nerve impulses. Myelin is produced by two different types of Glial cells‚ Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system (Brain and Spine) and Schwann cells produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (Outside Brain and Spine). If myelin is not properly maintained‚ the transmission of nerve impulses could be disrupted and as myelin deteriorates nervous system functions can be impaired. Alexander disease targets the CNS. Causes ALX is caused by a mutation in the GFAP (Glial fibrillary

detected by the body’s nervous system. These changes are detected‚ interpreted and responded to. By sending electrical and chemical impulses the nervous system sets in place reactions to counteract these conditions. An example of this is if you where to place your foot on a sharp object‚ pain is detected by nerves or receptors in your foot and send a message through your foot‚ leg and into your spinal cord and into the brain which forms part of your central nervous system. This signal is interpreted

what we are seeing. Our brain then computes to pick up the box. When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body‚ the brain tells the body how to react. the brain as a central computer that controls all bodily functions‚ then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this through the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains nerves that branch out to every organ

They are designed to reproduce or substitute for neurological and physiological function that has been lost to injury or disease. Wearable electrical stimulation systems deliver impulses to peripheral nerves. They induce a variety of beneficial effects‚ including muscle building‚ relaxation of spastic muscle‚ improvement

Heroin is a highly addictive analgesic drug. Heroin‚ which is a popular choice of drug in America‚ is not a new drug that magically popped up in the late 1960’s. In the mid 1800’s opium was a popular drug. Opium was brought to the country by Chinese immigrants who came here to work on railroads. In the old west alcoholism as a big problem and opium was promoted as a cure for alcoholism. Before it was illegal opium was developed as a pain killer in 1810. “It was considered a wonder drug because it

We have all experienced some level of physical pain in our life‚ ranging from a simple pinch to bone-breaking‚ tissue-tearing‚ excruciating pain. When we feel that sensation of pain‚ what is actually happening at the chemical level within our body? As children‚ the majority of us believe that pain happens at the epidermis level because we can see an injury or believe we feel it on our skin‚ even though it may be at a deeper level. The older we get the‚ more educated we become and learn that pain
