environment. For mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) are the central circadian clock of our body, which is located in the hypothalamus. Meanwhile, there are peripheral circadian clocks which located in most of our tissues. It is assumed that the peripheral clocks are subordinated to the central circadian clock. The mechanism is that the time cues from the external environment (e.g. light) set the phase in SCN (figure 1). Then, the central pacemaker (SCN) project the circadian rhythm onto…

Synapses are the basic functional units in Central Nervous System (CNS). The synapses enable neuron-to-neuron communication via releasing and uptake of neurotransmitters. The synapse formation is modulated by specialized CNS cell type, glia. The glia modulates neuronal function via synapse formation, modification and elimination and, the glia even affects reorganization of neuronal circuit. Understanding cellular and molecular interactions of these glial cells is of great importance because they…

1 Introduction: Group of persons and individual fleeing persecution have been granting protection by states for centuries; conversely, the refugee regime in the contemporary context is largely the result of the second half of the twentieth century. On like international human rights law, modern refugee law has its roots in the consequences of World War II as well as the refugee crises of the interwar years that preceded it. Enshrined in Article 14(1) of the Universal declaration of Human Rights…

in both size and value; but as the city grew, the natural environment shrunk. And in today’s New York City with its 8.5 million citizens the only green that is left in the city are man-made parks. Frederick Olmstead, who created all 842 acres of Central Park, had amazing foresight into what the city would become. As Abraham Lincoln called for the emancipation of slaves in 1863, Olmstead expanded Lincoln’s vision planned the foundation for what will become the world’s first national park system.…

Doris Lessing states that when one’s body malfunctions or contains chemical imbalances, “It makes you aware of the knife-edge we live on”. In order for the human body to function correctly, the central nervous system, endocrine, and peripheral nervous system must all work together properly. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It’s responsibility is to integrate sensory information and respond appropriately. The separate function for the brain is to coordinate…

claim Young states “polygamous marriage should have a greater claim to legitimacy than same-sex marriage since it is far more rooted in history. But that argument misses a key factor in the cultural shift on same-sex marriage: gender equality as a central value of modern society” (Young). Gay marriage was brought about in hopes of creating gender equality but with the legalization of polygamy there could very well be an unbalance due to one man or woman having many partners of the opposite sex.…

What is the central nervous system? It’s a system which consists of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It gathers information about and reacts to internal and external stimulus. Don’t Shoot the Messenger Much of the CNS is made up of neurons. Each neuron has a cell body, which includes a soma with a nucleus, a nucleolus, a cytoplasm called the perikaryon, and wide branching extensions called dendrites. Dendrites are like antennae which receive signals from other neurons or body cells.…

Fall break at Central Hinds started on a half a day on a Friday through the next Monday. On Friday we had the Homecoming football game. At the game the Homecoming maids came through so all the parents and fans could see how beautiful they were. All the girls got out of their cars and headed start to the football field with their moms to be announced of the intercom. I was not able to watch the girls walk on the field because I went to pick up my favorite family, the Sherers. I met the Sherers at…

or rocks or minerals, but a whole environment that sustains and is sustained by Aboriginal people and their culture. For Indigenous Australians, the land is the core of all spirituality and this relationship and the spirit of 'country' (land) is central to the issues that are important to Indigenous people today. Aboriginals are very attached to the land they live on, because they believe that their ancestors created the land in the Dreamtime. Every tree, rock, leaf and all other natural…
