The human beings’ nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the nerves. The nervous system enables a way for the brain to receive information about someone’s surrounding. Then‚ the brain is able to send signals to various areas of the body‚ so it can respond. Millions and millions of cells called neurons creates the nervous system. “Specialized neurons called receptors are located in the ears and eyes and the other sense

Case Study #3 Anabolic Steroids – The Nervous System The main purpose of the Nervous System is communication through electrical impulses. The nervous system allows for the coordination of all systems. It has the ability to detect and respond to stimuli. Neurons make up nervous tissue and have the ability to transmit electrical impulses. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system as well as the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal

HYPONATRAEMIA IN THE NEUROSURGICAL PATIENT INTRODUCTION Sodium the most abundant electrolyte in the human body‚ and therefore the osmolality of body fluids is strongly dependent on its concentration. Osmolality in turn is important in maintaining homeostasis within the brain. Ironically‚ dysfunction of the brain can cause changes in sodium homeostasis. To avoid neurological deterioration‚ morbidity or mortality the sodium level must be corrected promptly. The two most common causes of hyponatraemia

Therefore the mind muscle connection has created strong links between the brain/nervous system and nerves in his fingers (braille) to ensure the human flys (recalling upon both the fight or flight theory and Darwin’s natural selection - and also a point that Tread-m touched upon in his most recent post‚ the Causality Paradigm - Cause and

The "Fight or Flight" response The flight or fight response‚ also called the "acute stress response" was first described by Walter Cannon in the 1920s as a theory that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system.[4] [5] In response to acute stress‚ acetylcholine is released from preganglionic sympathetic nerves that innervate the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. As a consequence‚ the chromaffin cells secrete the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline)

An adolescent brain needs proper nutrition in order to develop and grow. Too little or too much nutrients will affect the nervous system and could possibly delay cognitive development. Under nutrition can cause delay in cognitive growth and development. If the brain does not have the adequate vitamins‚ minerals and micronutrients it does not have the ability to grow brain tissues and conduct nerve impulses correctly. This could lead to inappropriate behaviors and social adaption as well as decreased
