Your heart races as you run out in the street to see if you can be of any help. So much is happening at one time‚ you feel like your brain is on overload. ! Just how does your nervous system deal with so much information at one time? Did you realize that a big part of communication between and within human body systems is electrical in nature? Without it‚ body processes would shut down‚ starting with your heartbeat! You should remember from PBS that your heart beats when an electrical signal moves

that our bodies can feel‚ whether they are actual objects or internal pain. Although we are aware of these textures‚ pressure‚ and sensations most of us probably do not realize that it is the job of our nervous system to make sure we are conscious of these things. XXX So what about our nervous system helps us identify these sensations? In order for our bodies to perceive vibrations we need Pacinian corpuscles. The Pacinian corpuscles are located our fingers and hands where they detect vibrations by

SafeAssign by the due date specified on Blackboard. 1. Summarize reflex circuits and how the nervous system sends signals to organs. Why is the pharmaceutical industry interested in this function? Reflex circuits harmonize single organs activities‚ so you don’t have to consciously plan your heart beat and breathing. Reflex circuits are made up of neural circuits‚ which are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. The neurons transmit signals down axons‚ and then the signals stimulate the release

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gherig’s Disease) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a deadly disease of the nervous system. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease‚ ALS at this time affects 25‚000 people in the U.S. today. One in 50‚000 people will be affected in any one year. The average age for diagnosis of ALS is between 30 and 70‚ although there have been cases of teenagers contracting it.The average life span after diagnosis are three to 10 years‚ although 20 percent of those affected will outlive

“How does the brain naturally control pain? And how can we target these systems with treatments?” How does the brain receive pain? The brain receives pain through nociceptive stimuli which activates pain receptors on neurons called nociceptors. Nociceptors can be placed into two categories: A-delta (Aδ) fibres and C-fibres. A-delta fibres are small‚ myelinated‚ neurons that transmit signals fast and mediate sharp pain. C-fibres are smaller unmyelinated neurons that slowly transmit signals. They

2.2 Electrical Communication Study Guide by Hisrich 2.2.a How does communication happen within the body? Electrical Signals Nervous System Chemical Signals Endocrine System The nervous system is made up of neurons. Neurons communicate just like people do‚ but they send messages using action potentials (electricity passing through their axons). Each neuron picks up signals at its dendrites‚ passes the signals down the axon‚ into the axon terminals‚ and into the synapses. The synapse
