Hello, May I get help with this physiology question? Scenario: Lauren B. has been training to run a marathon (26.2 miles). She tells you that she is planning on drinking a bunch of creatine phosphate the night before the big race. She earnestly explains that she saw an advertisement on YouTube that said that drinking extra creatine phosphate will help provide her cross-bridges with enough ATP to get her over the finish line. You tell her that might not be the best strategy, and she asks why. You explain to Lauren that:
2) Both the nervous system and the endocrine system communicate with remote parts of the body, but they do so in very different ways. Why is muscular contraction under the control of the nervous system and not the endocrine system? Why is growth regulated by the endocrine system?

When the body is in a state of "dis-ease" the systems in our body do not function the way that they do when we are in a state of "ease". In a study of two adult twin sisters age 54, Beth and Mary, scientists were trying to understand why these twins had very different body weights and why Mary was suffering from a gastrointestinal disease yet her sister was healthy. They studied the healthy twin (Beth) to see if they could learn anything about her sisters disease from studying her. They were raised in the same house until they went to different colleges (Beth stayed in London and Mary lived along the coast line in a farm town in France). They were both mostly healthy throughout their childhood although Mary had a very sensitive stomach and suffered from allergies. Through the use of questionarres, stool samples and genetic samples the researchers learned so much about the two sisters, including that Beth was born vaginally but Mary was born by C- section because their mom was to…
