Most disorders of nervous system cell involve glia rather than neurons. Multiple sclerosis (MS) one ot the mylein disorders, is a good example of this principle.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that motor neurons receive nerve impulses from the central nervous system causing muscle fibers to contract?
It would be more accurate to say that the neurons transmit the impulses, rather than that they receive them.
Is the efferent neuron the primary function connecting other neurons?
Efferent neurons are responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands. They are involved in transmitting motor commands from the brain to the muscles to produce movement, rather than acting as the primary connector between other neurons.
Why was multiple personality disorder renamed to dissociative identity disorder?
Multiple personality disorder was renamed to dissociative identity disorder to better reflect the understanding that the condition involves a fragmentation or dissociation of identity rather than the presence of multiple separate personalities.
Why do people with AL'S have all of their mental functions and senses intact?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease which affects the motor neurons, rather than the sensory system or the central nervous system.
Which tissue is not a true stratified tissue?
Nervous tissue is not a true stratified tissue. It is composed of neurons and glial cells, and is classified as a specialized type of tissue rather than stratified based on cell layers.
How is reflex handled in the nervous system?
I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
What functional differences are there among sensory motor and associative neurons?
Sensory neurons are specialized to translate many forms of input (light waves, sound waves, tissue displacement, molecules suspended in air or dissolved in saliva, and so on) into action potentials. Motor neurons carry commands to glands and muscles. Association neurons have neither specific sensory nor motor functions, but rather form bridges between the sensory and motor neurons.
Is the endocrine system is made up of organs called neurons that release chemical signals directly into the bloodstream?
No, the endocrine system is not made up of neurons; it consists of glands that release hormones directly into the bloodstream. These glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, produce chemical signals that regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. Neurons are part of the nervous system and transmit signals through electrical impulses, rather than via hormones.
What does salt does for the body?
Sodium (from sodium chloride) is indispensable for life because it is important for:- regulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure- transmission of nervous impulse- correct neurons function
How many neurons were used by Albert Einstein in his life?
Albert Einstein's brain has been extensively studied, since his death, and it does not appear to have an unusual number of neurons. It seems that he just made better use of his neurons, rather than having more of them.
What body system paranoid type schizophrenia is from?
Paranoid type schizophrenia is a mental health disorder that primarily affects the brain and nervous system, rather than a specific body system. It is characterized by symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, which are related to abnormalities in brain function and neurotransmitter imbalances. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication and therapy to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
What is meant by future tense?
A prediction that you will be rather nervous in the near future.
