Anatomy of the Nervous System Structure of the Vertebrate Nervous System • Neuroanatomy is the anatomy of the nervous system. • Refers to the study of the various parts of the nervous system and their respective function(s). • The nervous system consists of many substructures‚ each comprised of many neurons. Structure of the Vertebrate Nervous System • Terms used to describe location when referring to the nervous system include: – Ventral: toward the stomach – Dorsal: toward the back –

Factors Affecting Heart Rate‚ Respiratory Rate‚ and Blood Pressure By Ann-Geyn PanganFor Michele MacKenieInvestigative Team:Biology 0993Nejat MuradOctober 14‚ 2014Jenn SakelariouIntroduction In class we studied circulatory system‚ especially the heart that plays a large part in human. We learned and analyzed its part and function in the body. The purpose of this experiment is to compare the readings of how the heart rate‚ respiratory rate and blood pressure respond to increasing levels of physical

The purpose of this lab was to find my and my fellow classmates resting heart rate and record it. There were seven people in the class and we all participated in this study. There are four places to check heart rate and they are in your wrist‚ the inside of your elbow‚ the side of your neck‚ or the top of your foot. Everyone used the wrist or their radial artery. We used our middle and index fingers to gently feel for the radial artery in each others pulse. I then counted the pulse for 10 seconds

Chapter 12: Nervous Tissue - The nervous system includes all nervous tissue in the body -Neural tissue contains two types of cells: 1) neurons (10% of all neurons‚ conduct nerve impulses) 2) neuroglia (support neurons) -We have 100 billion neurons -Organs of the nervous system: brain‚ spinal cord‚ sensory receptors of sense organs (eyes‚ ears‚ etc.)‚ and nerves (connects the nervous system with other systems‚ bundle of neurons that relay information) -Functions of the nervous system: 1) sensory

It has many‚ many parts. The nervous system is divided into two main systems‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system. The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the

Our heart pump approximately 20% of blood in our brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. The brain is the main control center for all individual activities. It controls our muscular activities or movements and similarly it stores our happy and sad memories. It correspondingly provide emotions like happiness‚ sadness‚ angriness and other emotions that we feel. The brain is main part of our nervous system. Nervous system is a

The systems cannot work by themselves as they both provide the materials needed throughout the body. They supply energy to all the cells throughout the body. The respiratory system and digestive

How Your Heart Works [pic] Your heart is a pump. It keeps blood moving around your body. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body‚ and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and other waste products. The heart has four chambers - two on the left side and two on the right. The two upper chambers are called the atria‚ and the two lower chambers are called the ventricles. The two sides of the heart are divided by a muscular wall called the septum. Each side of the heart
