It is the most important part of the body‚ because it maintains homeostasis and assists in every function. The brain structures of the three vertebrates‚ mammals‚ amphibians‚ and birds‚ have similar features and functions. There is still a great difference in the size‚ and importance of these structures in the brain

the specialization of function in specific structures of the brain? Developmental cognitive neuropsychology seeks to understand and explain the relationship between the human brain and its function. One might consider the extent to which cognitive development can be understood in terms of the specialisation of function in specific structures of the brain. Two contrasting theories of functional specialisation will be presented‚ debating the means by which brain functions develop and contesting

“The structures of body systems are determined by their functions”. Discuss this statement‚ focussing on the Circulatory System. You should include diagrams and relevant examples in your essay. In order to survive it is necessary for every cell in the body to exchange materials as not all cells are in contact with the external environment; we rely on the circulatory system to do this which is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. The heart consists of four chambers two atria and two ventricles

1. Describe the general structure and function of the nervous system. The Nervous System is a "network" which delivers information and monitors the processes taking place in our bodies at all times. The nervous system in all its aspects allows us to function as a single controlled and coordinated unit. The basic nerve cell nerve cell is a neuron; a chain of neurons is actually a "communication cable "inside our bodies. Neuron structure is basically the cell nucleus‚ the dendrites which receive information

This experiment was conducted to see if the brain would perform better in mathematical tasks‚ if there was an increase in blood flow through exercise. The increase in blood flow should help the brain to perform better as it receives more oxygen. This is because all cells require oxygen for cellular respiration. To test this‚ three females‚ aged 16-17‚ were asked to answer four mathematical questions for four trials. As each trial progressed‚ subjects had to run on the spot for an extra 30s. It was

animals can be intelligent as well (8). He said Koko scored around a 70~90 points on an IQ test. But this doesn’t prove all animals are smart. Since gorillas‚ apes‚ and humans are somewhat related‚ gorillas have a high chance of having a similar brain structure as humans‚ which allow gorillas to have the ability to understand and learn similarly to us. Therefore‚ I don’t think it was anything surprising to score high on IQ test. I don’t agree that animals are more like us. Even though they may
