new field of science. It is divided into major schools of thought‚ since one paradigm cannot be supported across all fields. However‚ they can all agree that something biological is related to behavior whether it is genetics or a part of the nervous system. Major Schools of Thought in Psychology Over the years‚ psychology has been splintered into seven different schools‚ including schools that no longer exist. Each school focused on a different aspect of behavior and had different ways of testing

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disorder of rapid-onset muscle weakness as a result of damage to the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system that is outside the brain and spinal cord. Autoimmune means an illness that occurs when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. In this case they begin attacking nerve cells which communicate with muscles. They attack the myelin sheaths surrounding the axons of the nerve cells

people with epilepsy loose control over their body through seizures? Well the answer lays in the mechanism of cell communication. Cells communicate in order to perform any activity or work in your system. When an epileptic seizure attack is performed Paracrine and Synaptic signaling in the nervous system in charge of cell communication isn’t working properly. To begin with Paracrine signaling works with a cell that secrets substances by vesicles‚ released to the extracellular fluid where substances

1 A Running when a starting pistol signals the beginning of a race is an activity that encompasses the skeletal system‚ the muscular system and the nervous system. These systems function interdependently to enable an individual run successfully in a race immediately the pistol shoots (Oleksy‚ 2010). A1 a) The structures and the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system that are involved in the activity of running are: skeletal muscles (Diagram 1)‚ sensory or afferent neurons‚ the

nerve impulses. Myelin is produced by two different types of Glial cells‚ Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system (Brain and Spine) and Schwann cells produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (Outside Brain and Spine). If myelin is not properly maintained‚ the transmission of nerve impulses could be disrupted and as myelin deteriorates nervous system functions can be impaired. Alexander disease targets the CNS.

detected by the body’s nervous system. These changes are detected‚ interpreted and responded to. By sending electrical and chemical impulses the nervous system sets in place reactions to counteract these conditions. An example of this is if you where to place your foot on a sharp object‚ pain is detected by nerves or receptors in your foot and send a message through your foot‚ leg and into your spinal cord and into the brain which forms part of your central nervous system. This signal is interpreted
