similarities between the brain and the government? We know there are three branches of government: the executive branch‚ the legislative branch‚ and the judicial branch. The frontal lobes‚ nerve cells‚ nervous system‚ neurotransmitters‚ thalamus‚ axons‚ and cerebellum are located in your brain and head. Relating their functions to the three branches. Despite there being multiple governments and multiple brains they are all similar when it comes to control‚ power‚ and balance. Every branch is necessary

“The cells in your body are tiny-a row of about forty would fit into 1mm. But although they are too small to see with the naked eye their complexity is remarkable. A single cell can be thought of as an organised chemical system‚ separated from its disorganised surroundings by a membrane” (Boyle et al 1999) First here is a brief summary of major eukaryotic organelles and their structures. The nucleus is the largest and most prominent organelle in the cell. It is usually spherical and about 10um in

The protein is packed into large vesicles with enzymes. These vesicles are transported to the axon terminal and released.

Acetylcholine is possibly the most widely used neurotransmitter in the body‚ and all axons that leave the central nervous system (for example‚ those running to skeletal muscle‚ or to sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglia) use acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter.
