What is the central nervous system made up of?
Comprised of the brain and spinal cord
The nervous system is the key to homeostasis. The nerves are what keep your body in proper working order and all of those nerves stem from your brain through your spinal cord to reach its destination, then the nerves return to the brain the same way. Therefore, if your spine and atlas are out of whack even a little bit the nerves are not transmitting correctly and that causes a lack of homeostasis.
A person may be asystematic for a while or they may experience symptoms that seem completely unrelated because they have no pain along the spinal cord.
For instance, cancer cells do not just appear, they are developed through a lack of communication if you will. Think of it as a computer, when nerve cells "files" cannot reach their destination appropriately the "file" can get corrupt. This corruption then develops abnormalities and dysfunctions. Of course other factors apply to the production of cancer, but a healthy spine is the key to a healthy body.
Another example is tension headaches; these headaches occur due to the atlas being out of place. There are multiple problems that can be helped by having a healthy spine; erectile dysfunction, chronic constipation, sinus infections, otitis media, etc. A healthy spine can also improve a person's attitude or happiness.
What type of organic compound always includes a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino acid always has an amino group and a carboxyl group. The amine group of one amino acid is capable of forming a peptide bond with the carboxyl group of another amino acid.
What is the solubility of cerium oxide?
The solubility of oxides and other ceramic powders depends on what the solution and solvent should be. Temperature is also important. For example one definition of glass says that it is solid solution of natrium oxide, kalium oxide and silicium oxide. many kinds of steel are similarly defined as "interstitial solid solution of carbon in alpha-iron", etc.
As for the solubility of metal oxides in water, it is close to zero. The same for alcohols, ethers, alkanes, etc. The usual way of getting metal oxides into liquids is to mix suspension so fine that the powder will be hard to separate due to the brownian motion and such. Today you may order nano-powder as well.
Now to the point why somebody asked this: the cerium oxide is inert. The point when it becomes interesting is at higher temperatures when it can oxidize carbon for example at temperature much lower than the carbon will usually burn. Another useful property is that it will reduce nitrogen oxides and take the oxygen to form its ceric oxide state. This is used in car catalysts due to good efficiency and favorable price. Yet another use - which can be derived from wikipedia information already is chemical reaction with laughing gas - N2O to form really strong, orange oxidiser (forgot the name). I plan to test it in a rocket engine fuel soon.
Just to note - many combustion processes, whether in furnace, cars, rockets can not be enhanced, taken more power from them, because of the limited speed of reaction. That is where catalysts take place. Ceric oxide can act as a catalyst. When reacted with certain nitrous oxides it can take form of another chemical composition which acts as a strong oxidiser potentially increasing the speed of the reaction even further.
The maximum surface area of ceric oxide nano-powders ranges from 35-70 square meters per gram of the powder. Ordinary polishing powders do not have such large surface area since they are aimed for polishing, not as a catalyst.

Are SSRI enzyme inducers or inhibitors?
The SSRIs can be both CYP450 enzyme inhibitors AND inducers. Inhibitors inhibit the metabolism of drugs, causing the body to have increased levels of that drug. Inducers speed of the metabolism of a drug, causing the body to inactivate/eliminate to a further extent than it normally would. It depends on which SSRI you are talking about. They all have actions on various isoforms of CYP450, but the SSRIs which cause the greatest problems with inhibition/inducing are fluoxetine (Prozac) and paroxetine. (Paxil)
Functional types of neurons:
1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS
2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves
3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS;
located entirely within the CNS
The skin has nerves to detect changes in the external environment. The nerves of the skin can detect heat and cold, pressure, pain, and touch.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
Which antipsychotic is also used for treating intractable hiccups?
Promethazine.
*to memorize: remember the letter "P" for "Promethazine", and "P" for "pruritis"
What is the diagram that includes the brain and the spinal cord?
i mean well of course its the nervous system but really you really think its that wow such a smart pants lets have AA discuttion
What is the harmful effect of genetic engineering?
Well, the bad is that it's a fairly new area, and people aren't really certain about what might happen in the long run from what they do. Something that looks good to start with might end up doing a lot of damage.
What precautions are associated with tricyclic antidepressants?
.Anyone who takes these drugs should not drive, use machines or do anything else that might be dangerous until they have found out how the drugs affect them.tell the health care professional in charge before having any surgical or dental procedures.
Mechanism of neurohumoral transmission in ans?
1)synthesis and storage of transmitter
2)release of transmitter
3) Combination of transmitter with postjunctional receptors and production of postjunctional potential and initiation of postjunctional activity
4)destruction or dissipation of transmitter
hope this is helpful
What is the drug of choice in treating fungal meningitis caused by Cryptococcus neoforman?
Amphotericin B.
We can combine this Amphotericin B with Flucystosine or Fluconazole to get a synergistic effect.
Does marijuana negate the effects of Vyvanse?
I do, and so far so good, I would like to know if it has any interactions, though, I am not being very smart about it for not knowing first. IMHO, I think the Vyvanse is bad for an adult if used long term, I think it would have to start messing with the ole ticker. If you had to give one of the two up, I would quit the Vyvanse. There are about 1,000 years of history with the other, not so much, for this here cocktail of God knows what. However, no doctor will tell you that, they seem to all personally benefit from specifying brands. I bet a lot of them go home to a little bag of sunshine every night and never touch any other meds...
Is it true that methampetamine hydro cloride is considered a brain transmitter?
One of the defining properties of a neurotransmitter is that is must be synthesized in the neuron. The brain does not synthesize methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is introduced exogenously and exerts its effects on a neurotranmitter system called the 'adrenergic system'. Methamphetamine also has a direct effect on dopamine transmission. The drug, like its parent structure (amphetamine) causes a release of dopamine through reuptake transporters (DATs), which have been modulated to reverse their normal function as a consequence of binding this drug. This rush of dopamine is what gives rise to many of the euphoric (hedonic) as well as addictive properties of this drug. So infact it is acting as an indirect neurotransmitter, but is not an endogenous (normally produced and supplied in the body) molecule.
Which neurotransmitter do many antidepressants change the activity of?
The most common antidepressants prescribed today come under a class of neuroactive drugs called 'selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors', or SSRIs for short. These include: Citalopram (Celexa), Fluoxetine (Prozac), Fluvoxamine (Luvox), Paroxetine (Paxil), Sertraline (Zoloft) and Venlafaxine (Effexor).
The primary mechanism of action for SSRIs to modify the way serotonin gets taken back up at the synapse. Not all SSRIs work on boosting serotonin levels though. Some like Venlafaxine also increase the amount of noradrenaline available at the synapse.
Older antidepressants like Clomipramine (Anafranil), referred to as 'trycyclic antidepressants', work primarily by inhibiting the reuptake of noradrenaline; although like some SSRIs, their selectively is never absolute, so they also have some effect on serotonin and dopamine reuptake too.
Atypical depressants like Bupropion (Wellbutrin) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors like Phenelzine (Nardil) also exert their effects via manipulating serotonin/noradreneline/dopamine levels.
Although each class differs subtly in their mechanism of action and specificity, they all essentially work to boost biogenic amine levels in the brain (i.e., serotonin and/or dopamaine and/or noradrenaline).
And then there is something like 5-HTP which is more effective then any of the SSRI's or Trycyclic antidepressants for the simple reason that 5-HTP actually helps to create more serotonine (5-HTP is the direct precursor for serotonine).
Which antidepressant that is also used to treat nocturnal enuresis in children?
Imipramine (a Tricyclic antidepressant)
What kind of groups can you get with a Remington 11-87 Premier Cantilever 12ga slug gun?
I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 11-87 SPORTSMAN WITH THE CANTILEVERED SLUG BARREL,IT'S THE SAME GUN AS THE PREMIER EXCEPT MATTE BLACK AND ABOUT 100 BUCKS LESS. I AM SET UP WITH A NIKON PROSTAFF 2-7X SCOPE. ONCE I GOT ON THE PAPER AT 50 YARDS, I WAS ABLE TO DIAL IN FOR A DELIBERATE 1.5" HIGH HIT USING THE LIGHTFIELD HYBRID EXP 2 3/4" SABOT.I THEN PUT 1 MORE ROUND WITHIN A 1/2 INCH OF IT. AT 100 YARDS I HAD AN OFFICIAL 100 YD. MILITARY STYLE TARGET WITH A 6" BULL. ASSUMING THAT I WOULD HIT LOW,I HELD ON AT 12 O'CLOCK AND HIT 1" TO THE LEFT AND ABOUT A 1/2" LOW. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY BENCHED AND WITH THE MOST DELICATE SQUEEZE I COULD MUSTER.I THEN DECIDED TO HOLD ON THE CENTER AND SEE WHERE IT WOULD HIT SINCE I WAS SO CLOSE TO MY POINT OF AIM ON THE FIRST SHOT. TO MY AMAZEMENT I TOOK THE X OUT OF THE CENTER.FURTHER SHOOTING REVEALED THE SLUG GUN I ALWAYS WANTED,VERY ACCURATE. ENJOY IT, I LOVE MINE.
Tricyclic antidepressants should not be given together with?
Tricyclic are a family of antidepressants that were given to people before the SSRI. Often psychiatrists prescribe a tricyclic and a newer anti-depressant usually a selective serotonin Inhibitor or a serotonin Norefenefphan selective inhibitor. Your doctor can usual decide what is safe
What are examples of photosynthesis?
An example of photoshynthesis is in plants, which are the only organism that can do this system. It's a way for them to get food by the sunlight, which they take in and convert into energy for them.
