Nerve and neuron sound similar to most people‚ but they are two different components of the body (Martini‚ 375). Nerves are found only in the peripheral nervous system‚ while neurons are found in the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral nerve (Martini‚ 375). Neurons are nerves cells that are specialized for intercellular communication (Martini‚ 375). A neuron is composed of a cell body‚ dendrites and axon (Marieb‚ 376). A nerve is a bundle of axons or dendrites that is wrapped in connective tissues

Cranial Nerves The human body is a unique and fascinating entity. There is not much notice taken of the features the human body is capable of. The brain is necessary to perform day-to-day actions‚ such as the ability to speak‚ and see amongst us. This brain is made up of simple mater (Pia mater‚ Arachnoid mater‚ Dura mater) and the cranial surface to protect the brain. We live our daily lives without acknowledging the importance of this organ‚ the brain‚ unless you’re a medical student of

Our spinal cord extends several types of nerve fibers from the brain acts like a switching and relay terminal for the peripheral nervous system as is stated in Mosby’s Dictionary. The 12 pairs of cranial nerves emerge directly from the brain Sensory nerves and motor nerves of the peripheral system leave the spinal cord separately between the vertebrae but unite to form 31 pairs of spinal nerves containing sensory fibers and motor

Introduction In order to understand the causes of autism‚ biologically‚ environmentally‚ cognitively‚ one must understand what autism truly is. According to the American Psychiatric Association‚ autism spectrum disorder is defined by impairment in social interaction and communication skills‚ as well as an occurrence of repetitive behavior along with a need for a routine (APA‚ 2000). The American child psychologist Leo Kanner first described the condition in 1943 (Funk & Wagnalls‚ 2014). It is

Optic Nerve The optic nerve is located in the back of the eye and is also called second cranial nerve and cranial nerve II. the optic nerve is to transfer visual information from the retina to teh vision centres of the brain via electrical impulses. It is made up of ganglionic cells or nerve cells and consists of more than 1 million nerve fibres . Our blind spot is caused by the absence of specialised photosensitive/light-sensitive cells or photoreceptors; the part of the retina where the optic
