The Effects of Selected Drugs and Diseases on the Central Nervous System Due May 4th‚ 2015 Unit 7 Assignment 2 AP 1 – Monday Morning Melissa Rios ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to provide information about the drugs Alcohol‚ Aspirin‚ Lidocaine‚ Morphine‚ Ketamine and succinylcholine. It’s important to understand what they are‚ what they do‚ how they are broken down in the body (physically and chemically) and what diseases they can either treat or cause. Certain drugs

brain has many jobs. It controls our spinal cord‚ our central nervous system and our nervous system. The spinal cord carries messages to the brain and also to the nerve cells that carry messages from the brain. Your body senses everything. Like something smashing your toe. You react to it. It all sends itself to the brain and it reacts. The cerebrum‚ controls thinking. The nerve cells carry information from all central nervous system. Like certain areas‚ such as the 5 senses.

synthesis‚ outflow and major effects of each. The two branches of the Autonomic Nervous System are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The main process of the sympathetic division is to stimulate the fight-or-flight response in the body‚ which means it is in charge of stimulates actions. In the sympathetic system‚ epinephrine and norepinephrine are the main neurotransmitter. In the sympathetic system‚ there are two neurons involved in transmission and they are the pre-ganglion

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that ceases cell growth in the nervous system and it can cause tumors to grow on the nervous tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system‚ this includes the brain‚ nerves‚ the spinal cord‚ skin‚ and many more of the body’s systems. These tumors tend to be benign or in other words they are non-cancerous. The development of these benign tumors may cause skin and or bone abnormalities. These tumors‚ also known as neurofibromas‚ form on nerves

During this experiment‚ the sensory receptors located in the nerve endings on my fingertip responded to the presented stimulus‚ recognizing the pressure of touching the sandpaper. This information was transmitted through my body via the peripheral nervous system to my brain. This is an apparent example of anatomical encoding. The brain then interpreted the signals coming from these receptors‚ and formed a perception of coarseness. This is an illustration of functional encoding. This perceived and

When substances like acetylcholine and norepinephrine are released in the body‚ they tend to bind to receptors‚ tissues and neurons. These neurotransmitters transfer signals throughout the nervous system and stimulates action potentials in the postganglionic neurons. Receptors found on the ANS and PNS includes the cholinergic receptors‚ which consists of all sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic‚ sympathetic postganglionic and all parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. The cholinergic receptors

When you are diagnosed with a brain tumor‚ it is a scary life-changing event. The brain is one of the most important vital organs‚ and if found with a brain tumor‚ go to the doctor for immediate help. The brain and spine make up the central nervous system or CNS. Where each vital function is controlled. So if you have a tumor in your CNS‚ it can effect everything you do like: your thought process‚ how you talk‚ and even how you can walk. There are two types of brain tumors‚ primary and secondary
