Quantum mechanics is one of the major revolutions in 20th century Physics. It is probably the closest science has come to a fundamental description of the underlying nature of reality. And yet it is totally bizarre—it flies in the face of all our intuition and common sense. It sounds more like science fiction‚ or a poorly written fantasy‚ than notions which serious scientists would entertain. In this paper‚ we attempt to explain some of these fantastic notions for the layman. This paper comes with

The Central Nervous System or (CNS) is located in the center portion of the body as its name implies. The (CNS) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. Our brain is in control of many very important body functions and sensations like these for example: sleep‚ muscle movement‚ memory‚ sexual activity‚ emotions‚ hunger and thirst. Our spinal cord extends several types of nerve fibers from the brain acts like a switching and relay terminal for the peripheral nervous system as is stated in Mosby’s

Humans and the Rat Respiratory System The human respiratory system is very similar‚ if not practically identical‚ to the respiratory system of a rat. The only notable difference is the division of the lobes in human lungs. The left lung of a rat is composed of 1 lobe‚ while the right lung has 4 lobes. The right lung of a human contains 3 lobes and the left lung is composed of 2 lobes. Other than that (and some structural differences along with size) the human and rat respiratory systems work in the same
