individual. This drug can become more addictive when taken with other drugs or alcohol. Anything that causes the central nervous system depression is a risk factor when taking Demerol at the same time. Demerol is only given by prescription and its distribution is highly controlled. Demerol acts on the central nervous system and smooth muscle tissue. It slows the central nervous system down. This drug attaches to opioid receptors found in the spinal column and brain to interfere with the transmission

Biological Basis of Behavior William James- mental activity is also physiological activity Neuron- basic unit of the nervous system *Each neuron is a living cell with a nucleus and other parts common to all cells. Three main parts of the neuron: 1. Dendrites: the receiving part of the nucleus 2. Cell body (Soma): The processing part Electrochemical Transmission 3. Axon: the transmitting part Normal habit change: Doing the same behavior over and over again (same neurons being used over and over)

Autonomic reflexes are those which are unaware to us and act on visceral organs of the body‚ whereas somatic reflexes involve skeletal muscle stimulation. Both types of reflexes are put into effect via the nervous system. (1) The Patellar reflex‚ or Knee-Jerk reflex‚ is used to test the nervous tissue in the spinal cord from

Why do we jump when we watch a scary movie? People jump when watching scary movies because the loud noise or flashing picture (the stimulus) passes through out eyes or ears (the receptor) and our endocrine system responds to the surroundings thus sending electrical impulses to the brain causing our muscles (the effectors) to spasm causing us to jump or scream. In addition‚ the blood has a increased amount of hormonal adrenaline and a higher heart rate. Hormones Hormones are a chemical substance
