Alzheimer disease is a disease that robs people’s memory in other words, it destroys memory and other important mental functions. At first people have a hard time remembering recent events, and they will also forget the important people in their lives. Alzheimer disease usually occurs to elderly people, but symptoms begin to develop in the mid 60’s. People with Alzheimer disease will develop dementia. Dementia is a persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury…

Film Analysis 3 Zachary Ellison In the film The Alzheimer’s project we were able to see how people with Alzheimer’s behave, and some new research findings on the disease. Unfortunately as of now the disease is not curable. Though I was able to see the disease in action in this film I know absolutely nothing about it ,so throughout this paper, I will explore what goes on with someone who has Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia ( a decrease in mental ability…

Muscles (Grip strength) In this week’s lab, we was doing an experiment on forearm, and its muscle fiber with nerves. The forearm is a part that between the primates’ elbow and wrist. Forearms contain connective tissue, nerve tissue and muscle tissue. In which, connective tissue is just radius and ulnar bones. However, there are a great deal of muscles and nerves in the forearm. When a nerve impulse transmission to synaptosomes induced depolarization, allows calcium ions to enter the cell…

Drugs are chemicals that affect the brain by tapping into its communication system and interfering with the way neurons normally send, receive, and process information. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter. Drugs that enter the blood stream have faster and definitely more intense effects. The more directly the drug enters the bloodstream determines how fast and intense the drug will take effect.…

dvancements in Neuroscience How the brain works has been a topic that has interested me for many years. I have been intrigued by how thought patterns and behavior can be changed through retraining the brain. Even with the knowledge of how to retrain the brain, little has been known about what the brain looks like as it is working, but that is changing. Neuroscientists are performing research to discover exactly what the inner workings of the brain look like. One of the…

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”…

The nucleus accumbens is the release sight for the neurotransmitter dopamine, a nature chemical in the central nervous system. When released in standard quantities, it assists in critical brain functions. Like most neurotransmitters, dopaminergic signaling entails an equilibrium between dopamine release and the re-uptake by presynaptic nerve terminal. Under specific circumstances, a stimulus will promote the release of dopamine into the synapse. Dopamine transporters will then remove the…

have are anemia, diarrhea, bone pain, sever skin rash or dermatitis herpetiformis” (Jaret). These are just some problems that people face when consuming gluten affects the immune system. The symptoms listed above are all related to Celiac disease which is a disease that causes gluten intolerance that affects the immune system. 3. Find a recent scientific article (on Google Scholar for example) that relates consumption of gluten to brain health issues and summarize the findings. (1.5 pts)…

race or region, and is potentially life threatening. MFS affects multiple systems within the body including the skeleton, heart, lungs, eyes and blood vessels (John Hopkins.org). The manifestation of symptoms with marfan syndrome may show at any time in a person’s life. Typical traits of MFS are “a tall, thin build, long arms,…

Parkinson's disease, also abbreviated as “PD”, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects a person's nervous system, making them have trouble moving. A human has certain kinds of nerve cells in the brain called dopamine, these cells transmit and send signals to the brain allowing a person to control their movement. When these cells start breaking down and having problems, they cause a person to lose their control of movement, due to the lack of dopamine. PD is not a communicable disease – it…
