Chapter 2: Neurons and Glia 1. Introduction * Although there are many neurons in the human brain (about 100 billion)‚ glia outnumbers neurons by tenfold. 1:10 ratio. * Neurons are the most important cells for the unique functions of the brain. * Neurons sense changes in the environment‚ communicate these changes to other neurons‚ and command the body’s responses to these situations. * Glia‚ or glial cells‚ are thought to contribute to brain function mainly by insulating‚

Thermal Conductivity of Metals and Non-metals 1. Introduction Thermal conductivity is a physical property of materials of great importance. Unlike some physical properties‚ however‚ thermal conductivity cannot be directly measured. In order to determine a material’s thermal conductivity‚ intermediate quantities must be determined from which the conductivity may be ultimately calculated. The objective of this lab was to determine the thermal conductivity of metals. To do so‚ it was necessary to study

"You have a runner’s body’. What exactly does this mean? Do runners have certain physical characteristics that are seen throughout various runners? I want to see whether there really is a so-called runner’s body‚ yet I am faced with a challenge. What exactly defines a runner? Someone that occasionally runs around the neighbourhood? Or someone that runs repeats or trains for a marathon on a daily basis? I decided to narrow it down to my teammates on the (track and field team. I have split the top

network of specialized cells that carries information to and from all parts of the body. Neuron: the basic cell that makes up the nervous system and that receives and sends messages within that system. Dendrites: branchlike structures that receive messages from other neurons. Soma: the cell body of the neuron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. Axon: tubelike structure that carries the neural message. Glial cells grey fatty cells that provide support for the neurons to grow on and around

The six fundamental movements of major body segments are: 1. Flexion: a decrease in the angle between two body segments. a. Example exercise – utilize the arm curl machine to perform preacher curls‚ flexion occurs at the elbow. 2. Extension: an increase in the angle between two body segments or the opposite of flexion. a. Example exercise – utilize the leg extension machine to perform quadriceps workout‚ extension occurs at knee. b. Hyperextension: extension of a limb or part beyond the normal
