It signals to the rest of our body when we are happy‚ sad‚ angry‚ in pain‚ etc. this alarm system within our brain triggers the release of adrenaline which causes us to heighten our awareness and responsiveness. This causes glucose to gush through our blood stream and muscles giving us the ability

Although the basic elements of behavior are indeed a very complicated system‚ one must identify the different elements and discuss how they unite to form a very distinctive and efficient system. The body’s nervous system and brain are the producers of the basic elements of behavior. The human body is a tremendous and intrinsic machine with many parts all functioning in unison. Robert S. Feldman (2009) states‚ “The nervous system is the pathway for the instructions that permit our bodies to carry

Study Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which continues to be on the increase throughout the world. A horrible and unpredictable disorder that can vary in presence from benign to partial disability to completely catastrophic as transmission between the brain and other areas of the body becomes interrupted and confused. With the onset of MS‚ the body’s own auto-immune system attacks the protective layer of myelin surrounding the spinal cord. Over time

and communicable disease. Although approximately 90% of polio infections cause no symptoms at all‚ affected individuals can exhibit a range of symptoms if the virus enters the blood stream. In about 1% of cases‚ the virus enters the central nervous system‚ preferentially infecting and destroying motor neurons‚ leading to muscle weakness and acute flaccid paralysis. Different types of paralysis may occur‚ depending on the nerves involved. Spinal polio is the most common form‚ characterized by asymmetric
