They contrast with analgesics (painkillers)‚ which relieve pain without eliminating sensation. These drugs are generally administered to facilitate surgery. A wide

Alzheimer’s Disease: Ways of Prevention and Treatment Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease is the fastest growing form of dementia that is unable to be reversed or cured. There are several factors that contribute to this ever-growing disease that can lower the risk of contracting it if one is to be cautious and aware of them. Research has discovered processes that occur in the brain that leads to the onset of this disease that may able to be hindered if caught at an early stage. Though there is not

Dementia * Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia. * It’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. Explanation: * Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells. This damage interferes with the ability

NEURONAL DIVERSITY - Categories of neurons of CNS: 1. Afferent/ sensory neurons – convey information from periphery to CNS 2. Motor- sends commands to muscles and glands 3. Interneurons – most abundant signalling elements in the CNS ( process information locally or convey information from one region of CNS to another • Types: a. Local interneurons/ internuncial neurons/ local circuit neurons – short axon Golgi type II (greatly outnumber type I in CNS)
