Module nine is the last module and contains information on the brain. The different parts and functions of the brain are also found in module nine. Module 7 Neurons are the most basic elements of the nervous system. They are tasked with relaying messages from the central nervous system. Neurons are a web that connect from your brain and spinal

Lab Report: Exercise 10: Organization of Nervous Tissue Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To understand the structure and function of multipolar neuron‚unipolar and bipolar neurons. Also to identify the structures of a nerve. There are no safety concerns for this lab. Step 1: Relates to Lab Exercise 10/Activity 1‚ 3‚ and 4. Assignment 1: Write a brief description

Sample ‘short answer’ questions for Lecture Exam 4 (Final Exam) (1) Briefly describe the meninges and spaces that surround the spinal cord. Meningeal Branch: Tiny‚ reenters vertebral canal‚ innervates meninges and blood vessels (2) Distinguish among exteroceptors‚ interoceptors and proprioceptors. Exteroceptors: Respond to stimuli arising outside body Receptors in the skin for touch‚ pressure‚ pain‚ and temperature Most special sense organs (vision‚ hearing‚ equilibrium‚ taste‚ smell) Interoceptors:

Biological psychology hypothesises that the nervous system has the ability to influence the way we see the world around us. So much hinges on the existence of these cells that even different schools can agree upon their existence. A nerve cell‚ also known as a neuron‚ is defined as “Any of the impulse

A Better Understanding: Neurochemistry of Addiction To better understand the fundamentals of neurochemistry‚ a good start is at the brain. The brain makes up the central nervous system and is connected to the whole nervous system that runs through the whole body. The central nervous system receives sensory information and controls the body’s response. For example‚ a pot on a stove would be extremely hot on the hands when the stove is on and would damage the skin. This sensory information is sent
