return the body to homeostasis. When a person is in stress, these glucocorticoids do the same thing as if they were fighting an infection; however, if the body is in constant stress, it will continue to "fight the infection" and will not return the body to homeostasis. This can cause glucocorticoid receptor resistance and can cause the body to develop an even higher risk of depression, upper respiratory infections, diabetes, autoimmune disease, slower healing, and even cardiovascular disease (1). The

Exercise on the Human Cardiovascular System Introduction: During exercise there is an increased demand for energy. The metabolic processes involved in the production of ATP require oxygen. As a result there is an increase in oxygen consumption and an increase in the production of carbon dioxide as a waste product. As the body produces more carbon dioxide there is a greater need to expel this excess carbon dioxide. In order to fulfil this function there is an increase in respiratory activity. This

Anatomy and Physiology Cell Organelles There are 50 trillion (50 million million) cells in the human body; they carry out chemical reactions essential to life, for example Blood cells. Nucleus The nucleus is the largest structure in any human cell, it contains gasps or pores, which allow protein and nucleic acid, pass through. It is the central part of the cell and it’s usually a lot darker than the rest of the cell because it absorbs stain quickly and stores the entire DNA (Deoxyribonucleic

Karen Pontifex TMA 1 1. Describe the four basic human body structure units and their functions The four basic human body structure units and their functions are: Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Systems. Cells Humans and all living things are made up of about 100 trillion small cells that can only be seen via a microscope. Cells can reproduce themselves and live independently. Some cells are specialized and become a different shape and size (elongated, oval, square, flat etc)
