The nervous system is your body's decision and communication center. The central nervous system (CNS) is made of the brain and the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made of nerves. Together they control every part of your daily life, from breathing and blinking to helping you memorize facts for a test. Nerves reach from your brain to your face, ears, eyes, nose, and spinal cord... and from the spinal cord to the rest of your body. Sensory nerves gather information from the environment, send that info to the spinal cord, which then speed the message to the brain. The brain then makes sense of that message and fires off a response. Motor neurons deliver the instructions from the brain to the rest of your body. The spinal cord, made of a bundle of nerves running up and down the spine, is similar to a superhighway, speeding messages to and from the brain at every second.
The brain is made of three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus (part of the limbic system). The midbrain consists of the tectum and tegmentum. The hindbrain is made of the cerebellum, pons and medulla. Often the midbrain, pons, and medulla are referred to together as the brainstem.

Do electrolytes make you go to the bathroom?
No, liquids make you urinate. Electrolytes are just ions that your brain and nerve cells use to communicate with each other.
What do like charged ions do?
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
If a metal loses electrons to a non metal during a chemical reaction the metal and non metal become ions What is the charge on the different ions and why are the ions held together?
The charge on each of the ions formed depends on the specific elements involved. The ions are then held together by the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) (called an ionic bond).
What kind of ions are attracted to each other?
These are positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions).
What is the movement of ions towards ions with an opposing charge?
oppositely charged ions attact each other.
Four ions that cross through ion channels?
selectively it can be any thing from: Positively charged ions Negatively chaged ions specific ion such as sodium OR chloride. There may be more specific things, but this is what I got from my Biochem Lecutues
Why do sodium ions and chloride ions attract each other?
Because they have opposite electrical charges.
Why the sodium chloride have a different conductivity value than calcium chloride?
Each ion in a fully dissociating solute salt, such as the two chlorides stated in the question, has its own specific conductance. Calcium ions are divalent while sodium ions are monovalent, and divalent ions usually have a specific conductance large enough to more than make up for the fact that there are only half as many of them for a given amount of chloride as in the chlorides of monovalent cations.
What is the formula of each of the ions in magnesium fluoride?
uyyy
What is the reason for colour in chemical compounds?
because the ions involved are of specific colors.
What is the structure of a ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed by ions of opposite charges in a regular lattice. Each positive ion has negative ions as its nearest neighbours and each negative ion has positive ions as its near neighbors. In a crystal like NaCl every ion has 6m ions of opposite around it. The form the lattice takes depends on the relative sizes of the ions and the ratio of positive to negative ions.
What ions most closely surround each chlorine ion?
positively charged cations surround each chlorine ion the most closely
