Neurons are the specialized cells of the nervous system. There are three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons are involved with sensation, such as feeling pain, and they relay messages to the brain or spinal cord. Motor neurons transmit impulses from the central nervous system to activate parts of the body, such as muscles or glands. Interneurons receive signals from sensory neurons and from hormones and act like bridges transferring messages between

Treatment of Chronic Pain is often performed a single practitioner whether that be a Medical Doctor, Chiropractor, Nutritionist, or an alternative health care professional

language. In my opinion, one of the most fascinating things about the brain is that “the brain has multiple memory systems supported by distinct brain regions.” (P.25). This multiple memory theory is built on evidence that different components of the brain store information based on the type of information it is. After reading Brain Facts: A primer on the Brain and Nervous System, it led me to many wonderings–How come we can remember events from when we were 5 years old or details from yesterday

neurons in ventrolateral preoptic area (VLPO) to inhibit monaminergic transmission (Carlson, 2013). Sundström Poromaa et al., (2003) support this view when they describe the GABA neurotransmitter as; “the GAGAergic system is a ubiquitous and primary mediator of inhibition the nervous system” (p. 24). Next, the two types of GABA neurotransmitters are discussed, as they relate to the reading in the next paragraph. From the literature review, two types of the GABA receptors were described, which are

cortisol. Too much cortisol shortcircuits the cells in the hippocampus, making it difficult to organize the memory of a trauma or stressful experience. Memories lose their context and become fragmented RACING HEARTBEAT The body's sympathetic nervous system, responsible for heart rate and breathing, shifts into overdrive. The heart beats faster, blood pressure rises and the lungs

Gena Montgomery Ms. Johnson Biology CP, 3B 10 April 2015 Alexander’s Disease Alexander disease is a rare disorder of the nervous system. Alexander’s disease a cluster of disorders called Leukodystrophies, which contain the damage of myelin. Myelin is a mixture of proteins that protects the nerves, increasing the speed of the nerve pulse. Alexander’s disease diagnosis is based on medical discoveries, and confirmed with MRI variations and identification. This translates glial fibrillary

you want your child to become addicted to smoking? Cigarettes smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals and 69 are known to cause cancer. So why do people smoke? Why is smoking so harmful? 1. Nicotine: is a highly addictive drug which stimulates the nervous system. It also for a certain amount of time improves alertness, memory and much more. 2. Tar: is a Sticky substance contains many toxic chemicals and causes cancer. 3. Carbon monoxide: is a Poisonous gas which reduces amount of oxygen blood can carry

organs that are vital to its survival, the brain/nervous system, complex eyes and arms for capturing its prey. In this paper the topic to discuss is these different organs and how they have adapted physiologically to its environment. The Giant Octopus has a considerably larger brain in comparison to other Mollusca which wraps around the esophagus and just below the optic socket. The brain, sense organs, and central nervous system are the most highly developed of the invertebrates
