The biological approach attempts to explain all behaviour through biology‚ particularly focusing on genetics‚ neurochemistry and hormonal changes as well as how evolution may have shaped human behaviour. Genes carry the instructions for the development of characteristics like intelligence‚ temperament and height. The main focus on how genetics has influenced our behaviour has looked at genotype and phenotype. Genotype is the genes a person has. Phenotype is the characteristics their genes produce

Valsalva. Overflow incontinence occurs when the bladder is full of urine and the urine spills out because it has reached its filling capacity. This usually occurs in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This may also occur in individuals with spinal cord injury in the setting of trauma or multiple sclerosis. Risk factors for urinary incontinence include: • Obesity • Having given

the stem cells that are capable of growing into new nerve cells. This is why human cannot repair damage to the brain or spinal cord .it is because embryonic stem cells can grow into so many different tissues‚ including nerves’ that many scientists and members of the community strongly support further research .scientists working on mice have already shown that a cut spinal cord

medical community after many decades of research. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and the spinal cord‚ which leads to patches of plaques in the regions of the brain and the spinal cord (Tenemabaum‚ 2011). The disease affects the body’s neurons‚ the cells of the brain and the spinal cord that carry information‚ which creates thoughts and perception‚ therefore allowing the brain to control the body instead of

Hippocrates and other Greek doctors who lived at the time of Hippocrates. He put great emphasis on clinical observation – examining a patient very thoroughly and noting their symptoms. Galen also accepted the view that disease was the result of an imbalance between blood‚ phlegm‚ yellow bile and blood bile. Galen also believed in the healing power of nature and he developed treatments to restore the balance of the four humours. Galen believed in the use of opposites – if a man appeared to have a fever
