Sensory system

which help explain the cause of various existing neurological and psychiatric diseases (Kotter, 2001). Consequently, the histological study of the nervous system and its components which underlies the understanding of the brain forms the basis and foundation of neuroscientific research (Annese, 2012). Important components of the nervous system include the spinal cord which consists of the grey matter with a butterfly appearance containing ventral and dorsal horns and a central canal as well as…

Making it possible for skilled movements. The cerebellum likewise works with smooth muscle coordinates constrictions of skeletal muscles, regulates stance and balance, and may have a part in cognition and language. The diencephalon transfers all sensory info to cerebral cortex. It additionally it adds to motor skills and functions by transmitting data from cerebellum and basal nuclei to essential motor regions of the cerebral cortex. Furthermore, it helps with support of awareness. With the…

more importantly it regulates the amount of the light that enters the eye. The amount of light is determined by the size of the pupil. The pupil is dark, distinguished central spot regulated by iris muscle fibres that are part of autonomic nervous system. When light enters through the pupil, the iris acts like a diaphragm of a camera. In darkness, when light is insufficient to see properly, the iris contracts and allow the pupil to become dilated in order to accept more light. In contrast, in…

Consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, the central nervous system is one of the three parts of the nervous system in human body. This system is responsible for information and action processing. It coordinates the response to a stimulus by integrating sensory information and responding properly in the environment. The brain, as the control center of human body, interprets the sensory information (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) from all parts of the body. On the other hand, the…

Listening to music you love can provoke the four major lobes in your brain, which are the auditory cortex, responsible for sound frequencies, the cerebrum responsible for memory, cerebellum responsible for reflex and muscle movement, and the limbic systems that reacts emotionally when we listen to music.With all four lobes in action we are aroused and our mood changes. When listening to a high tempo song it can precipitate memories of amusement that have occurred in the past, making you more…

Parkinson’s Disease Briana Rogers Denver School of Nursing Abstract This paper will discuss Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The pathophysiology, assessment findings, and treatments/diagnoses will be explored. PD is a chronic disease that affects the way your body moves, causing uncontrollable movements. The pathophysiology of PD is idiopathic (having no known cause), but symptoms are known to indicate the disease. We know what happens when PD invades the brain, but we don’t know why. PD is caused…

about the mind/body problem in class, I really took to the monism perspectives. I believed that the mind and the nervous system are not different. I just did not understand how the mind could not be connected to the nervous system. I pictured the mind and the body as one sphere and not two totally different spheres, as dualists would argue saying that the mind and the nervous system are different. However, when reading Oliver Sack’s different tales/cases, I realized different instances where…

• Question #1: What is classical conditioning? Please briefly explain the process of how it occurs. What are two examples of a teacher using it in a classroom? (pg. 102) Scientist Pavlov discovered classical conditioning. Classical conditioning is the process that happens when a natural response happens to a conditioned stimuli. Before conditioning, there is an unconditioned stimulus with an unconditioned response and a neutral stimuli with no response. Then, the neutral stimuli is paired with…

(FOP) are both disorders that affect a certain bodily System. Bodily Disorders can upset homeostasis and cause problems with even the most normal functions that the body performs. EL and FOP are two such disorders that can wreak havoc on the body and severely inhibit a person's ability to function regularly. Encephalitis Lethargica and Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva are disorders of the Nervous System and Skeletal System, respectively. The earliest recorded…

platelet activation, and immune cells production of cytokine are regulated by the neuroendocrine molecules and autonomous nervous system. These results…
