Nervous system

condition, diagnostic methods, treatment options, nervous system structures and pathology, and neurotransmitter systems relating to the PTSD disorder. Therefore, the brain matters, it plays a role in behaviors and need to know the level of analysis. The types of of disorders are neurology, psychological disorder and neuropsychological disorder. Neurology is a disorder involving diseases that connect with brain, spine and nerves which body nervous system. The examples are many diseases; one of…

was the nervous system, which was a continuation in the “Cells to Body Systems” unit. The lesson objectives were that the students were to describe (knowledge) how the nervous system works together with all other systems in our bodies and to apply (application) their knowledge of the nervous system as they worked cooperatively to complete the nervous system portion of their body systems poster. The students had previously learned about cells, tissue, organs, and six other body systems. This…

A lot of what makes us up as people consists of neurons. Neurons are responsible for our bodies “communication system.” So much happens within our bodies at such a minuscule amount of time, and learning about the process made me realize how much needs to happen for me to feel a certain way or perform a certain action. In a neuron, it first has to have a certain amount of depolarizing ions for there to be an action potential. When that action potential is reached, charge can be sent through the…

Methamphetamine is a stimulant that affects the Central Nervous System and targets the sympathetic system. Meth can be administered by intranasal or oral use, intravenously, and can also be smoked. Depending on the route of administration the time it takes to affect the body will vary. Eventually the drug gets distributed to the rest of the body via the bloodstream. This stimulant, when abused, can wreak havoc on the brain and body because it increases the synaptic levels of dopamine, serotonin…

of the organism’s nervous system, which results in death. 1 “Malathion was first registered for use in the United States in 1956 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and it is now regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)”.…

analgesic compounds, cannabis is not physically addictive. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that turns the immune system against the body’s own brain and spinal cord which results in disconnect throughout the body. MS is one condition that shows promise of the medical implication of cannabis to treat neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, and overall protection of the central nervous system from demyelination of neurons (Baker, D., Jackson, S. J., & Pryce, G., 2007). As stated by Zajicek…

Drosophila Melanogaster (common fruit fly) is widely used to understand the complex processes involved in genetics and development. The nervous system of Drosophila and vertebrates consists of neurons and glial cells. Glial cells are the most abundant cell type in the nervous system. Glial cells are cells in the central and peripheral nervous system that provide support and protection for neurons, form myelin and provide insulation. In vertebrates, the glial cell subtypes are: astrocytes,…

to the function of nervous system. Also psychiatric disorders of affective or cognitive origin are interpreted as the consequence of a particular pathology of the nervous system. Therefore, neuroscience involves all the different branches of psychology that have the suffix “psych”, as for example psychology, psychiatry, psychopathology. All these specific courses of psychology are linked with the study of the nervous system. There are still some questions about the nervous system and the human…

for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines neuropathic pain as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain can either be central or peripheral. Central neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system, whereas peripheral pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the peripheral somatosensory nervous system (IASP, 2012). The management of neuropathic pain is challenging because many patients have pain that is…

It contains a variety of sedative, tonic and adaptogen herbs that can relieve the immediate symptoms of anxiety and depression, promote restful sleep and strengthen the immune and nervous systems. It also contains many beneficial amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and bioflavonoids. During times of stress, the body has a difficult time keeping up with the demand for some of them. These ingredients all work synergistically…
