Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

(Zapletalova). An enzymes job is to attach to one of the reactants‚ or the substrate‚ and lower the biochemical activation energies. AChE uses hydrolysis to break down the neurotransmitter acetylchoine (ACh). This neurotransmitter is found in neuromuscular junction and triggers the contraction of muscles (Sadava). After Ach is broken down it forms choline and acetic acid. The purpose of this experiment is to get a better understanding of how AChE acts as an enzyme. The reason this enzyme and protein

Influence of Hand Dominance on Neuromuscular Reaction Time Abstract Neuromuscular reaction time may be influenced by hand dominance. This study examined whether hand dominance could influence the measurements of neuromuscular response by catching a meter stick in free-fall. A total of 9 subjects were examined with respect to hand dominance. The mean of the neuromuscular reaction time of the dominant and non-dominant hand was 268 mm and 314 mm‚ respectfully. The neuromuscular reaction time of the dominant
