I learned that the adrenal medulla releases epinephrine, whichis a vasodilator of the vessels that lead to the skeletalmuscle.

I also learned that somatic nervous system only usesAchetycholine as its hormone (not epinephrine).

I also learned that the somatic nervous system controls skeletalmuscle.

So, why is epinephrine not considered a part of the somaticnervous system hormones, if it is controlling the skeletal muscle?What is wrong here?

13. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are experienced by many people during their lifetimes. Urinary tract infections can involve any bacterial infection of the urinary system structures; the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through the urethra and traveling upward into the body. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort when urinating to extreme pain and the loss of blood during urination. They occur more frequently in women than men, and are often treated by antibiotics in addition to home remedies, such as drinking more water and drinking cranberry juice.

Based on what you have learned about the cause of urinary tract infections, which of the following precautions would help to prevent reoccurring infections?

Taking pain medication when symptoms occur

Placing a hot pack on the abdomen when symptoms occur

Practicing good hygiene Exercising regularly

14. The nervous system is divided into two major divisions: the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. Those divisions have structures that can be classified as belonging to two different subdivisions: the Somatic and the Autonomic systems. The nervous system can be summarized as a complex system of interconnected nerves and special cells called neurons that are used to transmit information (by means of small electrical impulses). Use the information in the table below to help answer questions about the nervous system. Division Organs & Structures Functions Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain Spinal Cord Nerves This is the bodyâs assessment and communication center. It analyzes the information received from the sensory neurons and responds. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Sensory Neurons Ganglia (clusters of neurons) Nerves that connect to one another and to the CNS The sensory neurons react to physical stimuli such as light, sound, heat, and pressure, and transmit that information to the CNS. Subdivisions Description Examples Somatic The Somatic system is comprised of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the muscles of the body and sensory receptors in the skin. Reactions to physical stimuli like heat or light. Using your hand to touch Eating food Autonomic The Autonomic system largely involuntary. This system controls the unconscious functions of the body. Breathing Blood Pressure

Feeling overwhelmed or startled by exposure to very loud noises is likely a reaction to information collected by which subdivision of the nervous system:

Somatic

Autonomic

15. The thyroid gland is perhaps the most well-known member of the pancreatic system. Many adults are screened for thyroid problems during routine physical exams. This butterfly shaped gland is found at the base of the neck and releases hormones that affect the bodyâs metabolism (the way the body uses energy). The thyroidâs two main hormones are T3 and T4, and they affect many body functions, including: â¢ Breathing â¢ Heart rate â¢ Central and peripheral nervous systems â¢ Body weight â¢ Muscle strength â¢ Menstrual cycles â¢ Body temperature â¢ Cholesterol levels Two common disorders associated with the thyroid include hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Some of the symptoms associated with these disorders are listed in the table below. Hyperthyroidism (Too many hormones released) Hypothyroidism (Too few hormones released) Anxiety Irritability or moodiness Nervousness, hyperactivity Sweating or sensitivity to high temperatures Hand trembling (shaking) Hair loss Missed or light menstrual periods Trouble sleeping Tiredness and fatigue Difficulty concentrating Dry skin and hair Depression Sensitivity to cold temperature Frequent, heavy periods Joint and muscle pain A patient complains of arthritis-like pain in the joints of her hands, but tests for arthritis come back negative. The doctor then suggests a thyroid function test. The doctor is most likely concerned about:

High levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body

Low levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body

MY BRAIN ON STRESS âI have chemistry exam tomorrow. Iâm worried!What if I donât pass??? I wonder whatâs going on in mybrainâ¦â¦â¦.â

When I think of the exam, thereâs immediately increased activityin the ___________ system of my brain. One organ, the ____________really gets immediately active, as this is responsible foremotional processing. Then this sends a message to the_____________, which gets two primary pathways going: the_____________________ and the __________________. Wow, and all thisis in less than a second! One pathway, the ____________ uses theautonomic nervous system first. It releases neurotransmissions,that later take on the form of hormones released from the adrenalgland. The primary neurotransmitter/hormone is ____________. Thisreally gets my heart to beat (faster/slower), and my blood pressuregoes (up/down). Hopefully, I will learn and use strategies toactivate the _____________, within the autonomic nervous system.This will help keep things in balance. But right now, that otherpathway, the ______________ has gotten fired up! Itâs goingstraight to releasing hormones, first through initial activation ofthe ___________ and then the _______________glands. First, the__________________ releases ACTH, which is an acronym for_______________. Then, this makes the adrenal cortex release__________________, mostly cortisol. That cortisol does a real jobon me! It especially makes my ____________ system not work as well.And it goes back up to the brain where it increases activity rightwhere this all started, at the ______________! Besides that, italso effects how the part of my brain I most need for memory work,the ________________ is able to function. What a mess Iâm in! Sonow that the __________________ response is in full gear, Iâm morelikely to notice (negative/positive) things around me. After all,Iâm hard-wired to protect myself. At the same time, my_____________________ really is not doing its best job, as itâs areal challenge gaining perspective and using my best judgment. Surewish I could get some more action going in my ACC, I mean my_______________________. A little empathy help from my ____________would be good too. And a feel good neurotransmitter, like_________________
