Horses are admired because of their confident stance, and swift running. Its legs are important because their movements rely on them. Here are some of the health conditions that may affect your horse’s hind legs: Stringhalt “Stringhalt is the over-flexing of one or both back legs,” Katherine Blocksdorf wrote in her article for The Spruce. If your horse’s hind legs look like it is taking a high step, then it must be suffering from this health condition. You may not notice the flexing of its…

Electrical and chemical synapses serve different functions in the nervous system, and the use of each type of synapse has advantages and disadvantages for situations requiring signal transmission. One of the advantages of the use of an electrical synapse is speed, as electrical synapses allow action potentials to pass directly from neuron to neuron through the use of gap junctions. This direct passage and resulting speed of transmission isn’t present in chemical synapses. Chemical synapses rely…

If you have a sprain on the ligaments surrounding the joint of your big toe, you definitely have a turf toe. Turf toe is very much common on people playing football. But it also happens countless of times for people who are into basketball, soccer, wrestling, and even dancing and gymnastics. These people are affected by such condition since their sports and hobbies involved pushing their big toes forcefully and repeatedly on the ground which results to a turf toe. When it is caused by a…

Earlier this year, the New York bitforms gallery presented Daniel Canogar’s “Small Data.” Composed of “nine video projection-mapped objects that are intimate in scale,” Canogar explored society’s relationship with its ever-growing technological advances. Canogar, following the philosophy that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, or in this case art, gathered old television remotes, CDs, keyboards, calculators, and cell phones and smashed the items into small pieces: making the objects…

Previous works have established that RA functions in the patterning of the anterior-posterior positional identities of central nervous system (Holland and Holland, 1996, Escriva et al., 2002, Schubert, 2004, 2005, 2006 and Koop et al., 2010). It can be depicted from the results that the p-test indicates a significant difference between the experimental and control subjects. This means that the retinoic acid, which was added to the experimental group only , have adversely affected the…

Consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, the central nervous system is one of the three parts of the nervous system in human body. This system is responsible for information and action processing. It coordinates the response to a stimulus by integrating sensory information and responding properly in the environment. The brain, as the control center of human body, interprets the sensory information (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) from all parts of the body. On the other hand, the…

In the article by (multiple authors) wanted to test whether memory and imagination where independent functions. Similarly it is believed that imagining the future depends on the ability to retrieve episodic details from past experiences in order to build a novel experience. Both memory and imaging functions are known to be carried out in the hippocampus so the researchers wanted to know whether the hippocampus could distinguish between remembering the past and imaging the future. To address…

How Biomechanical Knowledge Can Contribute to Physical Performance The field of Biomechanics involves study of external and internal forces and their impact on human movement. External Forces can include forces applied to other objects or persons, ground reaction forces, impact forces and fluid sources (Vogel, 2013). Conversely, internal biomechanical forces include those resulting from muscle activation and joint movement. Knowledge of this interplay between humans and their environment during…

There is a rudimentary notion that memory can store an exact copy of information like a video camera and it could be easily and precisely recalled at a persons will. Cortical processes could distort memory as the cortical network that capitalizes on such contextual information is suggested to connect the portrayal of related objects such that visually perceiving an object will activate the visual representations of related objects. For example when one sees a fork they would link it…
