AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE FEATURES OF GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a term used to describe the body’s response to stress. It was first described by Hans Selye, a pioneering endocrinologist, who identified three distinct stages that the body goes through when faced with stress: the…
SKELETAL MUSCLE METABOLIC ADAPTATION TO EXERCISE
Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue that undergoes various metabolic adaptations in response to exercise. These adaptations are crucial for improving muscle performance, endurance, and overall physical fitness. Exercise-induced metabolic changes occur at both the cellular and molecular levels,…
THE ADVANCED GUIDE TO CELL INJURY AND ADAPTATION
Introduction Cell injury is a process where the normal structure and function of a cell are disrupted due to various harmful stimuli. It can occur due to a variety of factors such as physical trauma, chemical toxins, infectious agents, and…
BEHAVIOURAL ADAPTATION
Behaviour is everything an organisms does in response to changes in its environment. It is basically adaptive, geared mainly towards promoting the organism’s survival and reproduction. Examples of behavioural adaptations are grouped and explained below. Behavioural Adaptation in Predators (Carnivores)…
STRUCTURAL ADAPTATION
Structural adaptations are special modification of structures which help organisms to survive better in their various environment. Some examples of structural adaptations are describe below. Structural Adaptation for Obtaining Food (a) By Toad The toad possesses special olfactory organ…
ADAPTATION FOR SURVIVAL
Adaptation is defined as the possession of special features or structure which improves the changes of an organism to survive in its environment. In other words, adaptation is the ability of an organism to live successfully in a particular habitat…
ADAPTATION
Adaptation is defined as the possession of the characteristics or traits or behaviour or structure or features that evolved over a period of time which enable an organism to survive and reproduce in response to changes in the environment or…
