#1 Make Observation What causes Alzheimer’s disease neurologically? This question came to my mind when I was watching the movie ‘The Notebook’ for the fifth time. Unusual for a guy‚ I love romantic genre movies and I was wondering why Alzheimer causes short and long term memory loss. I also had an interest on the Alzheimer’s disease after watching the movie ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ where the protagonist tries to fix the neurology nerve system to heal his father’s Alzheimer. #2 Ask Question

ANIMAL TISSUES 1. Classify the animal tissues. On the basis of the function they perform‚ animal tissues are classified into four different types. They are: i) Epithelial tissue ii) Connective tissue iii) Muscular tissue iv) Nervous tissue 2. What are epithelial tissues? What are the characteristic features of these tissues? The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are called epithelial tissues. They also perform the functions of secretion and absorption

When light enters the eye it first enters through your cornea‚ the transparent protective coating over your eye. Next it will pass through the pupil which is the small opening in the middle of your iris‚ or colored part of your eye. The muscles in the iris help to protect the eye by expanding and contacting based on the brightness of the light in your environment helping you see much clearer in bright and dim light. In side the pupil the light will then move through the lens which focuses the light

similarities between the brain and the government? We know there are three branches of government: the executive branch‚ the legislative branch‚ and the judicial branch. The frontal lobes‚ nerve cells‚ nervous system‚ neurotransmitters‚ thalamus‚ axons‚ and cerebellum are located in your brain and head. Relating their functions to the three branches. Despite there being multiple governments and multiple brains they are all similar when it comes to control‚ power‚ and balance. Every branch is necessary

“The cells in your body are tiny-a row of about forty would fit into 1mm. But although they are too small to see with the naked eye their complexity is remarkable. A single cell can be thought of as an organised chemical system‚ separated from its disorganised surroundings by a membrane” (Boyle et al 1999) First here is a brief summary of major eukaryotic organelles and their structures. The nucleus is the largest and most prominent organelle in the cell. It is usually spherical and about 10um in

protein molecules. The protein precursors for each type of peptide are made in the cell body which is the site of almost all protein synthesis in the neuron. The protein is packed into large vesicles with enzymes. These vesicles are transported to the axon terminal and released.

containing a nitrogen molecule which is not part of a ring structure. Among the amine neurotransmitters are acetylcholine‚ norepinephrine‚ dopamine‚ and serotonin. Acetylcholine is possibly the most widely used neurotransmitter in the body‚ and all axons that leave the central nervous system (for example‚ those running to skeletal muscle‚ or to sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglia) use acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter. Within the brain acetylcholine is the transmitter of‚ among other neurons
