epilepsy began in the mid-1800s‚ with the works ofthree English neurologists: Russell Reynolds‚ John Hughlings Jackson‚ and Sir WilliamRichard Gowers (Rose‚ 1999). Jackson defined a seizure as "an occasional‚ an excessive‚and a disorderly discharge of nerve tissue on muscles." (Chillemi‚ 2012).His definition isstill used to describe seizures.Epilepsy is classified into different types‚ depending on part of brain that is affected andthe resulting seizure. However‚ all type of epilepsies have the same symptoms;characterized

of communication of neurons in your nervous system. Also ionic channels are seen that they stimulate and they activate the cell to send electrical signals through central nervous system. Epilepsy is known as a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells or neurons in the brain sometimes transmit signals in an abnormal way. There have been diagnosed more than 30 types of seizures‚ which generally are divided into two types of such cases‚ focal seizures that affect only one side of the brain and

ANIMAL TISSUES 1. Classify the animal tissues. On the basis of the function they perform‚ animal tissues are classified into four different types. They are: i) Epithelial tissue ii) Connective tissue iii) Muscular tissue iv) Nervous tissue 2. What are epithelial tissues? What are the characteristic features of these tissues? The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are called epithelial tissues. They also perform the functions of secretion and absorption

Leukodystrophies. These are disorders that cause abnormalities and the destruction of myelin‚ the “white matter” that protects nerve fibers in the brain. Myelin is essentially made up of water proteins and mostly lipids‚ it covers the axons of all neurons in the form of a myelin sheath as it helps insulate the nerve fibers and promotes rapid transmission of nerve impulses. Myelin is produced by two different types of Glial cells‚ Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system (Brain

five stages: 1. The vagus nerve stimulate the sinoatrial node or SAN‚ which is the pacemaker of the heart. Is a small area in the upper wall of the Right atrium‚ close to the vena cava; the fibers of the of the SAN contract 70 times each minutes‚ and after that the impulse is disperse across the atrial cardiac muscle. 2. Simultaneous contraction occurs in both‚ the right and the left; that is mean between tricuspid and bicuspid valves. 3. The atria contraction sends impulses

exposure to loud sounds can cause additional cochlear damage. The only way to prevent noise induced hearing loss is to limit exposure to loud sounds and wear ear protection. What happens when cochlear damage occurs? Thousands and thousands of tiny nerves called ‘hair cells’ line the inside of the snail-shaped structure‚ the cochlea. Each hair cell is responsible for picking up a different sound‚ sort of like keys on a piano‚ but on a much more detailed scale. All of the hair cells work in concert

What Is Neurotransmitter? Neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released from a nerve cell which thereby transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to another nerve‚ muscle‚ organ or other tissue. (Webster new world medicine dictionary. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9973) What are Hormones? Hormones are chemicals that carry messages from organs of your body to your cells. The glands that secrete hormones are part of the endocrine system (pituitary‚ thyroid‚ adrenals
