When writing about homeostasis and the process of homeostasis, who do you need to talk about for an extra name?
~ Homeostasis
Nelson, 2022
when sodium chloride levels are high from the ingestion of salty foods, what leaves the cells?
~ Homeostasis
the intercellular fluid
how can we increase the availability of water in our body
~ Homeostasis
by drinking water
- this is typically motivated by the sensation of thirst caused from osmotic thirst
when we drink too much water, what lets the hypothalamus know to stop/inhibit the release of ADH
~ Homeostasis
the osmoreceptors
when we are being sick or losing fluid from injury, what is the knock on effect for the kidneys
~ Homeostasis
the kidneys struggle to save fluid because its being lost quickly so they work harder to save it
what is released to control how much energy goes into certain systems after eating
~ Homeostasis
insulin
what does insulin help the body to do
~ Homeostasis
glucose moves into storage
amino acids help repair
fatty acids stored as fat
what did Gentry 1976 find
~ Homeostasis
that testosterone replacement therapy helped to signal the importance of testosterone in energy maintenance
what did Wade 1976 find
~ Homeostasis
androgens promote higher body mass
what did Fothergill 2016
~ Homeostasis
we have a set point for weight and so our body is constantly fighting to reach this set point
when we lose a lot of weight our body tries to reach the set point by gaining weight - this is done by lowering metabolic rates so we gain weight quicker
what does the sensorimotor system do
~ Sensorimotor System
responsible for combining sensory input with motor output
how is the sensorimotor system hierarchically organised
~ Sensorimotor System
higher levels - plan and predict
lower levels - execute
what does the secondary motor cortex do
~ Sensorimotor System
plans the appropriate coordination and movement
what is the sensorimotor association cortex split into
~ Sensorimotor System
posterior parietal association cortex
dorsolateral prefrontal association cortex
what does the feedback system of the cerebellum do
~ Sensorimotor System
coordinates movement, precision of movement, balance, and automatic movement
who found that dysmetria is slowed movement
~ Sensorimotor System
Day 1998
who studied into patient G.O
~ Sensorimotor System
Rothwell 1982
what did Rothwell 1982 find from patient G.O
~ Sensorimotor System
he could pick up stuff - motor
couldn’t sense how hard he was picking up stuff - sensory
what does the feedback system of the basal ganglia do
~ Sensorimotor System
habit learning and initiation of movement
what did Turner 2005 find about the basal ganglia
~ Sensorimotor System
neuronal activity in the basal ganglia is dependent on behaviour
what is the basal ganglia split into
~ Sensorimotor System
striatum
globus pallidus
what is the somatosensory system made up of
~ Somatosensory System
association sensory cortex
secondary sensory cortex
primary sensory cortex
thalamus
receptors
what are mechanoreceptors
~ Somatosensory System
sensory receptors
what is a fast adapting mechanoreceptor
~ Somatosensory System
sudden activation
no continuous activation
