Peripheral nervous system

without specifically causing a depolarization or hyperpolarization. They are found in the central nervous system, and they affect certain groups of neurons or effector cells that have the appropriate receptors. However, neuromodulators can be used to treat epilepsy, other pain syndromes and even certain movement disorders. Examples of neuromodulators are as follows; a. Noradrenaline (Noradrenaline system). According to Khetrapal (Hons), noradrenaline acts as a quick modulation of circuits and…

(Bradshaw). The system responsible for its function is the nervous system. The nervous system is the answer in how we communicate, move, feel, sense and control ourselves. There are two main parts in the nervous system that are significant because humans depend so much on them. The two parts are the Central nervous system and the Peripheral Nervous System. The central nervous system possesses two essential parts: the brain and the spinal cord. On the other hand, the Peripheral Nervous system…

This disorder is when someone cannot and never has had the ability to perceive or feel any sort of pain done to their body. People with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain although unable to feel pain, can feel the difference between hot, cold, and dull and sharp, but cannot feel if something is burning them. People with this disorder also have very overt autonomic symptoms, so they tend to show a lot of their actions that are supposed to be involuntary. Congenital Insensitivity is a genetically…

Glial Cell is a non-neuronal cell that maintains homeostasis from myelin and it also provides support and it provides protection from neurons in the central nervous system. Glial cells also provide support and protection for neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Glial cells are known as being in large quantities in the central nervous system. Glial cells are very different form nerve cells. They differ in the way that they do not participate in synaptic interactions and electrical signaling.…

phone to my ear and hear my mother’s voice through the speaker. We talk for a few minutes, and then eventually we say goodbye. I end the call and place the phone back onto my desk. The body system that enables me to successfully complete this phone call is the nervous system (Gade, 2015a). The nervous system is the association among the billions of neurons in the brain, in the spinal cord, and throughout the body. A neuron is a cell that is specialized to receive and transmit information. The…

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…

Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS, is a serious disorder of the nervous system. It occurs when a person’s immune system is not working correctly and attacks the peripheral nervou system. The exact cause unknown, usually occurs after a person has been sick with a virus, such as Zika, the influenza, or Hepatitis. While GBS can affect anyone, males and young adults are at the greatest risk. Symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome vary from person to person, but often, it starts off with tingling in…

The central nervous system is crucial to human function; it consists of the brain, spinal cord and a network of nerves moving to the rest of our body. It controls everything in the body e.g. emotions, senses, responses, reactions, body balance like temperature and heartbeat as well as movement of our muscles and glands. The CNS (Central nervous system) covers the brain and spinal cord where the PNS (Peripheral nervous system) is made up of the nerve fibre’s that branch off from the spinal cord…

limited to their mouth. Human have 5 different types of receptor cells that responds to five primary taste: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. Human are able to interacts with the world through the peripheral nervous systems which uses nerves to connect the body’s sensory organ to the central nervous system. The receptors of taste are found on specialized taste receptor cells. These cells are on the 2,000 to 10,000 taste buds that a normal human has. Two third of the taste buds are located…

First, the nervous system is broken down into two major systems: Central and Peripheral. The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord, and deals with emotion and motor skills. Next, the peripheral nervous system is divided into two sub-systems: the somatic nervous system, which regulates voluntary actions, and the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is linked to involuntary activities. The ANS adjusts internal organ functions.…
