system are nerve cells‚ or neurons. Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that transmit signals throughout the body. The most important structures of a neuron are the long extensions that extend out from the cell body which are Dendrites and Axons. Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals and conduct them toward the cell body whereas Axons are extensions of neurons that conduct signals away from the cell body to other cells. When the dendrite is not transmitting a signal

Nervous System II: Anatomy Review 1. The somatic nervous system stimulates ____________ muscle. The autonomic nervous system stimulates ___________ muscle‚ ____________ muscle‚ and ___________. 2. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) consists of two divisions‚ each innervating the effector organs. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) generally speeds up everything except digestion. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) generally slows down everything but digestion.

classes of chemical messengers. The human body contains chemical messengers. There are four groups of chemical messengers within the human body. Each chemical messenger are unique in their own way‚ having different functions throughout the body. The four groups are as follows in no specific order: Autocrine‚ paracrine‚ neurotransmitter‚ and endocrine. Neurotransmitter chemical messengers are let out by neurons where they are deposited into the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitter chemical messenger

BPA‚ is a carbon based synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols. The chemical formula for BPA is (CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2. BPA was first synthesized in 1891‚ and was recognized as a synthetic estrogen in the 1930s. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of BPA in 1960 to manufacture certain plastics and epoxy resins. This chemical compound of synthetic estrogen is used to harden plastics and resins‚ while keeping them lightweight. BPA is found

with the neurons. Our organs sense things the brain needs to know. Signals are sent to the brain‚ it is decoded and then tells your brain what muscles to use and how. The signal is sent‚ a neurotransmitter. This is stored in the axon. An electrical impulse starts in the neuron. The charge is sent down the axon and this is how it starts. A neuron has three basic parts: the body or soma‚ the axon and the dendrites. The Cell body is the center for sending and receiving impulses. The axon is a tube

The Released: What happens after the mentally ill are released from prison. Abstract Mental illness has been around since the beginning of time. Back in the 1940s or ’50s‚ a man with schizophrenia would have been locked away in an isolated state mental hospital. In the 1960s or ’70s‚ following the widespread deinstitutionalization of people with mental illness‚ he likely would have been released. Now the future for people with mental illness could be very different. The most likely place
