Buccal nerve

For two months, as I followed every conceivable lead, Caulder grew nastier, fuming constantly about my incompetence. “What the fuck have you been doing with your time?” he bellowed. “Do you have any idea the flack the department will take, that I will take, if it comes out we killed a guitar player while trying to dispatch an ambassador’s daughter? I’m not letting you jeopardize my reputation—or my retirement.” “It’s not my fault. You taught her every trick she knows.” “She switched sides, Mark. This is a simple targeted killing.” In training we learned that assassination equaled murder. The U.S. Government did not condone the killing of someone who disagreed with policy. On the other hand, a “targeted kill” was more akin to self-defense in advance than murder. In Caulder’s mind, Sarah had become an enemy combatant and fair game. “You’re letting the fact that she’s a woman cloud your judgment.” Caulder’s voice seethed with venom. “This all harks back to Judith. Do I need to put someone else on the case?” I shook my head. “I can handle it. Just a little more time.” “One month. I plan to retire with a clean slate.” Back in my cubicle, I searched my desk for another roll of antacids. That bastard would bring up Judith again. Dragging my thoughts from the past, I stared at the photos in Griffon’s file. Recently I’d spent so much time staring at her picture I felt I knew her. I no longer called her “Griffon.” She’d become “Sarah.” At night I’d wake up drenched in sweat, tormented…

On the Should of a Stranger The sound of my shovel breaking the ground is the only noise that reaches my ears. The warm tears running down my cheeks, the only thing I feel. I slow down my breathing to match the rhythm of the steady chink of my shovel as it enters the dirt, almost reaching a hypnotic state. Anything to keep my mind off what is happening. Chink. An image of me on my knees beside the road flashes before my eyes, and with it comes a searing pain. My shovel misses its mark and…

In the front of a ginormous school, just staring up at the school hanging over me. As I had enough courage to walk inside I pushed through the crowed of people. There was senior party banner that was hanging on inside the school. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go necessarily because I was a kind of a popular girl. I don't want to mess up my reputation and ruin my education in school, I was a A+ student. There could be fights that could break out of hand. Troublemakers at the school, that are…

After Joe left the small garret that I shared with Herbert Pocket in London, I decided that I must leave at once to inform Mr. Jaggers of my need to visit Estella back at Ms. Havisham’s house. As I was about to step foot into his office, this young girl wrapped in a scarf with a large floppy hat ran up to me and stopped me in my tracks. She quickly asked me if I wouldn’t mind joining her for tea, and before I had time to reply, she pulled me into a tea shop nearby. As we stepped into the shop,…

A nerve cell is also called a motor neuron, which is made from a cell body, an axon and axon terminals. The cell body contains a nucleus and dendrites that receive the signals and send it down the axon that is covered in myelin sheath. The axon terminals are connected to the muscles creating a neuromuscular junction. This is where the signal is relayed to the muscle. There are two groups of motor neurons: upper and lower. Upper motor neurons are those found in the brain and lower motor neurons…

The principal effect that make people continue smoking is that the drug excites neural activity and speed body functions. In other words, it makes the body feel good every time he/she smokes because the drug (cigarettes) helps keep motivated the body and feel energetic throughout the year. That is why it is really difficult a person stops smoking. Although, at the same time the drug is killing nerve cells in the brain because it has strong toxins that it can damage the nerve cells and kill them.…

know that as we age our age of motion will decrease, but it can be up to 30% as we reach our senior years. Over the year’s muscle will begin to shorten thus losing their elasticity. For seniors maintain a quality of life stretching needs to be a part of their life. Stretching can increase their joint range of motions, making daily tasks a bit easier to complete. There is no set time of schedule of when stretches should be done, but seniors should aim for 3 days a week, performing each stretch…

Polyradiculitis, otherwise known as a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), is a very rare disease where the immune system attacks the spinal nerve roots. Fewer than 20,000 a year get this disease, and I was one of them. It was one day in the early April of 2001. I was a healthy three year old toddler that went from running around and climbing on furniture to not being able to walk. My mom started to notice that I wasn’t walking; but instead I was pulling myself across the floor. I also had…

Muscle Pain, Adult Muscle pain (myalgia) may be caused by many things, including: • Overuse or muscle strain, especially if you are not in shape. This is the most common cause of muscle pain. • Injury. • Bruises. • Viruses, such as the flu. • Infectious diseases. • A chronic condition that causes muscle tenderness, fatigue, and headache (fibromyalgia). • A condition, such as lupus, in which the body’s disease-fighting system attacks other organs in the body (autoimmune disease). …

separate functions and organs and also have their own fair share of problems. The muscular system composes of the tissues and organs that are used to exert a force, whether under voluntary or involuntary control. Muscles are composed of long, slender cells called fibers, and these fibers come in bundles with very few or countless amounts per bundle. Muscles move by either contracting or extending, which is directed by nerve impulses sent from the central nervous system. There are three main…
