Assignment 3 Written Essay Questions 1. a) We are able to experience different types of sensations because our nervous system encodes messages. German physiologist Johannes Muller in his doctrine of specific nerve energies described a kind of code which is anatomical. In his doctrine‚ Muller explains that different sensory modalities exist because signals received by the sense organs stimulate different nerve pathways that lead to different areas of the brain. For example‚ when the ear

Central Nervous System In the movie the Wizard of Oz‚ the Scarecrow desperately wanted a brain. He opened his lips‚ blinked his eyes‚ shook his head and said‚ “I haven’t got a brain‚ I’ve only got straw.” The reason for the emphasizing of his actions is because without a brain‚ those functions are not possible. The brain is the center of the entire body. It controls what we do and how we do it. The brain is the center of the central nervous system along with the spleen. It consists of 100

1. Differentiate between the somatic nervous system and the ANS. Somatic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways (neurons) that result in voluntary actions‚ basically anything that you can tell your brain to do like move your arm or stick out your tongue. The autonomic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways that result in involuntary actions‚ like your brain telling your eyes to blink or your intestines to contract‚ basically anything that you cannot control. 2.

Chapter 16 The Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic (Thoraco-lumbar) division Parasympathetic (Cranial-sacral) division Somatic Motor vs Visceral Motor ■ ■ ■ ■ Somatic motor is directed from cortical levels to skeletal muscles and is voluntary. Visceral motor is directed from hypothalamus and midbrain and is involuntary‚ but has input from cortex and thalamus. Somatic lower motor neuron is in ventral horn of gray matter and neurotransmitter at skeletal muscle is Ach. Visceral motor comes from

Anatomy review for the nervous system - Week 12 Study Guide 1. Distinguish the difference between neuron‚ neuroglial cells‚ Schwann cells‚ neurofibrils‚ and astrocytes. Neuron: masses of nerve cells in nervous tissue Neuroglial Cells: provide neurons physiological requirements (fill spaces‚ give support to neurons) Schwann Cells: larger axons of peripheral neurons enclosed in sheaths Neurofibrils: thin‚ long fibrils that run through body of neuron and extends to axon and dendrites; gives neuron

Disorders of the Nervous System The way we think‚ our emotions‚ and the ability of our body to tell itself to move all connect back to the nervous system. If one part is not connected to another or if something never developed properly it can create a major problem. Disorders can occur within the brain or can be malfunctions of the nerves. Disorders can range from Palsy and Parkinson’s in which symptoms are movements such as tremors to Alzheimer’s which is mental deterioration and loss of memory

THE NERVOUS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Humans need both the Nervous and the Endocrine systems basically because they do different things in different ways. They both have a co-ordination role and send instructions to other parts of the body. The nervous system does this by way of neurotransmitters‚( chemical messengers)‚ which are able to get messages through at very high speeds‚ and the endocrine system by way of hormones‚( also chemical messengers)‚ which are released from glands and travel
