Introduction In order to understand the causes of autism‚ biologically‚ environmentally‚ cognitively‚ one must understand what autism truly is. According to the American Psychiatric Association‚ autism spectrum disorder is defined by impairment in social interaction and communication skills‚ as well as an occurrence of repetitive behavior along with a need for a routine (APA‚ 2000). The American child psychologist Leo Kanner first described the condition in 1943 (Funk & Wagnalls‚ 2014). It is

in cardiac muscle tissue. How well did the results compare to your prediction? Cells do not show tetanus or summation because cardiac cells have both long action potentials and long twitches. Activity 2 1) Explain the effect that extreme vagus nerve stimulation had on the heart. How well did the results compare with your predictions? The heart rate decreases stopping the heart temporarily. 2) Explain two ways that the heart can overcome excessive vagal stimulation. Two ways to overcome excessive

Chapter 9 IMPULSE AND MOMENTUM COLLISION PROBLEMS A tennis ball and racket collision: a microscopic view COLLISION: FORCE VS TIME GRAPH A large force exerted during a small interval of time is called an impulsive force. LINEAR MOMENTUM The product of the particle’s mass and velocity is called the linear momentum p = mv As a vector quantity‚ the momentum can be represented in terms of its components: px= mvx py= mvy ALTERNATIVE FORM OF NEWTON’S SECOND LAW F = ma = m(dv/dt) =

Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

Cranial Nerves The brain and spinal cord (CNS) are connected to parts of the body by nerves and cell bodies called the peripheral nervous system. The PNS contains all of the nervous tissue outside the brain and spinal cord. Afferent (sensory) nerve fibers-conduct nerve impulses toward the CNS Efferent (motor) nerve fibers-conduct nerve pulses away Sensory Somatic System – Carries nerve impulses from the senses to the CNS and also carries the impulses to the skeletal muscles and glands

The vagus nerve is the tenth of the twelve brain nerves. The vagus nerve contributes to the feelings associated with infections such as appetite‚ fatigue and induction of disease behavior. It extends from the brainstem to the abdomen‚ with branches in the neck‚ thorax and abdomen 68. The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system‚ has efferent fibers‚ ascending signals from the brain to the peripheral organs‚ as well as afferent sensory fibers‚ and transmits information from the peripheral
