1. Explain both the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system. Include the subdivisions of each. The nervous system’s function is to monitor stimuli occurring inside and outside the body‚ process and interpret this sensory input‚ and respond by activating effector organs. It consists of the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord)‚ and the Peripheral Nervous System (neurons that carry messages to and from the CNS). 2. Describe the composition and function of the cell

The nervous system is the most important system in the body. It transmits impulses to and from the brain. Disruption of the nerve cells and fibers that transmit the messages severely impairs the body’s ability to carry out complex function. Once a disruption occurs‚ one may never recover and neurological function will steadily degrade. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that disrupts this network. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disease in young adults between 20 and

Endocrine Vs Nervous System The endocrine system acts with nervous system to coordinate the body’s activities. Both systems enable cells to communicate with others by using chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their

lead the country will have an equal opportunity. The term for a president is 4 years‚ so if someone else is fit to to be president‚ they still can once the current president’s term is finished. Also‚ the term limit ensures safety for the nation‚ so the president isn’t the same as a king. If the president only serves for a maximum of 8 years‚ they can’t have unlimited power. This way‚ if the president abuses their power‚ there is always an end to their term. Term limits have been in place since George

The nervous system is made up of millions of neurons and interconnected nerves that are comparable to a wiring system. The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The nervous system functions like a corporate giant. The CEO is the leader in the CNS and the officers and delegates are the PNS. The CNS gives the commands and the PNS follows the commands. The Central Nervous System The central nervous system (CNS) is

Psychologists This report is about the job of a psychologist. I chose the topic of a psychologist because I want to be a part of something for a cause‚ to help people. I realized recently that I pay attention to the different aspects of people’s behaviors so I usually know how the other person is feeling. So if I can apply my skills to a career‚ it would have to be a psychologist. A psychologist would be a perfect career because I knew already that psychologists study the behaviors of people

animals’ and humans’ nervous systems is a necessary process to maximise the chances of survival. Neuronal and behavioural changes are closely linked to the environment surrounding animals and humans‚ as well as to their lifestyles. This essay will present some evidence that the nervous system of animals and humans have evolved as to maximize survival‚ by looking at specific elements of the nervous system on a cellular level‚ within the brain regions‚ through functioning pathways‚ systems and finally‚ behaviour

Electrolytic Conduction Introduction Electrical conductors can be classified into two types: (1) electronic conductors and (2) electrolytic conductors. Solid and molten metals‚ semiconductors‚ and some salts are examples of electronic conductors. Conduction takes place in electronic conductors by direct migration of electrons through the conductor under the influence of an applied potential. Here the atoms or ions that compose the conductor remain stationary (except for vibrations about
