2. Technical skill; ability to apply procedures or methods so as to effect a desired result. Acquiring technique is mostly a process of brain/nerve development‚ not development of finger strength. Skill is acquired in two stages: (1) discovering how the fingers‚ hands‚ arms‚ etc.‚ are to be moved‚ and (2) conditioning the brain‚ nerves‚ and muscles to execute these with ease and control. Many pianist think of piano practice as hours of finger calisthenics because they were never taught

Introduction to Pharmacology Chapter 1 – Pharmacology intro Pharmacology is the study of drugs. A drug can be any substance that‚ when administered to living organisms‚ produces a change in function. Thus‚ substances such as water‚ metals (iron)‚ or insecticides can be classified as drugs. However‚ the term drug commonly means any medication that is used for diagnosing‚ curing‚ or treating disease Every drug produces its intended effect‚ or therapeutic effect‚ along with other effects. The therapeutic

What is the Nervous System? The nervous system is an organ system that is a network of nerves and fibers that nerve impulses between different parts of the body‚ and is responsible for sending‚ receiving and processing. All the organs and functions rely upon these nerve impulses to function. It’s an example of the body’s master control unit. The nervous system is the control and communication system of your body. its job is to send and receive messages to your body. the nervous system controls

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 underneath the skin. As the tumors increase in size‚ they may press against vital

taste bud is a network of dendrites of sensory nerves called "taste nerves". When taste cells are stimulated by binding of chemicals to their receptors‚ they depolarize and this depolarization is transmitted to the taste nerve fibers resulting in an action potential that is ultimately transmitted to the brain. One interesting aspect of this nerve transmission is that it rapidly adapts - after the initial stimulus‚ a strong discharge is seen in the taste nerve fibers but within a few seconds‚ that response

An example of a specialised animal cell could be of a nerve cell. The nerve cell contains axons of motor and sensory neurons‚ which are in bundles of fascicles. They are surrounded by connective tissue which is the sheath of perineurium which ensures that the cells do not get damaged. This lso helps do that the function of the cell is carried out correctly (Nerve Anatomy or Structure (Expanded View)‚ 2017). The function of a nerve cell is to emit impulses through electrical signals fromt the brain

Introduction Human skeletal muscle consists of hundreds of individual cylindrically shaped cells (called fibers or myofibers) bound together by connective tissue. In the body‚ these muscles are stimulated to contract by somatic motor nerves that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord
