Intro Senses connect us to ourselves and surroundings. Sensation: the raw information‚ doesn’t yet mean anything to you until... Perception: the mental process of sorting‚ identifying‚ and and arranging raw sensory data. Enduring Issues in Sensation and Perception Person-Situation: how accurately perceptual experiences reflect the world Mind-Body: experience depending in biological processes Diversity-University: How similarly people experience events Stability-Change‚ Nature-Nurture: How

NEUROTRANSMISSION Neurotransmitter substance released from presynaptic cell‚ diffuses across synaptic cleft‚ produces effect on postsynaptic neurone e.g. central synapse 1.Amino acid and amine neurotransmitters are synthesised in the axon terminal Peptide neurotransmitters are formed in the cell body 2. Neurotransmitter is taken up into vesicles by transporters 3. Synaptic release occurs due to a rise in intracellular calcium. Vesicles discharge neurotransmitter into the synaptic

What happens to the myelin in Multiple Sclerosis? (1 point) --Multiple Sclerosis is causes the demyelination of axons in the spinal cord and brain. This is a result of loss of oligodendrocytes and scarring of white matter in the nervous system. Also‚ demyelination in MS is inflammation caused by an autoimmune response. The inflammation prevents proper recovery and

Human Physiology/Senses ← The Nervous System — Human Physiology — The Muscular System → Senses Are the physiological methods of perception. The senses and their operation‚ classification‚ and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields. Sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. What are Senses? We experience reality through our senses. A sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. Many neurologists disagree about how many senses

Chapter 9: Muscles and Muscle Tissue‚ Lecture Outline: I. Overview of Muscle Tissues (pp. 276–278; Table 9.1) A. Types of Muscle Tissue (p. 277; Table 9.1) 1. Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton and consists of large cells that bear striations and are under voluntary control. 2. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 3. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and

shortens or contracts muscle fiber so that it pulls on its attachment. Muscle are stimulated by a chemical reaction called acetylcholine‚ it synthesizes in the cytoplasm of a motor neuron and stored in vesicles at the distal end of the motor neuron axons. Each muscle fiber is packed with myofibrils‚ which is bundles of contractile filaments made up of actin and myosin. A longitudinal view of a myofibril reveals the reason for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The myofibril

December 18th‚ 2013 Block 8 Body Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems
