Peripheral nervous system

The nervous system is the system in our bodies that transmits signals to and from various parts of the body. It helps control the body and somewhat connects the body together. The nervous system is key to communication with all the parts of the body. Without the nervous system, people would not be able to perform certain functions in the body or be able to sense when things are dangerous. The nervous system is composed of primarily two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous…

The body is made up of many systems working together as a whole and the most significant one is the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for making sure the rest of the body does what it needs and without this elaborate electrical system the body would have no meaning. There are many components to this beautiful labyrinth of nerves that allows us to be the marvelous humans we are. This system is complicated in itself but broken down into its peripheral, somatic, autonomic, and…

Therefore, the brain and the entire nervous system are crucial in providing information on disease symptoms to physicians and thus assist in diagnosis. This paper aims to discuss the composition of the neuroanatomy and its importance in the diagnosis of diseases. Neuroanatomy involves the study of body anatomy and how the nervous system is organized. The nervous system differs depending on the animal’s symmetry and as such vertebrates have a segregated nervous system consisting of the internal…

answering your phone may sound simple, there are many activities and processes that are occurring in your body to make answering your phone possible. One primary human body system that collects stimulus and impulses which channel them throughout the body to allow a response to occur is called the nervous system. The nervous system has many unique cells, about 100 billion, called…

Retina is apart of the Central Nervous System. The Retina is how people are nearsighted they can see they can see near objects, but they can’t focus enough to see far. Farsightedness or being farsighted is when you see far, but you can’t see near objects clearly. The 130 receptor cells are also known as rods and cones. The Central Nervous System is apart of the Nervous System, but the Central Nervous System makes up the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The Nervous System is a collection of…

of the nervous system. Reading through the section of what brains are like, it was interesting the difference between the Central nervous system and the Peripheral nervous system. The Central nervous system only consists of the brain and the spinal cord, but the Peripheral nervous system consists of motor and sensory neurons that connect the brain and the spinal cord to the rest of the body such as sensory organs, muscles, and body organs. Although all vertebrates possess a Central nervous…

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…

complex and made up of various systems and organs that must work together. When one part does not function the way it is suppose to, it can slow down the functions of the other parts, which can be detrimental . A quote by Doris Lessing states that when one’s body malfunctions or contains chemical imbalances, “It makes you aware of the knife-edge we live on”. In order for the human body to function correctly, the central nervous system, endocrine, and peripheral nervous system must all work…

mechanism in the nervous system. In contrast to the neuromatrix pain theory, the pain gate theory offers another explanation…

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,…
