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

The knowledge of the different body systems as a practitioner is vital to the care of patients. (Ref)1. As a Dermatology Nurse the in depth knowledge of Integumentary and Nervous systems and many more systems are crucial when it comes to treating‚ managing or slowing down the effects of a patient’s condition.

The nervous system comprises the central nervous system which is made up of the brain and spinal cord‚ with the main functions being processing information and determining responses and the peripheral nervous systems which is made up of all sensory‚ motor and inter neurons within the body and these are located on peripheral nerves. All of them work together to collect sensory data and also control the actions of the body. Sensory neurons collect sensory information and convey it to the brain‚ and

FM TRANSMISSION SYSTEM The basic communications system has: Transmitter: The sub-system that takes the information signal and processes it prior to transmission. The transmitter modulates the information onto a carrier signal‚ amplifies the signal and broadcasts it over the channel Channel: The medium which transports the modulated signal to the receiver. Air acts as the channel for broadcasts like radio. Receiver: The sub-system that takes in the transmitted signal from the channel

The nervous system is one of the most important systems in the body. The nervous system helps to keep the human body in balance. There are several important parts of the nervous system; the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and nerves. Each part of the nervous system has different jobs. There are two main parts of the nervous system peripheral and central. The peripheral nervous system is a collection of peripheral nerves‚ ganglia and specialized sensory structures that‚ as a unit‚ carries sensory and motor information

and the one afterward. Most young people‚ however‚ do not know what it is like to have a child‚ I was not truly prepared for the world I entered after childbirth.

Drugs and the nervous system Neurotransmitters within the body include excitatory and inhibitory‚ noradrenalin‚ dopamine‚ serotonin; acetylcholine and glutamate are examples of excitatory neurotransmitters. GABA and glycine are examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters. General anaesthetics General anaesthetics act mainly on the central nervous system to stop information processing; these may be given by inhalation or intravenously. Nitrous oxide or laughing gas is used in maintain anaesthesia

First of all‚ what is BRAIN? Brain is an organ in our body that controls functions‚ movements‚ sensations and thoughts and ability to reason out. If we don’t have we cannot move‚ think‚ and have a normal life in short we die. Our heart pump approximately 20% of blood in our brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. The brain is the main control center for all individual activities. It controls our muscular activities or movements
