between the cells and the interstitial fluid. The result is water leaving the cells to restore the balance. The disruption in the interstitial solution is recognized by neurons called osmoreceptors. These osmoreceptors are located in the region of the anterior hypothalamus. These osmoreceptors send a signal that causes us to drink more water‚ in order to restore the osmotic balance between the cells and surrounding fluid. In the case of pretzel eating‚ if we do not drink more water‚ eventually the excess

Stroop was the first to perform the cognitive task‚ the Stroop effect. The effect is a study on interference‚ which makes two signals in your brain go off at the same time. These signals are located in a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate. Anterior cingulate is a part of the brain that regulates blood pressure‚ reward anticipation‚ decision-making‚ empathy‚ and emotions. The task can affect people’s reading abilities‚ because the effect interferes with the urge to read the word and not

Lab Report: Exercise 10: Organization of Nervous Tissue Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To understand the structure and function of multipolar neuron‚unipolar and bipolar neurons. Also to identify the structures of a nerve. There are no safety concerns for this lab. Step 1: Relates to Lab Exercise 10/Activity 1‚ 3‚ and 4. Assignment 1: Write a brief description

Question 1. a. Develop an outline of the components of the human nervous system‚ inclusive of the CNS (central nervous system) the somatic system‚ and both divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Include in your outline the major distinctions among these systems. Human Nervous System – Overview The human nervous system is composed of all nerve tissues in the body. The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli‚ transmit stimuli to nervous centers‚ and to initiate response

Within this essay I shall write about whether biological or social influences can contribute to the overall gender identity and which has the biggest impact or if it is both. Many people often mistake sex and gender to mean the same thing; this is untrue however sometimes they can be interchangeable. Gender is referred to the expectations and cultural constructions associated with their biological status of being female or male which is their sex. In more simple words Unger (1979) suggested the term

This area of the brain is connected to originality‚ self-expression and individualism. They further discovered that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex which is connected to practical actions and restrain‚ decreased in

Brain properties assumed to be relevant for intelligence are the (absolute or relative) size of the brain‚ cortex‚ prefrontal cortex and degree of encephalization. However‚ factors that correlate better with intelligence are the number of cortical neurons and conduction velocity‚ as the basis for information-processing capacity. Humans have more cortical neurons than other
