HOW DOES THE STRUCTURE OF NEURONES REFLECT THEIR FUNCTION The neuron or nerve cell is the structural unit of the nervous system. It is able to transmit messages between the central nervous system (CNS) and all parts of the body. There are two basic types of neuron namely - the sensory neuron (afferent) and the motor neuron (efferent) (Bear et al.‚ 3rd edition). The sensory neurons (Fig. 1-1) are capable of transmitting the sensation of pain and consist of three major portions which are the dendritic

acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through the movement of calcium ions‚ the muscle action potential is taken into actual muscle contraction with the interaction of two types of proteins‚ actin and
Premium Skeletal muscle Myosin Action potential
The series of events prompting muscle contraction is started some place in the central nervous system‚ either as willful action from the brain or as reflex action from the spinal cord. Beginning with depolarization at the neuromuscular junction‚ the depolarizing impulse discharges acetylcholine from the nerve ending. Which then diffuses over the neuromuscular junction (a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber). At the motor end plate‚ the acetylcholine joins

Insulin Synthesis The discovery of insulin was one of the greatest events in medical history. The existence of insulin is as necessary as that of glucose (the body’s basic unit of fuel). Both of them are related and required for life. In order for the glucose to be regulated‚ insulin circulates through blood vessels and bind with particular (insulin) receptors‚ promoting interactions essential for the wellbeing of the body’s internal mechanisms. Insulin is a hormone synthesized exclusively

schools and teachers who have a vested interest in producing favorable results. Multiple-choice tests‚ in particular‚ are graded by machine and therefore are not subject to human subjectivity or bias.” Therefore‚ state tests are a reliable resource because they are not exposed to human bias. As stated above‚ if there was not state testing‚ there would be tests created and graded by individual schools‚ which would cause bias‚ in favor of teachers‚ towards the grading.

as seen in the movie The Music Never Stopped‚ where the main character‚ Greg‚ had organic RA that extended back decades. It is also typically graded due to memory consolidation mechanisms that increase the ability to hold on to older memories while more recent memories are more likely to be affected by brain disruptions. Organic RA is also typically graded due to memory consolidation mechanisms. The brain has an increased hold on remote memories‚ while more recent memories are not as strongly held
