According to Brains Basic (n.d), neurons (nuerones) form the fundamental “data processing units” or the 'chips' of the brain. Neurons get “electrical inputs” from nearly one thousand different neurons. These impulses arrive at the same time, and when combined, they become 'nerve impulse'. This impulse then creates a reaction in the next “neuron” in the system. Neurons react to conduct and stimuli because a probable membrane is formed across the membrane in the cell. It can be noted that the neurons are emotional cells that are present within the body’s nervous system. It serves to “process and transmit ...

Part 1a: Imagine you are being chased through the woods by a hungry bear. Which nervous system would engage? (parasympathetic or sympathetic) Why is this?

Someone being chased through the woods by a hungry bear will have his or her sympathetic nervous system being engaged in the flight. This second type of autonomic nervous system tagged sympathetic will be responsible for the control of many homeostatic mechanisms that will help the person to flit away from the hungry bear. The mechanism is that of the sympatho-adrenal response of the body. The interconnected neurons of the SNS are ...

- The human nervous system may be categorized into two divisions namely PNS and CNS. The nervous system has three broad functions which include sensing changes in the body as well as within outside environment; interpreting changes as well as establishing suitable response depending on reflexes, current conditions and experiences; and responding to interpretation through initiating action by glandular secretions (Paxinos, 2010). The PNS link the spinal cord and brain with receptors, glands, and muscles.

1. What is biological psychology?

Biological psychology is the study of psychology of psychology is three different ways. The first way is the comparative method. The comparative method is when a variety of animal species are studied and compared to each other. The second way is physiology. Physiology is how the nervous system and hormones work, how changes in structure affect behavior, and how the brain functions. The third way is investigation of inheritance. Investigation of inheritance is what an animal is going to inherit from their parents.

EMOTIONAL STIMULUS

Nervousness is one of the emotional reactions that happen to people, in most cases, when exposed to an attention-demanding stimulus. One of these stimuli, for example, includes an interview. Interviews are attention-seeking, as well as brain-involving activities, which failing or passing leads to various outcomes (Goldstein, 2010). In this case, therefore, the human mind is designed to responding with nervousness, in case of an interview. At the same time, cognitive memory plays a major role in the same.

For instance, a person who has severally failed in previous interviews is likely to get more nervous compared to those who ...

Introduction

The CNS is a connection of nerves which executes control over the mind and most of the body functions. It is made up of two parts which are the brain and a spinal cord. The brain forms the core of our thoughts by interpreting what lies within our external environment. Majority of the movements made by the body originate from the brain. It coordinates those movements and ensures that they are well executed to enable human beings to carry out their daily duties. Information which originates from body organs like the eyes, nose and the ears is interpreted by ...

The Central Nervous System is the control system of the human body; it is the core of the human nervous system. The Central Nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The brain uses the electrical signal, which is generated by the Central Nervous System. These electrical signals travel via the Peripheral Nervous System effector cells. These effector cells carry out physiological responses whenever the brain demands it. Axonal regeneration occurs successfully in the Peripheral Nervous System. However, regenerative axonal growth starts occurring in the Central Nervous System too, but stops two weeks after the ...

The nervous system can be divided into two groups: the central nervous system (CNS), which comprises of the brain the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the nerves. Nervous tissue consists of two types of cells: the nerve cells and supporting glial cells (or simply glia). Glia have different types and outnumber nerve cells. In the CNS, astrocytes provide structural support for neurons, regulate the extracellular concentrations of neurotransmitters and ions, and facilitate information transfer at synapses. Radial glia is critical in the development of the nervous system. Both astrocytes and radial glia can ...

In humans and animals, sleep and rhythmic vivacity replace each other. However, to understand the extent, to which sleep is necessary for the functioning of the body, it is necessary to consider the fact that total sleep deprivation of people and animals carries much heavier consequences than starvation. What is sleep? How it arises and why there is such a big need for it? Many scientists tried to answer this question. French researchers Legendre and Pieron in 1910 conducted experiments, from which they concluded: the cause of sleep - accumulation in the blood during the day of hypnotoxin or ...

A television documentary by PBS called “Inside the Teenage Brain” describes teenage behavior from the neurosciences point of view. The main theme revolves around the observation that teenagers are not yet adults but not quite children, and the state of their developing brain determines part of their behavior. Through state-of-art imaging techniques, the documentary shows how researchers study the teenager brain. Adolescence is proposed as a phase in normal child development. Scientists compare the teenage brain to that of babies, because both periods involve fast brain developing, especially in the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC). During this time, gray matter thickens ...

Blood Pressure, Hypertension and the Nervous System

Cardiovascular activities within the human body are generally facilitated by the regulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic afferent and efferent nerve fibers. Blood pressure is the relationship between the vascular resistance and the amount of blood that the heart pumps per minute (i.e. cardiac output). Cardiac output is affected by the following factors: end-diastolic volume, cardiac muscle contraction, and heart rate. While the sympathetic nervous system controls the blood volume and the tone of venous smooth muscle (determinants of end-diastolic volume) alone, the myocardial contraction and heart rate is controlled by both sympathetic and parasympathetic regions of the autonomic ...

Psychoneuroimmunology works on the bases of nervous system and its connection with immune system. Placebo effects work on the similar concept of inducing the effect on the nervous system. It stimulates the immune system to counteract the disease. The difference between both modalities is that in PNI, the use of pharmacology, medicine, psychiatry is used to derive a specific outcome from the patient. In case of placebo, there is no outcome. It has no effect on the condition. It acts by misdirecting the nervous system and immune system. So, in a way, both modes of treatment have a certain ...

Introduction

Psychology was in its rudimentary form in the early nineteenth century. It was just beginning to separate its own identity from the discipline of Philosophy. Various concurrent developments were happening in Europe and the US. Major advancements were initiated by Germen psychologists Wilhelm Wundt and others, who believed in experiments as a way to develop theories by actively interfering in the natural phenomenon. A few decades before Wundt established a laboratory for psychology, rapid strides in understanding of the nervous system was happening. By 1830s, human physiology was turning into an experimental discipline from being a descriptive science. The ...
