in human beings. The brain has definable characteristics that can be observed and analysed (Robinson‚ 2012‚ p.2). For example the activity of the brain when sleeping is examinable on electroencephalograms (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2013‚ p.452). A magnetic resonance imaging reveals the location of different functions of the brain (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2013‚ p.432¬). When dissected‚ the brain’s physical properties‚ such as size‚ shape and colour can be analysed (Robinson‚ 2012‚ p.2). On the other hand the mind is

They include facial grimacing‚ eye blinking and other eye movements‚ and head or shoulder jerking. Simple vocalizations include repetitive sniffing

Cancers affecting mankind To date‚ none of the approximately 60 anticancer drugs used in conventional chemotherapy exhibits a selective uptake in tumor tissue and generally only a very small fraction of the administered dose reaches the tumor site. If surgery or radiotherapy is not effective‚ cure rates are in the range of 10% and‚ as a consequence‚ 90 % of chemotherapeutic agents are administered in the palliative setting to stabilize the disease or to improve the quality of life. With such a

Melissa Fellin 10/6/13 A.P. Psych Review Intro There are two communication systems in the brain The Nervous System and the Endocrine System Nervous System: extensive network of nerve cells that carry messages in pulses of electrical and chemical energy throughout the body. This is the network that first comes to your rescue by accelerating you heart and tensing your muscles for action. Endocrine System: a slower acting communication network that sends a follow up message that
