When the coffee is finished‚ our coffee maker’s beeping creates pressure changes‚ which move away from the machine and radiate to the individual’s location across the room. The waves reach the outer ear‚ which contains structures known as the pinnae‚ angled such that sound waves bounce off them and resonate. They enter the auditory canal after being significantly amplified before reaching the tympanic membrane. The waves strike the membrane and cause it to vibrate‚ which subsequently transmits them

Body Systems of Various Organisms All organisms in the world have a range of systems and organs in their body. Some organisms may share similar body systems while others have absolutely nothing in common. Several of those organisms include humans‚ pigs‚ crayfish‚ and earthworms. From their mushy‚ gushy organs to their soft‚ gentle skin‚ you may think‚ “How are humans and pigs possibly alike? Or a crayfish and an earthworm?” In many ways they may not be‚ but in other ways‚ they are very much alike

Two of the most important sensory systems in human body are optical system and auditory system. Optical system or sometime called visual system involved in the process of taken amount of stimuli and transfer it into some figure that we can perceive as images that make senses. Auditory systems involved in sound wave that transduced by drum ear into some kind of vibration that eventually gets converted back into wave what we perceive as noise. There are a lot of similarities in their mechanisms of

NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM DIVISIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: 1. Central Nervous System (CNS)=Brain & Spinal Cord 2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) a. Autonomic Nervous System=System Homeostasis b. Sympathetic Nervous System=Fight or Flight c. Parasympathetic Nervous System=Rest & Digest d. Enteric Nervous System=GI system NEURONS 1. 3 parts of a nerve cell a. Dendrites b. Cell Body c. Axon 2. Types of nerves: a. Afferent Neurons=sensory‚ conduct impulses TO the brain b. Efferent Neurons=motor

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system.1 Traditionally‚ neuroscience has been seen as a branch of biology. However‚ it is currently an interdisciplinary science that collaborates with other fields such as chemistry‚ computer science‚ engineering‚ linguistics‚ mathematics‚ medicine‚ genetics‚ and allied disciplines including philosophy‚ physics‚ and psychology. It also exerts influence on other fields‚ such as neuroeducation2 and neurolaw. The term neurobiology is usually used

Foundations of Psychology Tiara Clark PSY/300 March 1‚ 2015 Mrs. Cara Patterson Foundations of Psychology The study of psychology is fundamental to understanding mental processes and human behaviors. In the earlier years of psychology‚ there were two schools of thought that dominated: structuralism and functionalism. Structuralism focused on the structure and content of consciousness while functionalism focused on the function of psychological processes

couple of centuries our knowledge of the nervous system has increased rapidly. As there were developments in the technology and techniques that are used to study the nervous system. Previous to the discovery of the neuron there were many rival theories about the arrangement of the nervous system. The two leading scientific groups leading the research labelled themselves as ‘The Reticularists’ and ‘The Neuronists’. The Reticularists theory was that ‘the nervous system consisted of a large network of tissue
