The nerve impulse The information is transmitted by polarity changes in the membranes of cells due to the presence of neurotransmitters that alter the ionic concentration inside the cell. Moreover‚ inside the neuron proteins and ions are negatively charged . This difference in ion concentration also produces a potential difference between the outer membrane and within the cell . The value reached is about -70 millivolts (negative inside with respect to the value of positive charges outside

holistic view‚ we analyse a blind man. Since this person has lost one of his senses he is much more dependant on other senses such as touch for example. Therefore the mind muscle connection has created strong links between the brain/nervous system and nerves in his fingers (braille) to ensure the human flys (recalling upon both the fight or flight theory and Darwin’s natural selection - and also a point that Tread-m touched upon in his most recent post‚ the Causality Paradigm - Cause and Effect ).

Spinal Cord Injury * Short Case Study #3 1. Describe the functional anatomy of the spinal cord using the following terms: white matter‚ gray matter‚ tracts‚ roots‚ and spinal nerves. * White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system‚ and it consists of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another as well as in between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies. Unlike

If they were ripped and torn‚ the reattachment would be extremely difficult. 4) The doctor had to trim the bone on each side of the cut to put in the plate

current is directed over the nerves that lead to those electrodes so that a computer can record and evaluate the consequent nerve impulse for velocity‚ onset and amplitude. Neuropathies are caused by damage to the nerves axon and/or damage to the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve. If a response is slower than normal‚ damage to the myelin sheath is implied. If the height of the response’s amplitude is low with a relatively normal speed of conduction‚ damage to the nerve axon is implied. How

Nuttel has a medical condition that has to do with his nerves. Mr. Nuttels nerves are very easily damaged. His nerves cause him to have breakdowns when he gets scared or something. Mr. Nuttels condition in the house was bad because Vera told him a story that got him nervous. He thought he was seeing ghost but it was just the story Vera told him. Mr. Nuttels condition was very serious because he could have had a heart attack from his nerve condition or possibly even worse than that. Mr. Nuttel was

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 organs of the body. The receptors translate events in a person’s surroundings . . . into nerve messages‚ which are known
