Upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons act to carry nerve impulses from the brain out to the muscles in the body. Upper motor neurons supply input to the lower motor neurons. They do this by either synapsing directly to lower motor neurons‚ or by synapsing with a local circuit neuron‚ which then synapses with a lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brainstem. The neurons from the cerebral cortex are important for planning‚ initiating

abundance amount of information that I did not know before and I took each and every new knowledge into heart. I learn about parallelism‚ misplaced modifier‚ PIE‚ commas‚ i.e./e.g.‚ entry points/ strategies‚ active vs. passive verbs‚ and not using ‘you’ in academic writing and more but what stood out to me the most was PIE. Every topic I learned in this class will be in use toward my major but mostly in future papers. This semester‚ I learned point illustration explanation (PIE) in my writing skills

Chapter 2: Neurons and Glia 1. Introduction * Although there are many neurons in the human brain (about 100 billion)‚ glia outnumbers neurons by tenfold. 1:10 ratio. * Neurons are the most important cells for the unique functions of the brain. * Neurons sense changes in the environment‚ communicate these changes to other neurons‚ and command the body’s responses to these situations. * Glia‚ or glial cells‚ are thought to contribute to brain function mainly by insulating‚

The location of the damage to each person’s brain is indicated in the drawing. Patient 1 has some paralysis of his right hip and thigh muscles. Patient 2 has paralyzed trunk muscles on his right side. Patient 3’s right arm is paralyzed. Patient 4 shows paralysis of the muscles on the right side of her face. A. What method

However‚ it is interesting to reflect on how I struggle in the department of artistic ability‚ a field that taps into the creative aspect of the brain. My studio art teacher

11. Identify the four basic types of tissues and the functions of each tissue type. There are four different types of tissue. They are; nerve‚ epithelial‚ connective‚ and muscle. The nerve tissue is made up of neurons that receive and transmit electrical impulses‚ this is their function. There are several different types of epithelial tissue. First there is simple squamous epithelium tissue. This is a single layer of cells that is in the lining of blood vessels‚ the lining of the pulmonary alveoli

Dendrites: branchlike structures that receive messages from other neurons. Soma: the cell body of the neuron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. Axon: tubelike structure that carries the neural message. Glial cells grey fatty cells that provide support for the neurons to grow on and around‚ deliver nutrients to neurons‚ produce myelin to coat axons
