LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture

OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break.Bone mineral density (BMD) reflects the balance between bone resorption and formation.Peak BMD is reached from age 20-35 for men and women.Osteoporosis occurs when resorption exceeds formation ‚which resultant bone loss.It is diagnosed based on T-score‚with the gold standard measurement being dual energy x-ray absorpimometry (DXA)of the hip and spine BMD.A T-score is the number of standard deviations

on food intake and metabolism‚ respectively. “ POMC neurons release the anorexigenic peptide α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH)‚ whereas NPY/AgRP neurons release the orexigenic peptides NPY/AgRP and GABA at their target nuclei in brain and spinal cord. Arcuate POMC and NPY/AgRP neurons express receptors for peripheral (e.g.‚ leptin‚ insulin‚ and ghrelin) and central (e.g.‚ melanocortin‚ NPY‚ GABA‚ and serotonin) signals. “ The electrical activity (resting membrane potential and/or action
