Joyce Avedesian Environmental Stimulus and Physical Effects on Patellar Reflex May 8‚ 2014 Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to monitor our body’s reaction to stimulation and see how our nervous system‚ specifically the somatic nervous system can affect the patellar reflex. “The patellar reflex‚ also known as the knee jerk reflex is an example of a simple two neuron‚ monosynaptic reflex arc”(Marieb‚ Mitchell and Smith‚ 2014). We tested the strength of the knee

Sponges are a group of aquatic invertebrates (animal without a backbone). There are five thousand to ten thousand known species. Sponges are multicellular organisms which have bodies full of pores and channels‚ allowing water to circulate through them. Sponges do not have nervous‚ digestive or circulatory systems. Instead most rely on a constant water

Neurons: The Basic Elements of Behavior Neurons‚ or otherwise called nerve cells‚ are the basic elements of our nervous systems. We have as many as one trillion nerve cells throughout our bodies. These cells are responsible for controlling our behavior. So what is a neuron? “A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways‚ but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells

NEURONAL DIVERSITY - Categories of neurons of CNS: 1. Afferent/ sensory neurons – convey information from periphery to CNS 2. Motor- sends commands to muscles and glands 3. Interneurons – most abundant signalling elements in the CNS ( process information locally or convey information from one region of CNS to another • Types: a. Local interneurons/ internuncial neurons/ local circuit neurons – short axon Golgi type II (greatly outnumber type I in CNS)

The human beings’ nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the nerves. The nervous system enables a way for the brain to receive information about someone’s surrounding. Then‚ the brain is able to send signals to various areas of the body‚ so it can respond. Millions and millions of cells called neurons creates the nervous system. “Specialized neurons called receptors are located in the ears and eyes and the other sense

Introduction Tissue just means a group of cells that together carry out a particular job in your body. There are four different types of tissue within the human body. This consists of the connective tissue‚ the epithelial tissue‚ the muscle tissue and the nervous tissue. Each of these tissues are vital for our bodies and each tissue has a very important role to fulfil. Epithelial tissue Epithelial tissue protects your body from moisture loss‚ bacteria‚ and internal injury. It is made up of cells closely packed
