Nerves carrying sensory information from the body to the brain, including pain, temperature, and touch.

System that modulates pain signals by opening or closing 'gates' in the spinal cord through different nerve fibers.

Regulating body functions (stress, blood sugar) to maintain stability.

Different classes of hormones (protein, steroid, etc.) with unique chemical structures and mechanisms of action.

Control center for hormone release, involving the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

Hormones (T3, T4) regulating metabolism, growth, and development.

Conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism resulting from abnormal thyroid function.

Regulation of calcium in the blood.

The process of maintaining proper levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood through hormones like calcitonin, PTH, calciferol, and others.

Different inventory costing methods (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) vs. Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)).

Different muscle types (skeletal, smooth, cardiac) and how they contract, along with the effects of drugs.

A hormonal pathway controlling stress responses, involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands.

Hormones released by the adrenal gland, including cortisol, aldosterone, androgens, and catecholamines, each with specific effects on the body.

Key parts of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and their functions.

The pathway linking the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla, releasing catecholamines in response to stress.

Part of the nervous system controlling involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.

Hormones like insulin and glucagon that regulate glucose (blood sugar) levels.

Chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells.

A medical test to assess how well the body processes glucose, differentiating responses in healthy and diabetic individuals.

Organ systems receiving and interpreting sensory information, including receptors and pathways.

Specialized structures converting stimuli into nerve impulses.

The process of controlling hormone release in response to stimuli, balancing blood levels of hormones.

Coordination of movement and posture, influencing motor control.

Maintaining blood sugar levels in a healthy range through the actions of various hormones.

Mecanismos de movimiento de sustancias a través de la membrana celular (pasivo y activo).

Diferencia de carga eléctrica a través de la membrana celular en estado de reposo.

Cambio rápido y transitorio en el potencial de membrana en una neurona.

Transmisión de señales entre neuronas mediante neurotransmisores.

Moléculas que transmiten señales entre las neuronas.
