Although the basic elements of behavior are indeed a very complicated system‚ one must identify the different elements and discuss how they unite to form a very distinctive and efficient system. The body’s nervous system and brain are the producers of the basic elements of behavior. The human body is a tremendous and intrinsic machine with many parts all functioning in unison. Robert S. Feldman (2009) states‚ “The nervous system is the pathway for the instructions that permit our bodies to carry

the brain. The auditory system controls how people physiological and behavioral react to sound. Sound moves from the inner ear to the auditory cortex directly. Then sound moves to the temporal lobes where it is consciously perceived. Depending on the type of music will determine the response. As said by Westman‚ “The arousal level of the central nervous system depends upon the intensity‚ complexity‚ variability‚ predictability and meaning of sound stimuli. The auditory system responds most to changes

Effects on Motor Control A serious consequence of drinking is damage to the central nervous system (CNR). When a person decides they want their body to perform an action‚ the CNR sends a signal to the brain which will relay this information to the part of the body needed to perform the action.

Synapses are vital to the function of the nervous system. The most of the synapses in the nervous system in vertebrates are chemical synapses‚ where chemicals are utilized to transmit data between cells; although there are furthermore some electric synapses. The units in glossy musculature and cardiac musculature are electrically

~ For decades people have been using the effects of alcohol to suppress their pain. In the early 1900’s a physician suggested to use intoxicating amounts of alcohol before medical procedures. Alcohol has the ability to depress the central nervous system‚ it slows down the brain‚ and delivers a certain amount of pain relief. ~Aspirin is used to treat pain due to inflammation. It also used to treat several conditions such as fever‚ pain‚ and inflammation caused by diseases. Aspirin works by

The gates opening is determined by the diameter of the active peripheral axons whilst the dynamic action of the brain acts to ‘close’ the gate (Keefe et al. 1996). This theory is effective in combining peripheral sensory information with top-down information from the brain‚ but does not provide a sufficient explanation for phantom limb pain (Melzack and Katz

These systems function interdependently to enable an individual run successfully in a race immediately the pistol shoots (Oleksy‚ 2010).
