Nerve

Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system, a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

the Cranial Nerves and their function. Cranial nerves originate from the brain and provide information from the brain to parts of the body. Cranial nerves provide input to both sides of the body. The 12 cranial nerves are as follows: Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory, Cranial Nerve II: Occipital, Cranial Nerve III: Oculomotor, Cranial Nerve IV: Trochlear, Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal, Cranial Nerve VI: Abducens, Cranial Nerve VII: Facial, Cranial Nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear, Cranial Nerve IX: Glossopharyngeal

Benjamin Verhey RCP 251 Guillain-Barre ́syndrome 11/14/14   Guillain-Barre ́syndrome (GBS) was first described in 1916 by Guillain, Barre ́and Strohl as a rapid progressive motor disorder with noted absence of reflexes and elevated levels of cerebrospinal fluid proteins [1]. Research throughout the early twentieth century began to identify varying subtypes and severities of GBS ranging from decreased sensory perception and distal weakness to respiratory paralysis and death in more several instances

The movie Nerve depicts a game similar to truth or dare, but without the truth. When someone joins the game, they participate as either a watcher or a player. Watchers pay to gain access to live broadcasts of players performing dares, and for the ability to suggest dares. Players earn money for each dare they complete successfully, but can lose it all if they fail to complete a dare. The game operates on the dark web, shared with others via a special link and emphasizes not disclosing its operation

The Trochlear Nerve (Cranial Nerve IV) is the longest and thinnest nerve emerging from the central nervous system, more specifically the dorsal aspect of the Midbrain, its nucleus is located just below the Oculomotor Nucleus (Cr. III) at the level of the inferior colliculus, its fibers arc around the periaqueductal grey matter, decussate before exiting the midbrain on its dorsal aspect by piercing the superior medullary vellum, goes around its dorsum, passing between the cerebral peduncles and the

is usually not an emergency. This is most often caused by an athletic exertion. Because the fascia does not stretch, this can cause increase pressure on the capillaries, nerves and muscles in the compartment. The blood flow to the muscle and nerve cells is disrupted. Without a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients, the nerve and muscle cells can be damaged. Compartment syndrome most often occurs in the anterior compartment of the lower leg. But can also be present in other compartments in the

The nerve cells in your foot then react to the ground force and feedback the information to adjust to the force, or the appropriate muscle group. Nerve cells in your legs muscle spindles sense the position on the floor and rely the information to the brain where it is processed and send back where the movement takes place. Interfacing Biomechatronic devices allow the user to connect muscle systems and nerves in order to send and receive information from the

person as he has been before. Below, I explain various ways in which, it tells us that the Alex who returns is not the same person as he was before. The reasons are as follows: since, he has used the tele-transporter a lot during his mission, his body nerve system cells were affected by light speed radiation which, could make him see illusions and which could alter his memories. The second reason which is , that if those cells has been not affected by the

computer screen. Notice that your index finger is extended and your other fingers are curled into your palm. How did your hand know to do that? It all began in your brain, the starting point for an important chain of communication. Your brain ordered nerve cells, to activate

2001). The ganglia are connected to two nerve cords that goes along the entire body (Saló et al. 2001). When light hits the photoreceptor cells, it signals the nerve cells to react and evade the light source (Saló et al. 2001). Due to the simplicity of its eyes, it can only detect light and darkness; it can only live in habitats that are dark. With high
