    the body must be coordinated and transmitted simultaneously and very quickly. The brain itself requires extremely fast speeds to operate at even at the simplest level. How do the biological tissues of our body support such rapid coordination of the brain‚ limbs‚ and sensory input? They do so with nervous system tissue that imitates electrical wiring. A series of photomicrographs and schematic illustrations show myelinated nerve fibers. Panel A is an illustration of a single neuron with major structures

    Have you ever wondered which body system helps bring oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the heart? Well that system is called the Circulatory System or the Cardiovascular System. Have you ever wondered which body system helps bring air into the lungs? That system is called the Respiratory system. You are probably wondering why I am mentioning the Respiratory and Circulatory system? I am talking about them because‚ these are the two system that I am going to be comparing and contrasting in this

    Overview Of Neuron Structural and Functional Properties and Electric Circuit Parameter Models from a Cellular Perspective. Neurons serve the purpose of receiving signals coming from neighbouring neurons; they assimilate these signals‚ and generate nerve pulses. They then conduct and transmit these nerve pulses to other neurons which are capable of receiving them. Neurons are the structural constituents of the brain. Typically‚ neurons are five to six orders of magnitude slower than silicon logic

    The first property of water is that it is an excellent solvent. This is because of the chemical composition and physical attributes of water. Since water is polar‚ it allows water molecules to become attracted to different molecules. The attraction can be so powerful that it can disrupt the attractive forces of the different molecules. For example‚ water can be heavily attracted to salt that it can disrupt the forces that hold sodium and chloride‚ therefore dissolving it. The second property of water

    The Neuron Doctrine is a concept that led scientists to the realization that the brain consists of many specialized regions and cells. However‚ during the process‚ scientists had to overcome obstacles such as the minute size of the cell‚ the jello-like consistency of brain tissue‚ and the similar cream- colored pigmentation of tissue cells. Advances in technology over the years‚ though‚ helped to solve these problems: the development of the compound microscope‚ the discovery of how to harden‚ or
