Moorpark College Human Physiology Name: _________________________________ EXERCISE 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Laboratory Report Answer the following questions. (3 points each). 1. What is the difference between membrane irritability and membrane conductivity? Membrane irritability is the ability to respond to a stimuli and convert it in to nerve impulses. Membrane conductivity is the ability to transmit that impulse that is created by membrane irritability. 2

Ronald Ian T. Borja BSEE - SEP I - R Biofuel Made of Used Cooking Oil Introduction Biofuel‚ a gasoline and diesel fuel substitute that can be made from a variety of oils‚ fats‚ and greases‚ is of interest to farmers for a number of reasons: It can provide an additional market for vegetable oils and animal fats. Biofuel is an organic‚ non-toxic and biodegradable fuel made from everyday renewable resources. It can power your car ’s engine and help the environment at the same time. It doesn ’t

Trigeminal nerve The trigeminal nerve is the fifth of twelve pairs of cranial nerves enervating the face and head‚ and is denoted by the Roman Numeral V. It has three divisions which enervate the forehead and eye (ophthalmic V1)‚ cheek (maxillary V2) and lower face and jaw (mandibular V3). The trigeminal nerves function in sensing facial touch‚ pain and temperature‚ as well as controlling muscles used for chewing. The trigeminal nerve functions should be distinguished from the facial nerve (cranial

Introduction Neurons (also known as neurons‚ nerve cells and nerve fibers) are electrically excitable and the most important cells in the nervous system that functions to process and transmit information. Neurons have a large number of extensions called dendrites. They often look likes branches or spikes extending out from the cell body. It is primarily the surfaces of the dendrites that receive chemical messages from other neurons. One extension is different from all the others‚ and is called

Cranial Therapy — How it works & when to use it Different theories on how it works Exactly how craniosacral therapy works is still being explored. Scientific research continues to investigate the existence of the craniosacral rhythm and to distinguish it from the heart or respiratory rate. Research to date has been inconclusive and further study is clearly necessary. Dr. Sutherland described a palpable rhythmic movement within the body that occurs in the expansion and contraction of the bones of

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.

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
