Discussion Essay 1 The study of Human Anatomy and Physiology is deemed as a "gateway" to a career in Nursing and Allied Health. Not only is Anatomy and Physiology a gateway into a career in nursing‚ it’s the only way to get into a nursing program or to even be considered to become a nurse/doctor. Ask any college about their prerequisites for nursing and one of them will most certainly be a passing grade if not a B average in Anatomy and Physiology. Bemidji State University has a page of FAQ’s and

Anatomy and physiology of the brain and spinal cord The brain is a spongy organ made up of nerve and supportive tissues. It is located in the head and is protected by a bony covering called the skull. The base‚ or lower part‚ of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together‚ the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves that send information to and from the brain. The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS

Sensory Over-Responsivity Disorder Sensory processing disorder (SPD)‚ is a sensory disorder that makes it difficult to process different sensations and stimuli. This disorder affects 5 to 16 percent of school age children nevertheless; it has yet to be recognized as a distinct neurological disorder. This is because; it has been associated with other mental disorders; if the disorder was recognized it was diagnosed as an underlying disorder to a different mental disorder. (Ben Sasson er al.‚ 2007

YAWNING Physiology‚ Theories and Contagiousness First‚ let’s look at what this bodily motion is: Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. We know it’s involuntary because we do it even before we’re born: According to Robert Provine‚ a developmental neuroscientist at the University of Maryland‚ Baltimore County‚ research has shown that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. And while yawning is commonly associated with relaxation and drowsiness‚ your heart

Unit 4222-393 Understanding Sensory Loss O 1-1 A range of factors can impact on individuals with sensory loss. We gather so much information from our sight and hearing. Talking‚ listening & reading are all things we do in everyday life‚ we rely on our senses to understand and process what is going on around us and to carry out our everyday living skills‚ so to lose any of these will have a massive impact. Decreased vision and/or hearing can lead to a breakdown in communication‚

Visual Sensory systems Visual sensory systems rely on electromagnetic (EM) waves to give an organism more information about its surroundings. This information could be regarding potential mates‚ dangers and sources of sustenance The human visual system involves communication between the eye and the brain to represent external stimuli as images. The human visual system gives the human body the ability to see our physical environment. The system requires communication between its major sensory organ
