benefits such as lowering stress, depression and lowering older adults body mass index. The study concentrated only on community or provider based programs. The study did have significate justification and well measureable results of the class participates. In my opinion the findings of the study did prove that community-based programs do work to improve older adults with disabilities especially with risk factors. I do agree that there needs to be more funding from local and national agengcies and more community-based programs. Social workers can advocate for funding to start a program or link their clients to the approiate communinty-based programs that already exists such as the YMCA. But, they would have to coordinate transportation issues to such programs. Social workers are excellent advocates and coordinators which can help and meet their clients physical fitness goals. They could also facilitate with medical providers to monitor their clients health concerns while meeting these goals. Physical activity for older adults is essential. Mantaining a good effective exercise program is the key. This article from the Center for Disease Control has...

...The nucleus is an area inside the cell that contains the nucleic acids, protecting them by separating the genetic code from the cytoplasm, and keeps the cytoplasmic activity from interfering with any genetic material. Inside of the nucleus, proteins work together to copy parts of the deoxyribonucleic acids to the ribonucleic acids. This process of adding some of the DNA to the RNA is called transcription (Inside a Cell). The job of the nucleus is to coordinate all the activity of the cell, including growth, reproduction, protein production, and metabolization. Basically, the nucleus is the command center for all of the cell’s functions. Only advanced cells, which are scientifically named eukaryotes have nuclei. Unicellular prokaryotes don’t have a nucleus. Eukaryotes usually only have one nucleus, but slime molds and some types of algae can have multiple. The nucleus typically takes up a full tenth of the cell, making it one of the biggest organelles inside the cell. The average nucleus contains about 6 feet of DNA. That tiny sphere, only nanometers across, contains 6 feet of DNA. To add to that, DNA won’t properly function if it’s wound up into a tiny ball like string. It has to be combined with proteins and meticulously organized into the dense form of chromatin (The Cell Nucleus). To roll up those facts into a nice concluding wrap, I’ll just tell you this....

...any deviations that may occur with respect to the plan and take corrective action if necessary. I will focus on the first two functions because as you do not get anywhere unless we know where we are and where we want to go, planning is considered the first activity we should develop in the field of business administration. Once certain goals we want to achieve, we must develop a plan. Thus, through the planning we reflected on paper targets are to be achieved, as we will get and times or to schedule we set to achieve them. If we are able to respond to the what, who, where, when and how things should be done to achieve the goals we put in a position to "predict the future" and not so much to be in the hands of that future. Having planned the stage on which we must move us as we move minimizing uncertainty but the fact remains that planning can better coordinate efforts to have orderly and purposeful activities, minimizing the non-productive work. The idea of "predicting the future" materializes when planning makes it possible to know in advance the problems that may arise and how they should deal to minimize its impact, likewise, to set control standards with which to measure the results of the various activities, it provides a valuable overview of set for administrators. Typically, the company planning the show from different types of plans that complement each other even though they are designed to achieve different objectives. The next task we...

...operation of the Internet though the management of Internet number resources throughout its service region; coordinates the development of policies by the community for the management of Internet Protocol number resources; and advances the Internet through informational outreach. SOURCE: https://www.arin.net/ IANA The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA. Specifically, IANA allocates and maintains unique codes and numbering systems that are used in the technical standards (“protocols”) that drive the Internet. IANA’s various activities can be broadly grouped in to three categories: * Domain Names IANA manages the DNS Root, the .int and .arpa domains, and an IDN practices resource. * Number Resources IANA coordinates the global pool of IP and AS numbers, providing them to Regional Internet Registries. * Protocol Assignments Internet protocols’ numbering systems are managed by IANA in conjunction with standards bodies. IANA is one of the Internet's oldest institutions, with its activities dating back to the 1970s. Today it is a set of services provided by the Internet Corporation...

...fighting force in the world. It has upheld this status by maintaining the physical fitness and appearance of its soldiers. Every soldier is individually responsible for his or her overall fitness and body fat percentage. In addition to this, every unit appoints a Weight Control Non-commissioned Officer (NCO) to ensure that established weight and body fat standards are adhered to and followed. It is the sole responsibility of the Weight Control NCO to identify soldiers not meeting the standards and develop a program in order to assists those soldiers in meeting the standards. If a unit’s Weight Control NCO successfully develops and implements an effective program, the unit will have a high percentage of physically fit soldiers, who can be mission ready at all times. Background Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, currently has 25 soldiers, who are overweight and do not meet the body fat standards. In light of this problem, First Sergeant (1SG) Jeffery Clark quickly appoints Staff Sergeant (SSG) David Upton as the company’s new Weight Control NCO and charges SSG Upton with the task of developing a program to solve the overweight problem in the company. To accomplish his task, SSG Upton will have to develop a program that incorporates periodic weigh-ins, body fat percentage tests (also known as tape tests), extra physical fitness training, counseling, and nutrition advice for the 25 overweight soldiers. Key Problems When he begins developing a successful...

...1. Prepare opening comments that give the class an overview of project management. To understand what project management is we must first define what a project is. A project is a structured coordinated series of event, which result in a final deliverable. The deliverable in questions can be service oriented or produce a product to be delivered. A defined project will typically have a predetermined start and end date for the tasks within the project and the project itself. Additionally a project will normally be established to complete one goal that multiple tasks associated with it. A project does not have size limitations when it comes to resources, building a playground or building a skyscraper are both considered projects. The limitation of the project is associated with the limitation of the project triangle, cost, scope and time. The actions of managing the previously referenced cost, scope and money are where our overview of project management is provided. Project Management is the framework and process that is followed to meet the overall objectives through the tasks associated with the deliverables. Through the process of Project Management the resources needed to complete the objective is managed through the concept of the project triangle of cost, scope and time. The success of the project is contingent on the how well the project manager manages and balances the project triangle. All project contain the same framework to be completed by the project manager...
