advancements decreased their daily problems‚ there are some that continues to affect man even in this day and age. Recent studies of stem cells have played are very important because they show promise in helping man solve or at least grasp the solution to the diseases that have haunted him since his early days of conscious. The idea of stem cells is kind of a simple idea. This brings us to the first promise‚ not only are stem cells able to be taken from the human body‚ but scientists are now able

on neurons and they look like tree shape stems‚ they are what sends the signals out from the neuron and they also receive signals along with sending electrical stimulations to the soma. Synaptic Gap – This is a small gap between the cell membrane and the synapse it separates the neurons and allows the synapse to pass information. Axon – It’s a long slender part of the nerve cell‚ that helps transmit the neural signal. Neurotransmitter – They are brain chemicals that communicate throughout the

Stem cells agreement by Zayne Burnham Many scientists are now researching special types of cells called stem cells. Stem cells are very important and have the potential to cure many diseases; however there are also many issues to consider when using stem cells. Stem cells research has created concern for some in the community‚ national and international.beacause the best source of stem cells is growing human embryo. The dilemma is that the growing embryo is the earliest stage of human life extracting

The Brain Brainstem The brain stem plays an important role in basic attention‚ arousal‚ and consciousness. It contains the medulla oblongata‚ cerebellum‚ midbrain and pons. Its functions include things that you need to survive‚ such as breathing‚ digestion‚ heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ and arousal which makes you awake and alert.All information from our body passes through the brain stem on the way to the brain. Medulla Oblangata The medulla oblongata connects the brain and spinal cord.

This experiment was conducted to see if the brain would perform better in mathematical tasks‚ if there was an increase in blood flow through exercise. The increase in blood flow should help the brain to perform better as it receives more oxygen. This is because all cells require oxygen for cellular respiration. To test this‚ three females‚ aged 16-17‚ were asked to answer four mathematical questions for four trials. As each trial progressed‚ subjects had to run on the spot for an extra 30s. It was

new A number of factors influence the brain structures and functions associated with the motivation to refrain from using drugs. The dynamics involved include intrinsic and extrinsic motivation‚ heredity‚ and environmental forces. In general‚ internal motivation is considered to be associated with long-term behavior modification‚ whereas the successful outcome of external motivation can be short lived (Pubs.niaaa.nih‚ 2010).Motivational assessment suggests a considerable challenge.

How Long Term Alcohol Abuse Affects the Brain One in every thirteen adults suffer from alcoholism today in the United States alone (Connery 1). This is just one of many devastating truths about alcoholism. Available information on alcohol is abundant and includes not only statistics‚ but the differences between an alcoholic’s brain and a healthy adult’s brain‚ the negative affects alcohol has on the brain‚ and how to prevent those effects. Many people do not understand what‚ exactly‚ alcohol
