Essays on Nervous System

Beta Blockers and the Sympathetic Nervous System Beta blockers are medications that modify the normal processes of the sympathetic nervous system by lowering cardiac activity and tension. The sympathetic nervous system in the human body is in charge of activating the autonomous nervous system, popularly known as the fight or flight...

The Nervous System The nervous system is the network of nerves and other cells that controls and coordinates your body's activities. It uses electrical and chemical means to help all parts of your body communicate with each other, and to react to changes both inside and outside of your body.Nerves and...

Receptor Neuron in the Peripheral Nervous System that Transmits Information from a Burned Finger Human skin contains a broad sensory receptor that alerts a person to the present outside temperature, pressure, discomfort, and any light touches. All the way to the neurological system, these neurons transmit the information they get from...

Listeria-contaminated food and listeriosis Listeria-contaminated food is the main cause of listeriosis, a condition that can develop. A rod-shaped, gram-positive form of Listeria bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes is what causes the infection. The human central nervous system is particularly susceptible to the bacterium. The ideal temperature for cell division is 37...

Parkinson's disease is a brain ailment where a neurodegenerative problem primarily damages neurons generating dopamine in the significant region of the brain, resulting in stiffness or slowing down of movement, overall brain damage, and uncontrollable shaking of body parts (Westenberger scientists have only come up with ways of...

The endocrine system is a self-regulating system made up of glands that generate hormones that control the body's metabolism, the way tissues work, how body cells excrete waste, how cells develop and grow, and how cells reproduce. The body's endocrine system reacts to biochemical stimuli by secreting hormones into the...

This report provides information on a free, full-text paper titled "an anatomical investigation of pig peripheral nerve and its potential utility in nerve tissue engineering." The peripheral nervous system, which links the central nervous system to the rest of the body, is made up of neurons and nerve fibers. Aranyosi...

The General Sensory Receptor The general sensory receptor, which is found in the skin, is the receptor neuron in charge of relaying information from Amy's finger to her peripheral nervous system. It is in charge of identifying environmental changes that the body is exposed to, such as temperature, touch, and pain,...

The Term "Tay-Sachs Disease" The term "Tay-Sachs disease" refers to a hereditary condition caused by the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. In specifically, a gene mutation in the HEXA genes, which are located on chromosome 15, causes Tay-Sach illness (Hussein, Weng, Kai, Kleijnen & Qureshi, 2015).Autosomal...
