Parietal lobe

Johan Cuevas Yasmine Ouchikh PSY 10200 February 25, 2016 1. The drug that Harry abuses is a hallucinogens. Hallucinogens are drugs that alter the person's consciousness and arouse the senses in different ways. They can create hallucinations and make the person taking the drug very hungry. One effect of a hallucinogen is that it can increase the way the person perceive sounds, making music sound better than how it did before the “high”. Harry is not abusing a depressant because a depressant…

The primary body system involved with schizophrenia and depression is the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. Within the nervous system, the CNS is the integration and control centre. Through communicating cells named neurons, the CNS interprets sensory input and generates motor output (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013). Neurons are cells that are specialised for rapid communication. Communication between neurons occurs at junctional points, or synapses. (Kiernan &…

information, remembering data and processing it as quickly as 11 million bits per second (The Human Brain). The brain is a very copious system created with four lobes which control emotions, thoughts, skills, memory and actions. To begin with, the brain is divided into four separate lobes, the Occipital, Temporal, Parietal, and Frontal lobes (Parts of the Brain). The Occipital…

1. Distinguish between afferent and efferent nerves. Afferent nerves are the sensory nerves. They carry information from the world to the brain and spinal cord. Efferent nerves are the motor nerves they carry information out of the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body. Afferent nerves take in information and efferent nerves carry out information. 2. Study Figure 2.1. What makes up the Central Nervous System (CNS)? The central nervous system is made up of the brain and…

believed (Konrad et al. 2013). The brain consists of the frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, cerebellum, and the corpus callosum. The frontal lobe and the prefrontal cortex are under development during adolescence. It is located in the frontal and upper area of the cortex. This division develops slowly and is the last part of the brain to mature at about 24 years of age. The frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex are responsible for thinking,…

The subpleural lymphatics run beneath the lung surface, mostly over the lower lobes, toward the hilum in order to anastomose with the lymphatics of the deep plexus there (Schraufnagel, 2010). While the superficial plexus drains the visceral pleura and adjacent layer of subpleural tissues the remaining parts of the lung is drained…

The human brain weighs 3 pounds, uses 20% of the daily resources consumed, and is divided into 4 distinct lobes: the Temporal lobe, the Parietal lobe, the Occipital lobe, and the Frontal lobe. The Frontal lobe is responsible for the functions we usually connect the brain to, such as thinking, decision making, planning, and behavior. When a child is young, their frontal lobe is under major developments, and certain actions they carry out are rewarded or punished by the parents, like drawing on…

The most extensively discussed theory of ADHD focuses on deficits in executive functioning. Barkley (2012) proposes that “self regulation requires the ability is responsible for the ability to inhibit a behavioral response, and that four other executive functions are dependent upon this for their own effective execution” (Mash & Barkley, 2014). The other executive functions include working memory, problem solving, planning, and attention (Barkley, 2012). Based off of Barkley’s theory, the…

1. Anatomy of the trachea and bronchi. The trachea (Fig.1) is a cartilaginous and membranous tube, extending from the lower part of the larynx, on a level with the sixth cervical vertebra, to the upper border of the fifth thoracic vertebra, where it divides into two main bronchi, one for each lung. The trachea is nearly but not quite cylindrical, being flattened posteriorly; it measures about 11 cm. in length; its diameter, from side to side, is from 2 to 2.5 cm., being always greater in…

The brain areas associated with attention are the prefrontal cortex and the parietal lobe [5]. More specifically, wilful concentration is linked to the prefrontal cortex which is the frontmost part of the brain [5] and sudden attention is related to the area just behind the ears - the parietal lobe [5]. Scientists have discovered that those two areas have different speed of the rate that neurons emit pulses of electricity. The prefrontal…
