At the spinal level, the PNS and CNS are bilaterally symmetrical. And studies have shown that the two sides of the spinal cord are not independent due to the findings that unilateral peripheral nociception results in contralateral responses (Koltzeburg, 1999). The contralateral pain was perceived at a lesser magnitude and has a delayed response. This contralateral pain phenomenon can be attributed to a similar pathway as central sensitization leading to secondary hyperalgesia. Primary…

surface at an angle, the more potential she will have for flips. You can find a gymnast’s angular momentum with the formula: L = (r)(m)(v). By analyzing the equation, you can determine that, while the mass (m) and angular momentum (L) are considered a constant, lowering the distance of the body from the axis of rotation (r), will lead to an increase in velocity (v), this velocity allows for the gymnast to attain the maximum amount of force, leading to more potential for twists and flips while in…

the cell. 2. Resting membrane potential is the difference in voltage of the fluids inside a cell and outside a cell. It is measured by the difference in voltage inside and outside of the cell. 3. On the outside of the resting membrane potential it would remain at 0, however on the inside it dropped the voltage from -70 to -40. This happened because with the increase of K+, there was more K+ to pass through the leak channels, resulting in a lower resting membrane potential. There are less leakage…

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 of dopamine level…

A mousetrap car is a car powered by a mousetrap. It utilizes potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy. Potential energy is a type of energy an object has because of its position. For example, elastic potential energy of a rubber band depends on how far it is pulled back from rest. The farther it is pulled back, the higher its potential energy. Once the rubber band is let go, the potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy, the energy of movement. The held end of the…

However, I believe the ketogenic diet has so much potential and promise in the future of medicine for the reason that it does not come in a pill or a liquid medicine bottle. There is no long list of side effects, risk of overdose, or prescription needed with the ketogenic diet. We have become so attached…

change in stimulus artifact allows the compound action potential (CAP) to appear (Johnson and Byrne, 2003). As it can be seen in the figures there’s a delay in time between the stimulus artifact and CAP, this is the reflection time that CAP takes to move from the initial site at the stimulating electrodes to the recording electrodes (Johnson and Byrne, 2003). CAP, which is a response that had occurred from a graded external action potential…

The difference between nature and nurture is that nature is the idea that behavior is effected by your chemical and gene make up while nurture is the idea that you are a blank slate and your behavior is distinguished by experiments. They both effect behavior is what was discovered. * Dualism is supported by cognitive psychologists such as George A. Miller and Sigmund Freud * Rene Descartes dealt with Monism vs. Dualism & Interactive Dualism * Monism is the belief that the mind…

violently making it difficult to determine when the car reached each location. As the car went through the track, going up into the loops it grew in height, decreasing in kinetic energy while increasing in potential energy. This caused a greater energy loss due to the significant amount of potential energy transferred into kinetic energy. For example, the inverted curve follows after the lowest point in the roller coaster, which increases the height. This acts…
