The Endocrine System

The endocrine is made up of coordinated groups of glands called endocrine glands. They are called endocrine because they release hormones into the bloodstream.

Hormones

Hormones are chemical messengers that activate or stop, accelerate or delay many processes carried out by organs and tissues.

Health Diet (E.S)

Healthy diet, regulate moderate-intensity exercise, and don't consume drugs.

Health Diet

Healthy diet, exercise regularly, and practice correct postures.

The Control of Hormone Secretion

Feedback mechanisms in the endocrine system act similarly. When the amount of hormone in the blood reaches a specific level, a signal makes the gland stop releasing it.

How Hormones Work:

1. Stimulated endocrine glands respond by producing hormones

CONVENTIONS:

practices, behaviours, ideas and styles regarded as normal or taken for granted.

DISCRIMINATION:

treating someone or some group as different or less-than based upon their identity.

DOUBLE STANDARD:

a set of guidelines or principles in which one group of people is treated differently than performing the same or similar behaviour.

EXCLUSIONIST:

the position of excluding someone or some group from a fundamental right or prerogative.

FEMININITY:

socially constructed characteristics or ideas typically associated with the female sex.

FEMINISM:

a philosophy and social movement centered on improving the status and lives of women.

GENDER:

socially constructed characteristics associated with biological sex; ie., feminine, masculine.

HIERARCHICAL:

a system... Continue reading "Understanding Media Representation and Social Issues" »

The Nervous System

The nervous system receives information from the receptors, processes and coordinates it, and generates orders to the effectors.

Central Nervous System (CNS)

The central nervous system coordinates all the body's functions. It is formed by the encephalon and the spinal cord.

The Encephalon

The encephalon is protected by the skull or cranium and by three membranes, the meninges, between which a liquid called the cerebrospinal fluid circulates. This liquid protects the encephalon from knocks and blows. The encephalon is divided into three parts: the brain, the cerebellum, and the brainstem.

• The brain is divided into two hemispheres, separated by a fissure. Its surface, called the cerebral cortex, is rough and full of folds and furrows,

Separate the People from the Problem

The relationship tends to become entangled with the problem. Negotiators have to separate the relationship from the substance and deal directly with the people's problem. How to do it?

• Put yourself in the shoes of your counterpart.
• Talk about the ideas and expectations of both parties.
• Do not hold your counterpart responsible for your own problems.

Make sure the other party is involved in the decision and actively participates. Make it possible for them to "save face": Adapt your suggestions to the value system of your negotiation partner.

Articulate your emotions and acknowledge that they are justified. Allow the other party to let off steam.

Use symbolic gestures (e.g., shaking hands, a small gift).

Listen attentively... Continue reading "Effective Negotiation Strategies" »

Permanent Magnet

: once magnetized, remains magnetized. Ferromagnet: easily magnetized (iron, nickel, cobalt, some rare-earth metals, magnetite). Paramagnet: magnetized with more difficulty. Diamagnet: repels magnetic fields (slightly) - “not magnetic”./Materials can be broken into smaller chunks, called “domains”. Each domain has a miniature magnetic field. Materials may look the same, but at a smaller level, domains could be different - hence why some are magnets (or magnetize easily) and some don’t. Material, Temperature, Condition, Size & Shape*, Distance, affects magnet strength. All magnets* have two poles; North and South. At poles magnet is at its strongest (repelling or attracting). Breaking a magnet turns into 2 smaller... Continue reading "Understanding Magnetism, Electricity, and Light: A Comprehensive Overview" »
