The nervous system is made up of millions of neurons and interconnected nerves that are comparable to a wiring system. The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The nervous system functions like a corporate giant. The CEO is the leader in the CNS and the officers and delegates are the PNS. The CNS gives the commands and the PNS follows the commands. The Central Nervous System The central nervous system (CNS) is

Compare and Contrast Sommia Khan Dr. Doumen Exocrine versus Endocrine glands: The similarities between exocrine and endocrine glands are that they are both glandular tissues. Glandular tissues are generally composed of cuboidal cell or columnar cell. Exocrine glands release substances like sweat and saliva through ducts on to the surface of the body. Exocrine glands include merocrine sweat glands‚ apocrine sweat glands and holocrine glands. Merocrine sweat glands‚ also known as eccrine sweat glands

Introduction Nervous systems are composed of circuits of neurons‚ highly specialized cells that communicate with each other and with other types of cells by electrical or chemical signals.—The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of brain and a nerve cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all neurons and their projections that are outside and connect with the CNS. The most basic circuits is a reflex arc‚ which occurs rapidly in response to inputs from the sensory neurons and

Nervous System- Nerve Impulse When a stimulus is strong enough‚ a nerve impulse is generated in an "all or none" response which means that a stimulus strong enough to generate a nerve impulse has been given. The stimulus triggers chemical and electrical changes in the neuron. Before an impulse is received‚ a resting neuron is polarized with different charges on either side of the cell membrane. The exterior of the cell is positively charged with a larger number of sodium ions present compared

Usually these are secondary locations of other infections in the body: infectious diseases‚ endocarditis‚ pulmonary and urinary infections‚ regional inflammations etc. The pathways by which pathogens reach the bodies nervous system are: through blood pressure‚ arteries or veins‚ dissemination of nearby (eg the sinuses‚ internal ear‚ etc..) or through neuronal

underlying physiological mechanisms of behavior. Physiological psychology is a complex but fascinating field of study. It explores the relationship between our biological systems and behavior. Structure and function of the nervous system from the neuron to the brain‚ as well as the interrelationships between the brain and such behaviors as eating‚ sleeping‚ learning‚ memory‚ emotion‚ and mental disorders will be discussed using examples from the behavior of both humans and lower organisms.
