talks about his wife’s acceptance of her illness and Laura talks about how she keeps a smile on her face. Explanation of Impairment ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, corticospinal tracts, brainstem, and spinal cord (Wijesekra & Leigh, 2009). As a result of the

classic paper. Firstly it was the first paper to directly investigate the functional significance of motor neuron size and was one of a series of five papers published in 1965 linking many different neuromuscular concepts together such as recruitment, usage and motor neuron pool. (cite Amanda paper) Secondly it was the first paper to establish a set of rules that defined orderly recruitment of motor units coined the size principle. This relatively simple and seemingly logical principle was easy to

The topic of touch is approached with many different perspectives. Phillip’s psychoanalytic point of view is that tickling is a common interaction between a child and their parent and that it is an acceptable sensual experience for them. Howes and Classen discuss how tactile relationships between children and their parents went from being acceptable to rare and then back to being a norm. In the scientific perspective, Montagu argues that the touch of a mother early on in a child’s life has a major

Touch or tactile communication is described as “the earliest and probably the most basic form of communication.” (Richmond, 2012, p. 174) From the first handshake between professionals preparing to negotiate the terms of a business deal to the first touch between the newborn and mother to the first kiss between new lovers, touch can send a powerful and memorable message. All know that the five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. However, perhaps few have consciously considered

UltraHaptics: Multi-Point Haptic Feedback above Interactive Surfaces. (Magic in the Air) Mariam Mohamed Abdel Wahab Computer Science Nile University Giza/ Egypt m.abdelwahab@nu.edu.eg Abstract This paper introduces UltraHaptics, a new technology designed to provide multi-point mid-air haptic feedback above an interactive surface. The technology depends on focusing ultrasound to project separated points of haptic feedback through the display and then directly to the user’s bare hands. This

The haemorrhage occurred in the frontal lobe of the brain; the area closest to and impacted by the haemorrhage is the Broca’s area. The Broca’s area is considered the motor speech area, which enables the body to coordinate muscles involved in speech production (Marieb, 2013). Damage to the Broca’s area may result in symptoms that impact the ability to communicate; damage to the area doesn’t affect the ability to decipher language, but presents difficulty for communicating, as it impacts the ability

The somatic nervous system consists of efferent nerves responsible for stimulating muscle contraction, including all the non-sensory neurons connected with skeletal muscles and skin. The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary muscular systems within the body, and also mediates involuntary reflex arcs. Somatic nervous system carry information to the somatic effectors, which are the skeletal muscles. These motor pathways make up the somatic motor division. The somatic nervous system also includes

human body, especially motor neurons. When one wants to buy a snack, and have the convenience of a vending machine it acts in the way just as a motor neuron. A motor neuron is a type of neuron that transfers impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to either a muscle or gland. There are three types of motor neurons, one of them being somatic motor neurons, special visceral motor neurons, and general visceral motor neurons. In our case, we are dealing with somatic motor neurons because the neuron

Question 1 A. The components of the nervous system that are involved in physical sensation are Central Nervous system and Peripheral Nervous System. “The Central Nervous System’s role is to integrate, process, and coordinate sensory and motor commands” (Bartholomew). CNS controls only the spinal cord and the brain. The PNS controls the nervous system outside the spinal cord. The function of PNS is to send “sensory division to the central nervous system to be process” (Bartholomew). B. Sensory impulse

The organs of the nervous system can be divided into two groups. One group consisting of the brain and spinal cord, forms the central nervous system. The other, composed of the nerves ( bundles and axons) that connect the central nervous system to other body parts, is called the peripheral nervous system. Together, these systems provide three general function: sensory, integrative, and motor. The sensory function of the nervous system derives from sensory receptors at the ends of peripheral neurons
