The Historical Background to the English Legal System The United Kingdom The United Kingdom (UK) is divided into four regions: England‚ Wales‚ Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each of these regions can be thought of as a country. However‚ the UK is one state not a federation of states (as in a federal state like the US or Australia) because all the separate parts are subject to the UK Parliament. This is said to have sovereign power. This means that it is subject to no higher legal authority

as‚ being established four decades after Magna Carta‚ it reiterated that “no freeman shall be taken‚ or imprisoned‚ or disseized” of freehold or liberties but “by the lawful judgement of his peers” or “by the law of the land” . Thus‚ if the rule of law had been strictly applied‚ the Petition of Right of 1628 would hardly have been necessary. Furthermore‚ the Petition of Right also aimed at allowing the right of habeas corpus‚ introduced through the Magna Carta‚ to mature‚ as it provided that no

brains neurotransmitter pathways. Testosterone production is controlled by a group of nerve cells at the base of the brain‚ called the Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus helps in controlling appetite‚ blood pressure‚ mood and reproductive ability. Anabolic Steroids can alter the messages that the hypothalamus sends to the body‚ which can disrupt normal hormone function. Anabolic Steroids have an effect on the brains’ neurotransmitter system. They affect the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter systems

specific to sensory neurons‚ open in response to mechanical forces (i.e. stretch‚ touch‚ pressure‚ temperature changes or chemicals) Ligand- is a particular molecule that causes a receptor to open. The ligand gated channels open in response to a neurotransmitter binding to the surface of a channel receptor on a postsynaptic cell membrane‚ when open these channels allow the flow of electrically charged ions between extracellular and intracellular environments of the cell‚ resulting in the generation of

The Psychopathology and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder The concept of a drastic shift in mood being classified as an illness was first described by the French psychiatrist Jean-Pierre Farlet in 1851 (Marmol‚ 2008). Farlet coined the term “Folie Circulaire” to label a disorder characterized by manic and sad episodes separated by symptom-free intervals (Marmol‚ 2008). As time passed‚ the description along with the classification changed‚ altering from an entity on its own to a unified disorder with

Parkinson’s or PD is a disease that attacks the peripheral nervous system around the age of 50 years old. This devastating disease causes the degeneration of the mind and gets worse with time. It is categorized by the loss of basic mobility‚ making daily life a real challenge. It causes most motor skills to go away entirely and leaves a person with a resting tremor‚ akineisa‚ and muscle stiffness. Parkinson’s is incurable but treatment is available to subdue symptoms. It is genetic and may be caused

the cell membrane of a dendrite that is on the next neuron and paralysis results from the blocking of a neurotransmitter transmission. Succinylcholine‚ the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug‚ attaches to the chemical messenger receptor‚ also called a neurotransmitter receptor‚ at the motor end plate and changes the receptor to prevent the binding of acetylcholine‚ the neurotransmitter‚ to the receptor. When the depolarization occurs‚ when the voltage-sensitive sodium channels feel the depolarization
