What tissue is specialized to conduct electrical signals from one structure in the body to another structure?
The nervous system conducts electrical signals from one structure to another. For example from the brain to the muscles for movement.
Can people live without electricity?
No, neural signals in the body are electrical in nature. Without electricity your heart and other muscles would not function.
Connects the brain to the spinal cord?
Nervous Tissue
What does neural mean?
Neural means "of or relating to the nerves, neurons, or nervous system".
What are the cables of the nervous system called?
Information from the peripheral nervous system is carried to the central nervous system by neural cables called nerves. The work groups that neurons cluster into are known as neural networks.
The detection and encoding of stimulus energies by the nervous system is called?
Sensation. This process involves the sensory organs detecting stimuli from the environment and converting them into neural signals that can be processed by the brain.
What is neural coding?
Neural coding refers to the pathways and transformations needed to relay sensory information into the nervous system.
What are neural signals?
Neural Signals are the electrical potential carrying the information to be transmitted between neurons/dendrites. They also initiate chemical stimulation on the synapses to transfer/carry forward the message from/to brain.
How do parts of the nervous system work together?
The nervous systems process information in three stages: sensory input, integration, and motor output to the effector cells. The central nervous system (CNS) integrates information, while the peripheral nervous system (PNS) transmit sensory and motor signals between the CNS and the rest of the body.
What is the purpose of the nervous system and why is sleep important to it's overall function?
The purpose of the nervous system serve as an organisms messenger and command system. Sight, feeling, taste, hearing, smell, pain, and heat are among the signals carried to the brain by nervous activity and pathways. nerves also control motion by signaling to muscles and the heart when to contract; human movement and organ control depend on them. The brain's thinking, cognition, memory and speech are all neural actions as well. Sleep has many theories explaining its purpose, with much evidence indicating its need for renewing neural connections and allowing the body time to heal and grow.
How does the nervous system change?
neural plasticity - neurons can alter their: - dendrite-to-dendrite connections - axon-to-dendrite connections - axon-to-axon connections - neurotransmitter receptor density This allows for the brain to change the way that different neural networks interconnect, and it also allows regulation and modulation of neural signals so that the "weights" between neurons are changed to remodulate those signals. Diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and multiple sclerosis, can also result in demyelination, which results in signal loss along axons.
How does trigger point therapy work?
Trigger point therapy is said to interrupt the neural signals that cause both the trigger point and the pain. The object is to eliminate pain and to reeducate the muscles into pain-free habits.
