How Brain Messengers and Hormones Affect Us and Why Fertility Choices Matter

The human body's complex regulatory systems maintain internal balance through impact of neurotransmitters on brain function and the endocrine system hormonal regulation process, alongside various homeostatic mechanisms.

  • The nervous system, comprising central and peripheral components, coordinates body functions through specialized neurons and neurotransmitters
  • Homeostatic processes regulate crucial body functions including temperature, blood glucose, and water levels
  • Reproduction and inheritance involve complex genetic mechanisms, with both natural and assisted methods including fertility treatments and ethical considerations
  • Plant hormones play vital roles in growth responses and development
  • Ecological systems demonstrate intricate interactions between organisms and their environment

Page 2: Reproduction and Plant Hormones

This section explores reproduction mechanisms and plant hormone responses. Fertility treatments include various options for addressing reproductive challenges.

Definition: Tropisms are plant growth responses to environmental stimuli such as light phototropismphototropism, gravity geotropismgeotropism, and water hydrotropismhydrotropism.

Highlight: DNA is a polymer containing four bases A−T,C−GA-T, C-G that determines genetic information and protein synthesis.

Example: Auxin, a plant hormone, influences cell elongation and can be used in weed killers and rooting powders.

Vocabulary: Alleles are different forms of the same gene, which can be either dominant or recessive.

The section also covers genetic inheritance patterns through Punnett squares and the principles of selective breeding.

Page 3: Evolution and Ecology

The final section addresses evolution, protein function, and ecological classifications.

Definition: Cloning involves transferring the nucleus from a normal cell into an egg cell to create a genetic copy.

Highlight: Woese's classification system divides organisms into three categories: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryota.

Example: Lamarck's theory suggested that environmental factors directly influence genetic changes, as illustrated by blind mackerel.

The section concludes with an introduction to ecosystem interactions between living organisms and their environment.

I love this app so much, I also use it daily. I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a D to an A with it :D

Philip, iOS User

The app is very simple and well designed. So far I have always found everything I was looking for :D

Lena, iOS user

I love this app ❤️ I actually use it every time I study.

Page 1: Nervous System and Homeostasis

The nervous system coordinates body functions through an intricate network of neurons and regulatory mechanisms. The central nervous system CNSCNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system PNSPNS comprises cranial nerves that transmit signals throughout the body.

Definition: Homeostasis is the maintenance of stable internal body conditions through various regulatory mechanisms.

Example: The reflex arc demonstrates how signals bypass the brain, traveling directly from receptor through the spinal cord to an effector.

Vocabulary: Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons across synapses.

Highlight: The brain exhibits contralateral control, meaning the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa.

The endocrine system works through glands producing hormones that regulate bodily functions. The pituitary gland acts as the master gland, controlling other endocrine glands including the thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, and testes.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
