Introduction: The overall nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ with the autonomic nervous system being a division of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates glands as well as the smooth and cardiac muscle. There are three separate systems within the autonomic nervous system and are called the sympathetic nervous system‚ parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. They are responsible for the ‘fight

Dendr-‚ tree: dendrite – branched nerve process that serves as the receptor surface of a neuron. Funi-‚ cord‚ rope: funilicus – funiculi of spinal cord or bundle of nerve fibers. Gangli-‚ knot: ganglia – deliver information to the body -lemm‚ rind or peel: neurilemma – sheath that surrounds the myelin of a nerve cell process. Mening-

The knowledge of the different body systems as a practitioner is vital to the care of patients. (Ref)1. As a Dermatology Nurse the in depth knowledge of Integumentary and Nervous systems and many more systems are crucial when it comes to treating‚ managing or slowing down the effects of a patient’s condition. (Ref 2) A good practitioner‚ who is practically familiar with various forms‚ phases‚ complications‚ and tendencies of cutaneous disease‚ ought to be able‚ with a good light‚ to pronounce on

Nervous System- Nerve Impulse When a stimulus is strong enough‚ a nerve impulse is generated in an "all or none" response which means that a stimulus strong enough to generate a nerve impulse has been given. The stimulus triggers chemical and electrical changes in the neuron. Before an impulse is received‚ a resting neuron is polarized with different charges on either side of the cell membrane. The exterior of the cell is positively charged with a larger number of sodium ions present compared

Nervous system - Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system Nervous system From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia The nervous system is an organ system containing a network of specialized cells called neurons that coordinate the actions of an animal and transmit signals between different parts of its body. In most animals the nervous system consists of two parts‚ central and peripheral. The central nervous system of vertebrates (such as humans) contains

sensations because our nervous system encodes messages. German physiologist Johannes Muller in his doctrine of specific nerve energies described a kind of code which is anatomical. In his doctrine‚ Muller explains that different sensory modalities exist because signals received by the sense organs stimulate different nerve pathways that lead to different areas of the brain. For example‚ when the ear receives signals‚ these signals cause impulses to travel along the auditory nerve to the auditory cortex

CIRCULATION –movement in the regular course‚ as the movement of the blood through the heart and vessels.

(Davidyan‚ 2017) The parasympathetic nervous system decreases the blood pressure as well as heart rate through vagus nerve. The diameter of the blood vessels is regulated by the vasomotor system. Vasomotor nerves made up of sympathetic motor nerves transmit impulses to the vasomotor center to innervate smooth muscles in arteries which maintain a vasomotor tone to bring about uniform contraction

disorder that ceases cell growth in the nervous system and it can cause tumors to grow on the nervous tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system‚ this includes the brain‚ nerves‚ the spinal cord‚ skin‚ and many more of the body’s systems. These tumors tend to be benign or in other words they are non-cancerous. The development of these benign tumors may cause skin and or bone abnormalities. These tumors‚ also known as neurofibromas‚ form on nerves along the body and they also form

1. Differentiate between the somatic nervous system and the ANS. Somatic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways (neurons) that result in voluntary actions‚ basically anything that you can tell your brain to do like move your arm or stick out your tongue. The autonomic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways that result in involuntary actions‚ like your brain telling your eyes to blink or your intestines to contract‚ basically anything that you cannot control. 2.
