Initial Response to Exercise Within this article I will be outlining the key elements of the initial responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular and energy systems to exercise. As a matter of first importance, there are numerous reactions that happen in the cardiovascular system that produce improvements inside of the initial two minutes of exercise. One of these is heart rate. The heart rate rises by pumping more blood around the body. Typically, the cardiac muscles of the heart

Definition | Role in Learning and Development | Neurons | A neuron is known as an excitable cell that can process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. Neurons are the core components of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. | Neurons begin developing in the early stages, like when a child is in the womb. Language and early stimulation is also tied in how children will interact. Interactions on a daily basis can stimulate a child’s brain

Cells, Tissues and Body Systems P2 Nervous Tissue A number of components make up the nervous system and these are also composed of the nervous tissue. The nervous tissue performs an imperative part in the fact that it is in charge for accepting, distributing and handling sensory input. It can be found in the three main areas of the nervous system which are the brain, nerves and the spinal cord. The nervous system contains two significant parts which are defined as peripheral and central.

in this paper, we will speak of six. To understand what neurotransmitters do; it will be necessary to do a small review of some other terms that will be included in explaining the six major neurotransmitters. Neurons are basic elements of the nervous system; and, unlike other cells, they can communicate with and transmit information to others cells over long distances. The neuron has a cell body and a cluster of fibers at one end that are called dendrites. The dendrites receive messages that other

Multiple Sclerosis Corrine Ruffin ITT Technical Institute Nursing 110 Instructor: April Mock Date: 11/20/2015 Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system fights the central nervous system; this makes it an immune-mediated disease. Inside the central nervous system, the immune system attacks the nerve fibers and the fatty matter that encases and pads the nerve fibers called the myelin (National MS Society, n.d). The harmed myelin forms scar tissue which is called sclerosis;

third day of development, the human egg or zygote it is now a small mass called the blastocyst. By 1-2 weeks the blastocyst’s inner cell mass separates into three layers. The Mesoderm is responsible for developing muscles, bones, blood, circulatory system, teeth, connective tissues and kidneys. The endoderm is responsible for the internal organs such as the stomach and intestine. And the ectoderm is responsible for things such as our skin, hair, sweat glands, salivary glands, brain, spinal cord, and

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). It causes the body's disease-fighting (immune) system to destroy the protective covering (myelin sheath) around nerves in the brain. When this happens, signals from the brain do not get sent properly or may not get sent at all. There are several types of MS: Relapsing-remitting MS. This is the most common type. This causes sudden attacks of symptoms. After an attack, you may recover completely
