Disorders of the Nervous System The way we think‚ our emotions‚ and the ability of our body to tell itself to move all connect back to the nervous system. If one part is not connected to another or if something never developed properly it can create a major problem. Disorders can occur within the brain or can be malfunctions of the nerves. Disorders can range from Palsy and Parkinson’s in which symptoms are movements such as tremors to Alzheimer’s which is mental deterioration and loss of memory

1.) Name and describe the function of each part of a neuron. What is a neuron? The neurons are the basic elements of our nervous system. You can call them specialized cells in which includes the units of info-development in our brain‚ are very responsible for the perception and the transportation of information. Each part of the neuron has a very important role providing information in the whole body. The most important parts of a neuron are: a cell body‚ dendrites‚ and an axon. • Cell Body‚ also

Lab IX: Nervous System Histology and Spinal Cord Part II: Neurons and nerve struture 1.) There are three types of neurons. The first is the multipolar‚ which is the most common‚ and they are found as motor neurons and interneurons throughout the central nervous system. The second type of neuron is the unipolar neuron‚ which are also called psuedounipolar neurons. They are found as spinal and cranial sensory neurons. The last neuron is the bipolar neuron. They are only found in olfactory‚ visual
