men vs women.txt A male brain is about 10% larger than the female brain and has 5% more brain cells. That sounds like good news for men but the female brain more than makes up for its disparity in size in other ways.But women have more nerve cells in certain areas. Women also tend to have a larger corpus collusum — the group of nerve fibers that connects left and right hemispheres. That makes women faster at transferring data between the computational‚ verbal left half and the intuitive‚ visual right

The Frog Life Cycle In Biology‚ we know the term metamorphosis which is the transformation process of animal’s body structure from the immature one to the adult form. This transformation process is done through cell growth and differentiation. This process usually happens in some insect’s life‚ such as butterfly. But there’s also amphibian‚ like frogs‚ which is also do metamorphosis in their life cycle. Frogs have some phases in their life cycle‚ part of the metamorphosis‚ which is interesting

he nervous system is the communication network of the body. It consists of a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells‚ called neurons‚ that transmit messages across the different parts of the body in order for it to function and react correctly. They are known as the building blocks of the nervous system. Structurally they have long extensions that extend out from the cell body. There are two types of these extensions; dendrites‚ which are extensions of the neurons that receive signals

The nervous system is an important part of the human body. The system is made up of many different parts and each part is placed in either the central or peripheral nervous systems. These two parts work together and bring physical feelings and the proper reaction to them. The peripheral nervous system is the larger of the two systems. The peripheral nervous system consists of two more systems inside of it. The two other systems are the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system

What is cognitive psychology? The study of mental processes such as perceiving‚ remembering‚ and reasoning. Analytic introspection- analyze current perception into its elementary parts. Structuralism-complex conscious experiences can be broken down to elemental structures (component parts) of sensation and feelings. Introspection-look at a stimulus and report sensations and feelings to create a description of conscious experience School of functionalism-learn how the mind produces useful behavior

The tectospinal tract connects the midbrain and the spinal cord. It is responsible for motor impulses that arise from one side of the midbrain to muscles on the opposite side of the body. The function of the tectospinal tract is to mediate reflex postural movements of the head in response to visual and auditory stimuli. Damage signs would show prevention in being able to coordinate the head‚ neck‚ and eye movements. Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies including mediating vision

The skeletal system: The bones of the skeletal system hold the body together‚ give it shape and support weight. They also enable the body to move and provide protection to the vital organs. There are four types of bones found in the human body: they are long bones which can be found in the arms‚ legs‚ fingers and toes‚ short bones which are found in the wrist and ankles‚ flat bones such as those in the skull‚ thorax and pelvis‚ irregular bones such as the bones of the vertebral column and face

Reticulospinal Tract The reticulospinal tract is a motor pathway that originates from the reticular formation‚ primarily in the pons and medulla‚ and synapses in the spinal cord. In the reticular formation‚ the reticulospinal tract surfaces from the pontine caudal reticular nucleus and gigantocellular reticular nucleus. The reticulospinal tract is responsible for postural control and autonomic function like initiation of locomotion via innervation of motor neurons into the trunk and proximal limb
