Neurodegenerative diseases is a common cause of dementia which means that the brain cells known at the neurons either are degenerating therefore the neuron die off quicker than that of the neurons of a normal aging processes. This will lead to a more decline in the persons mental health such as memory‚ language and sometimes their physical abilities all depending on which area of the brain is infected. These neurodegenerative diseases are known to us as Alzheimer’s‚ fronto-temporal dementia‚

Muscle contractions tend to be smooth and vary in strengths‚ depending on the demands placed on them. The variations of strength are called graded muscle responses. There are two ways a muscle contraction can be graded‚ either by changing the frequency of stimulation or by changing the strength of the stimulation. When a muscle is responding to a change in stimulus frequency‚ the nervous system will reach a greater muscular force when increasing the firing of motor neurons. This causes a wave or

Anger affect brain and body Anger is a primary human emotion we all experience from time to time. We feel anger when we feel threatened due to physical conflict‚ injustice‚ humiliation or betrayal. The human brain is setup with a scanning device that recognizes anything that is threatening. It then signals to our body how to react.

drugs that are described. The first is called Cholinesterase and it is prescribed for early to moderate cases. (NY) The purpose of the drug is to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine which is a chemical messenger that is important for learning and memory. It also supports communication among the nerve cells by keeping acetylcholine levels high. (NY) It also delays worsening symptoms for up to 6-12 months generally‚ for about half of the patients who take them. Which means it’s only about 50% effective

In this case the man suffers from a sympathetic preganglionic lesion‚ and the neurotransmitter needed in order to communicate with the postganglionic neuron is Ach. (12) To create an excitatory response in the cholinergic-nicotinic receptor without having the neuron release the neurotransmitter‚ doctors can administer a nicotinic agonist in order to make the transmission of the signal possible. The nicotinic drug will mimic the action of Ach. (5‚13) Unfortunately‚ recreating Ach action could create
