Pineal gland

The Endocrine System is considered to be an integrative system because the hormones which are produced by this system act at the distance, many of those substances act in the different organs. The endocrine system and nervous system work together to coordinate functions of all systems in human body, they are responsible for maintaining the internal environment, nearly all physiological processes are affected by the hormones. They regulate almost all body function starting from metabolism, grow…

information while the endocrine system involves the glands and secretes hormones throughout the body. The 4 systems to be discussed all work together to ensure the human body maintains life. The physiology of these systems and major conditions, which affect these systems, will be discussed in this paper. By examining particular conditions associated with these systems a better understanding of physical…

the Lilim as the Evangelions are the highest forms of life on the planet besides Adam and Lilith. Throne of the soul, or the seat of the soul, is a term Descartes coined to describe the pineal gland which he believed to be the place where the soul intersects the body. In more modern New Age thought the pineal gland is usually said to be the manifestation of the anja chakra, also known as the third eye or mind's eye. See this external link for more information. Who is this? This is me. これは誰？これは私。…

Overall, from examining the brain from a three-dimensional stand point, I have learned a plethora of information to help me better understand the different capabilities my own brain has. Beginning with the cerebrum, I learned that this area mostly controls posture, balance, and coordination primarily in already learned, physical skills. A great example for better understanding of this area would be learning a dance. At first, one will not be capable of having the proper posture with each move,…

to have quick speed and agility. The cardiovascular and circulatory system of a dog pushes the blood around the body with oxygen and nutrients for the cells and removes waste. “This includes a four chambered heart, arteries, veins, and lymphatic glands and vessels” (“Canine Physiology”). The circulation of blood provides the dog's body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from it. Oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood circulate…

senses, (smell, touch, see, taste, and hear.) http://study.com/academy/lesson/sensory-neurons-definition-function-quiz.html A motor neuron does the complete opposite of the sensory neurons. A motor neuron signal goes from your brain to your muscles or glands, example is your motor neurons tell your hand to open a door to walk out. http://www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us/LilburnES/PromoteGA/biochemistry/Neurons_types.html An interneuron is what connects neurons in the spinal cord and brain so they can…

mind being immaterial. A problem arises however, when the body and the mind are defined as being completely different in attributes. Namely, how does one exert influence over the other when they share no common connector? Descartes credits the pineal gland for the contacts between mind and body, which has been proven false. The larger problem however, is not the location of the interaction, but rather how it can occur in the first place. Followers of Cartesian dualism have often cited the…

Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter and paracrine signalling molecule in all bilateral animals, where it mediates gut movements and the animal's perceptions of resource availability. 5-HT was found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS) [1] [2]. Approximately 90% of 5-HT in the human body is synthesized and released in the GI tract, and the remainder is synthesized in serotonergic neurons of the CNS. 5-HT is synthesized from…

patient was referred to our institution for further evaluation of blurred optic disc margins bilaterally noted on a routine eye exam. Of note, he had a past medical history relevant for abdominal migraines and a 9 millimeter in diameter complex pineal cystic gland, incidentally found at age 5 and being followed by Neurosurgery with no interval changes over the past year. On initial exam his best-corrected visual acuity (BCVa) was 20/30 in both eyes (OU) with no afferent pupillary defect. Color…

They are two distinct things, but they cannot be physically separated therefore they make a human being, he argues. However, the mind is affected by the body. The soul is not a principle of life. The soul moves and feels in the body directly. The pineal gland allows the mind…
