science or study of the mind and behavior”. In agreement with Merriam Webster, psychology should be considered a field of science due to the fact that it uses scientific reasoning to come up with theories, collect huge amounts of data, and relies on physiology to study human reasoning. In addition, all sciences have a foundation of empiricism. Empiricism is the idea that all knowledge is based on sense-experience and which is a fundamental requirement of scientific methods that all hypotheses…

Roman numerals. The first cranial nerve is the Olfactory nerve which is involved in the sense of smell. The function of sense of smell works when the receptors in the epithelium of inside the nose sends signals to the brain (World of anatomy and physiology, 2007). The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve which is involved with the ability to see. The third cranial nerve is the oculomotor nerve which are sensory and motor nerves. The oculomotor nerve is involved in the internal and external…

In this experiment we explored the effects of being nervous and therefore adrenaline on the human cardiopulmonary physiology. Adrenaline or epinephrine is a hormone that is emitted throughout the body in times of temporary stress or fear. Our theory or hypothesis was that in a uncomfortable interaction with a stranger the person in question would experience a spike in their heart rate and blood pressure. In a recent study on the effects of epinephrine on the heart (Fuenmayor and Gomez 2016) the…

Advanced Anatomy and Physiology October 2, 2016 Hypertension secondary to Pheochromocytoma Definition: Pheochromacytomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the adrenal medulla (and occasionally elsewhere) that can result in hypertension secondary to the hypersecretion of the catecholamines epinephrine and/or norepinephrine. This can be continuous or episodic and this release subsequently affects blood pressure by raising it as part of the body’s fight or flight response. According to our…

It took Pavlov until 1883 to complete his dissertation, which he wrote on the functioning of the nerves in the heart (Todes, 2014). Clearly, Pavlov interests were still focused mainly in physiology—not in psychology—at this point in his life. After completing his dissertation, Pavlov decided to travel to Germany where he would work alongside Carl Ludwig on his research on the circulatory system and alongside Rudolf Heidenham on his research…
