TRAIT TRANSMISSION
HEREDITY- the transmission of traits and characteristics from the parent to the offspring.
CELL- basic structure function of all living things
NUCLEUS- w/ in the cell; the center of all activities of the cell-responsible for the human body’s physiologically fitness-responsible for the reproduction of the cell to maintain bodily structure and function
through outthe life span of an individual
REPRODUCTION- the process of replicating or duplicating into another living organism.
CELL DIVISION- the increase in size or cell growth resulting reproduction-varies in terms of MITOSIS and MEIOSIS
MITOSIS- indirect cell division regenerates an identical reproduction of cell for growth whendamaged.
-responsible for the growth of the human body (hair, nails, height, weight etc.)
-when a person is ill, the cell is likewise afflicted to some extent and cured by chemicalreactions to
regenerate the same cell.
MEIOSIS- the reproduction process mainly involved in the production of sexual cells-responsible for the propagation of species of offspring
CHROMOSOMES- are contained in the nucleus-remarkably relevant for they present the distinctive or unique features of the
parents-46 chromosomes (diploid) in every individual and arranged into 23 pairs
(haploid)= during
-responsible for carrying the traits and characteristics of an individual containedin the gene
GENE- having the traits and characteristics becomes the basic unit of heredity-composed of detailed hereditary traits and characteristics which are transmitted to and
acquired by theoffspring.
GENOTYPE- the underlying genetic pattern contained in the offspring , which cannot be seen, andcan only be

determined later.
PHENOTYPE- composed of characteristics that can be seen in how the individual actually looksand acts.
DOMINANT TRAITS- the phenotype resulting from genotype; predominates over the other alleles.
RECESSIVE TRAITS- controlled traitsHORMONAL INFLUENCE
ENDOCTRINE SYSTEM- it sustains the biological and physiological processes to make the body fitand well in
order to go on living.-responsible in regulating, controlling, and producing biochemical reactions of
the body- These chemicals are important in integrating the actions and responses of
theindividual to obtain HOMEOSTASIS (makes the body conditions balance)
within thesystem of human body.

THE PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIC OF BEHVIOR:
A. RECEIVING MECHANISMS- include the receptors of external stimuli- the sense organs.
B. REACTING MECHANISM- include the muscles of the body and the hormones of the glandular system.
C. CONNECTING MECHANISMS- include the nervous system, which is divided into two:1. central2. peripheral nervous system
NEURON- typically consisting of a cell body, axon, and dendrites, that transmits nerve impulsesand is the
basic functional unit of the nervous system.- nerve cells- each neuron consists of a cell body and its branching fibers- the basic structural unit of the nervous system
PARTS:
1. CELL BODY OR SOMA- contains the nucleus and serves as the center for nourishment
2. DENDRITES-short fibers projecting from the cell body.- receive information from adjacent cells and conduct the neural impulses to thecell body (cellulipetal)
3. AXON- long extension at one side of the cell body that carries messages to other cells
or glands.- they conduct neural impulses away ( cellulifugal) from the cell body.
4. SYNAPTIC TERMINALS OR BUTTONS- small knobs at the end of the axon branches that relay messages to other cells.
5. MYELIN SHEATH- axon’s protective coating; fatty layer of cells
6. NODES
- are interruption on the myelin sheath; it controls the speed of transmission of informationor stimulus on the neurons; these also serve as break on the momentum of the
speed.
SYNAPSE- tiny gaps in axon; where transmission of signaled stimulus from one neuron to anothertakes place;
serve as passageway for the connection of neurons.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF NEURONS ACCORDING TO THEIR FUNCTIONS:
A. SENSORY/ AFFERENT NEURONS- neurons that receive impulses from the sense organs and send messages
to the central nervous system.- Sensory neurons in the skin, muscles, joints, and organs indicate pressure,
temperature and pain.
-Neurons in the nose and tongue that are sensitive to the molecular shapeswe perceive as tastes and smells.
- Neurons in the inner ear provide us with information about sound.- Rods and cones of the retina allow us to see.
B. MOTOR/ EFFERENT NEURONS- send messages from the central nervous system to stimulate muscle cells
throughout the body, including the muscles of the heart, diaphragm,intestines, bladder and glands.
C. INTERNEURONS
- are the neurons that provide connections between sensory and motorneurons; as well as between themselves
- the neurons of the central nervous system, including the brain, are allinterneurons.
NEUROTRANSMITTER
•
The reason why neurons of the nervous system can communicate with each other.• These are chemical substances released by one neuron through the synapse and affecting
another neuron.
• It generates excitatory current when the neuron’s charge increase upon connection
through synapse and inhibitory current for decreasing charge.
• It is responsible for sensation, perception, cognitive, and motor behavior.
NEUROTRANSMITTER FUNCTION/s
1.ACETYLCHOLINE (cholinergic)/ ACH -Utilized by the motor neuron of the spinalcord to the muscles and glands of the body-It also found in at the limbic system(forebrain)
-Deficiency in ACH causes paralysis,forgetfulness, and intellectual losses; alsoresults to a degenerative disorder calledALZHEIMER’s disease
2.CATECHOLAMINES -Composed of epinephrine(adrenalin/adrenergic) and norepinephrine(noradrenalin/noradrenergic)-Located at the reticular formation(hindbrain).-Involved in arousal or wakefulness, learningprocess, and regulation of moods.-Individual’s reaction to “fight or flight”
stress causes catecholamine to be releasedincreasing alertness
3.DOPAMINE (dopaminergic) -Significant for memory, motor, andemotional behavior.-Located at the midbrain of the nervoussystem-Increase in dopamine can lead intoschizophrenia-Decrease can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
4.SEROTONIN -Affects body temperature, sleep, moods,

and pain sensation.-Food rich in carbohydrate leads to highlevel of serotonin producing drowsiness inwomen and calmness in men-When serotonin becomes active, it supportsin blocking pain sensation
5.GABA (Gamma-amino-butric acid) - Produces widespread excitatory action of the neuron-A reduction of GABA leads to severe anxiety-A dysfunction of GABA has been implicatedto epilepsy and Huntington’s disease EPILEPSY- intense repetitive convulsiveseizure due to excessive excitation of neurons.-Loss of GABA leads to inability to controlmovement of the upper and lowerextremities
