Study Notes
Endocytosis and Exocytosis
- Endocytosis and exocytosis are processes that transport substances across the cell membrane.
- Endocytosis involves bringing substances into the cell, while exocytosis is responsible for moving substances out.
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)
- Commonly known as the "fight or flight" system.
- Prepares the body for stressful or emergency situations.
Effects of the SNS on the Body
- Decreases heart rate and blood pressure to prioritize blood flow to essential organs.
- Constricts pupils, which can enhance focus on potential threats.
- Stimulates digestion by increasing activity in the stomach and intestines to prepare for potential energy needs.
- Promotes gland secretion, including saliva, aiding in the digestive process.
- Conserves energy through reduced demand for oxygen and nutrients, allowing for a quick response to stress.
- Encourages relaxation and recovery post-stress response.
Balance between Nervous Systems
- The SNS activates the body for action, while the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) calms it down.
- The PNS promotes energy conservation and relaxation, counterbalancing the SNS.
- Together, these systems maintain homeostasis, ensuring balance in bodily functions.
