What are the motor and sensory functions of the median nerve? Describe the structure and function of a simple reflex arc in humans. Include a description of the types of neurons and a discussion of the mechanism of the transmission of a nerve impulse. ...
Nerve Impulse:A nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which the nerve cells communicate with each other while transmitting a message from one part of the body to the other. The nerve impulse takes place in the nerve cell called a neuron. Neurons are the structural and functional un...
What is their importance in protecting the brain and how do they affect the medical treatment of the brain? Describe the tissue stages of development. Include information on the embryonic germ layers and what they give rise to. How is a notochord different from a neural tube? Where, ...
Describe the changes in pressure and volume that lead to inspiration. What has the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain? Describe the receptors, stimuli, neural pathways, and brain destinations for vision. Define the inspiration reserve volume (IRV). Describe the...
Describe the structures of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS), along with their neural pathways. Discuss the negative feedback system needed for normal functioning of the Endocrine System. Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous syst...
Sensory neurons are nerve cells that pick-up signals from the external environment to internal electrical impulses. A stimulus triggers this signal and activates the signal to be sent from the external environment to your spinal cord, to then your brain. For example, ...
(a) How are various signals from outside and inside of your body being processed along neural pathways? (b) How does the nervous system control movement?Explain how the innate system a) recognizes pathogens and b) alerts effectors. Use the terms Toll-like receptor and cytokine....
Describe the neural controls of respiration. Explain affective neuroscience and give an example. Write an account how signaling can be terminated at the level of receptors. Briefly describe the following term: Toll-like receptors. Describe how the hypothalamus controls the activity of the posterior pi...
Describe how a neural impulse travels from a sending neuron to a receiving neuron. In your description, be sure to include the parts of a neuron and what happens at the synapse. What will be an ideal response? What brain structure is involved in the formation of myelin? a. neurons b. ...
Describe the flow of information in the nervous system based on input, integration, and output. Discuss the production, flow, and function of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Describe the structures of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS), along with their neural pathways. Discuss the neg...
