blanks 61 True/False 62 Bibliography 64 Summary The nervous system is composed of all nerve tissues in the body. The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli‚ transmit stimuli to nervous centers‚ and to initiate response. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord and serves as the collection point of nerve impulses. The peripheral nervous system includes all nerves not in the brain or spinal cord and connects all parts of the body to the central nervous system

draws more fluid in whereas a decrease in electrolytes promotes an efflux of fluids. Sustaining this type of osmotic gradient is essential for nerve and muscle function‚ hydration‚ and maintaining blood pH levels. Additionally‚ electrolytes carry electrical impulses across the cell and to neighbouring cells in order to promote muscle contractions and nerve impulses. 1. The pH of the tissues and the entire body fluids affects the condition of your health. The closer the pH is always to 7.35 - 7.45

antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents nerve impulses from triggering muscle contractions. The most commonly affected muscles are those of the eyes‚ face‚ and swallowing. It can result in double vision‚ dropping eye leads‚ trouble talking‚ and trouble walking. Diagnosis can be supported by blood tests for specific antibodies‚ the edrophonium test‚ or nerve conduction studies. The anti–acetylcholine receptor antibody test is reliable for diagnosing autoimmune

Although genetically variable it is a normal concomitant of aging and is distinct from hearing losses caused by noise exposure‚ toxins or disease agents. A sensorineural hearing loss is one resulting from dysfunction of the inner ear‚ the cochlea‚ the nerve that transmits the impulses from the cochlea to the hearing center in the brain or damage in the brain. The most common reason for sensorineural hearing impairment is damage to the hair cells in the cochlea. As one grows older‚ the hair cells degenerate

Homeostasis Homeostasis Is a technical term for the process of maintain a constant internal environment despite external changes. The internal environment‚ compromises; blood‚ tissue fluid‚ body cell contents and all the metabolic processes taking place. Constant in this instance is not absolute or fixed it is much more flexible and dynamic as it refers to the physical and chemical composition being kept within a limited range or variables for maximum efficiency‚ well-being of the whole body and
