6) The monoamine theory of depression foresees the underlying pathophysiologic source for depression is the diminution of levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine within the central nervous system (National Center for Biotechnology Information). Indication for this hypothesis is sustained with clinical trials and animal testing. Barchas, J., and Altemus, M. (1999) Monoamine Hypotheses of Mood Disorders Retrieved from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK28257/ 7) NOT DONE 8) The…

For example, some drugs can be used to treat Parkinson’s disease because the mechanism of synaptic signaling has been discovered and scientists can directly apply those drugs in order to fix any abnormality in the progress of cell signaling. One of the potential causes of Parkinson’s disease is the shortage of dopamine. That’s why dopamine agonists are used to treat some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Taking those medications are efficient way to increase the concentration…

a body part(s).The nervous system is made up of two parts- the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is a system outside the brain and spinal cord and it connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body. The central nervous system controls the activities of the body, meaning that it makes all the decisions; this incorporates the brain and spinal cord. I found the peripheral nervous system the most interesting since part of it comes…

Tamara Goins-Antonelli College-Procedure II-Week 3-Research-Deb Merry-Instructor 1. What are some of the differences between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)? Discuss the activities the nervous system is responsible for. In my research about the differences of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system is that the central nervous system, also known as CNS, controls the entire body. The central nervous system deals with the brain and…

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 central functions it becomes much simpler. One integral part of the nervous system is the peripheral nervous system. This structure is full of microscopic craniospinal nerves. These specific nerves are little tree like branches connected to and from the brain and spinal cord…

I am Thalamus according Scholapedia, am a small part of the brain located between in the middle and the center of the brain and I’m connected to the cerebral cortex and the midbrain thru nerves. I have many functions, but my main function is to regulate the voluntary motor control, the consciousness whether a person is asleep or awake (the sleep cycle), sight, sound, taste, and touch. I’m composed of 3 different groups of cells; the sensory relay cell or nuclei which receive sensation or…

The human body is a phenomenal system that is skilled in working with a handful of diverse thought functions. For example, neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They interact with one another from the nervous system to transmit messages throughout the body, as well as sensory information. In fact, neurons change from different size and shape. The nervous system contain three separate functioning components: the sensory division, the motor division, and the interneurons. First,…

Central Nervous System (CNS) and it is found in the brain all the way down the spinal cord. The CNS is the part that receives the impulses and reacts to the impulses accordingly. The second part is the peripheral nervous system and it is found under the skin and allows for movement in the muscles. Peripheral nervous system has 2 parts to it • Sensory Neurons: o These are neurons that…

The light touch of the setter’s hands on the ball grabs my attention. As the ball comes flying toward the hitter I can see their body is aimed toward me. I focus on watching the ball, attempting to get as much information as I can by watching its arced path. I can see that the ball was set inside, and my eyes integrate this information causing my body moves to the left without my direct mental input. Automatically my heartbeat becomes faster, as I throw my hands together to pass the volleyball.…

replies to changes in the body, evaluates request information, begins and implements all bodily activity, and preserves “homeostasis” in the body. An organism nervous system is separated into two systems: the “central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).” The brain and the spinal cord is a part of the CNS. The PNS is made of into the “somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system,” these two areas are separated into the “sympathetic nervous system and the…
