main factor that leads to the damage of optic nerve is elevated pressure in the eye. The optic nerve is the main visual nerve of the eye. It transmits the images we see back to the brain for interpretation. The shape and tone of the eye is maintained by a pressure within the eye‚ which ranges between 8 mm and 22 mm of mercury. When this pressure is too low‚ the eye becomes softer‚ while an elevated pressure causes the eye to become harder. The optic nerve is the most susceptible part of the eye to high

use of Nerve agents‚ and to a larger extent Chemical Weapons‚ is illegal according to United Nations Resolution 687 which passed in 1991. The production‚ stockpiling‚ and use of these weapons were banned by The Hague Convention of 1899 and the Geneva Protocol of 1925. All Nerve agents are fatal to the human body in the same way. Some are more potent‚ and some remain on the battlefield longer than others. Many factors play a role in how long a Nerve agent remains on the battlefield. Nerve agents come

understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons. We used the sciatic Lithobates pipiens nerve in this experiment‚ the sciatic nerve is long nerve‚ it extends from the buttocks

Chapter 5 Learning Objectives 1. Explain the concept of price elasticity of demand and its calculation. The price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price; it is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. 2. Explain what it means for demand to be price inelastic‚ unit price elastic‚ price elastic‚ perfectly price inelastic‚ and perfectly price elastic. Demand is price

Guts‚ and Brains Seminar Summary During the seminar “Bugs‚ guts and brains: How gut microbiota shapes your mind and body” on November 7‚ Physiologist from UC Davis‚ Dr. Helen Raybould discussed how gut microbes in humans and animals affects neurophysiology based primarily on the foods we eat and the genes expressed in the gut. There is an intersection between micro and host physiology that affects the overall health and behavior of the host. To understand this‚ the neural pathways by which macronutrients
