Answer the following question given this paragraph: 16.6 | Nervous System By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the form and function of a neuron Describe the basic parts and functions of the central nervous system Describe the basic parts and functions of the peripheral nervous system As you read this, your nervous system is performing several functions simultaneously. The visual system is processing what is seen on the page; the motor system controls your eye movements and the turn of the pages (or click of the mouse); the prefrontal cortex maintains attention. Even fundamental functions, like breathing and regulation of body temperature, are controlled by the nervous system. The nervous system is one of two systems that exert control over all the organ systems of the body; the other is the endocrine system. The nervous system's control is much more specific and rapid than the hormonal system. It communicates signals through cells and the tiny gaps between them rather than through the circulatory system as in the endocrine system. It uses a combination of chemical and electrochemical signals, rather than purely chemical signals used by the endocrine system to cover long distances quickly. The nervous system acquires information from sensory organs, processes it and then may initiate a response either through motor function, leading to movement, or in a change in the organism's physiological state. Nervous systems throughout the animal kingdom vary in structure and complexity. Some organisms, like sea sponges, lack a true nervous system. Others, like jellyfish, lack a true brain and instead have a system of separate but connected nerve cells (neurons) called a "nerve net. " Flatworms have both a central nervous system (CNS), made up of a ganglion (clusters of connected neurons) and two nerve cords, and a peripheral nervous system (PNS) containing a system of nerves that extend throughout the body. The insect nervous system is more complex but also fairly decentralized. It contains a brain, ventral nerve cord, and ganglia. These... Q: Besides the endocrine system, what other system exerts control over all the organ systems of the body? Choices: - circulatory system - abnormal system - skeleton system - nervous system A:
(Answer)
nervous system
Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When you get your cholesterol tested, they are measuring not only the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, but also whether it is being transported by LDL or HDL. All of these values are important for assessing the likelihood of a heart attack. Total cholesterol gives an idea of the overall cholesterol load in the body. The LDL cholesterol (sometimes referred to as "bad" cholesterol) is more likely to be incorporated into a cell or a plaque, so it is important that these levels below. Conversely, since cholesterol being carried by HDL ("good" cholesterol) is being transported away from the rest of the body and into the liver for disposal, higher HDL levels are generally considered beneficial. Q: What type of cholesterol is commonly referred to as bad? Choices: - unsaturated - hdl - insulin - ldl A:
Ans: ldl
