The Central Nervous System is apart of the Nervous System, but the Central Nervous System makes up the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The Nervous System is a collection of…

Ocean County College BIOL-131-DL1 The endocrine system and ANS work together in times of stress to maintain homeostasis. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is divided into two subdivisions the sympathetic, and parasympathetic. They sympathetic nervous system activates the “fight or flight” response which causes a rise in heart rate, pupil dilation, increased sweating, and blood pressure. The parasympathetic nervous system activates the “rest and digest” or “feed and breed”…

without specifically causing a depolarization or hyperpolarization. They are found in the central nervous system, and they affect certain groups of neurons or effector cells that have the appropriate receptors. However, neuromodulators can be used to treat epilepsy, other pain syndromes and even certain movement disorders. Examples of neuromodulators are as follows; a. Noradrenaline (Noradrenaline system). According to Khetrapal (Hons), noradrenaline acts as a quick modulation of circuits and…

its own peculiar logic quite divergent from the path of the autonomic nervous system. The heart thus sends meaningful messages to the brain that were responded to. This is attributed to the neural pathway and mechanism from which an input from the heart to the brain works to facilitate or inhibit electrical activity to the brain. As such, the heart is said to contain a functional brain of its own through its complex intrinsic nervous system. The brain of the heart is composed of an intricate…

According to Michael Richardson, a music therapist, music therapy is “the use of music to achieve other than musical goals” (“Music Therapy” 0:08-0:12).
