VITAMINS AND MINERALS Vitamins and minerals make people’s bodies work properly. Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day‚ some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others. Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A‚ D‚ E‚ and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6‚ B12‚ niacin‚ riboflavin‚ and folate) — need to dissolve

pairs of nerves branch from the CNS. 12 of the pairs branch from the brain and the other 31 nerve pairs branch from the spinal cord. The 43 pairs of nerves stretch throughout the body to form the peripheral nervous system. The CNS is the coordinator and “decision maker” in the nervous system‚ and the PNS is sending the information as sensory input and receives instructions as motor output to muscles and glands. The autonomic nervous system has some elements in the CNS and it shares some nerves with

The biggest controversy of the deaf community has been the topic of a cochlear implant. The debate is centered around the expense‚ risk and idea of the implants causing deaf people to distance themselves from the deaf community rather than emerging themselves. This is due to the cochlear implants ability to provide a sense of sound to the deaf individual. It is only used when a hearing aid is not strong enough to provide adequate function. The cochlear implant involves a lot of time to consider the

<br><br>When someone looks at an object‚ what he/she is really seeing is the light that the object reflects‚ or gives off. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on to the retina of the eye. Here‚ the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain‚ where it makes an image of the object‚ and then that image is passed on to muscles and glands.<br><br>The eye is well protected. It lies within a bony socket of the skull. The eyelids guard it in front. They blink

SENSE ORGANS RECEPTORS (Sense organs) * Transducers of specific forms of kinetic energy * Change mechanical‚ electrical‚ thermal‚ chemical‚ or radiant energy into nerve impulses in sensory neurons Two major categories: * GENERAL RECEPTORS * Often exist as individual cells or receptor units * Widely distributed throughout the body * Most numerous such as: * touch‚ temperature‚ and pain: and * to initiate various reflexes necessary for maintaining

brain is a spongy organ made up of nerve and supportive tissues. It is located in the head and is protected by a bony covering called the skull. The base‚ or lower part‚ of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together‚ the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves that send information to and from the brain. The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is made up of nerves that branch out from the spinal cord
