Central nervous system

Abstract The Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease of the central nervous system containing the brain and spinal cord is potentially disabling. With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes a disruption in communication between the brain and the rest of the body. At some point in time, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged. The signs and symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are…

Nervous tissues have neurons and nerves that support cells. Its function is to send impulses to different areas of the body. It reacts to stimuli and conducts impulses to different organs in the body that carry a response to the stimulus. Nerve tissues are in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves which are all made up of neurons. http://www.msnucleus.org/membership/html/k-6/lc/humanbio/4/lchb4_3a.html Cardiovascular system The cardiovascular system is made up of your heart, your blood…

if those people found out that pain is one of the most essential pieces to life. Not only does the nervous system benefit the body in many ways, it senses pain and sends a message to the brain that a part of the body is experiencing pain. The brain has millions of neurons to help identify different situations that occur from anywhere at the top of the head to the bottom of the toes. The nervous system and brain of a person work together tremendously to leave people wondering how pain works, why…

The system is what makes up our body, it's the foremost sophisticated of the various systems within the body, and it's conjointly a network of nerve cells and fibres that transmits nerve impulses between components of the body. This essay will explore the structure and functions of the system similarly as well as looking in depth at the neurons and how they communicate The system is split into two components, the central nervous system- which incorporates the brain and also the spinal cord. The…

process is performed by afferent neurons located in the spinocerebellar tract, in which they relay the message to the central nervous system regarding the length and tension of the muscle fibers.…

Our mind arises in our relationships with others.…
