Causes & Types of Brain Damage
The brain is a highly specialized tissue, far more complex than today’s 21st century supercomputers. Because of this incredible complexity, even minor damage can have extreme consequences. Causes of brain damageThe brain can be damaged in a variety of ways, and depending on the areas affected and the severity of the damage, it can be…

Central Nervous System(CNS)
Myelin sheathMyelin is a substance that forms the myelin sheath associated with nerve cells. This sheath is a layer of phospholipids that increases the conductivity of electrical messages sent by the cell. Diseases such as multiple sclerosis result from the loss of this myelin sheath, the effect of which is that the conduction of signals…

Conscious And Unconscious Nervous System
The central nervous system is the most important part of the body because it controls our body’s biological processes and all conscious thought. Because of their importance, they are securely encased within the bones, meaning the brain protects the cranium and the spinal cord. Brain Divisions There are three main components of the brain, namely…

Human Nervous System
The nervous system is essentially a biological information highway, and is responsible for controlling all biological processes and movements in the body, and can receive information and interpret it through electrical signals. I use! It consists of the Central Nervous System (CNS), essentially the processing area and the Peripheral Nervous System which detects and sends…

What Is Water
Water is the most common molecule in the human body (~98-99%). Both hydrogen atoms are attached to a single oxygen atom through polar bonds. The oxygen has a slight negative charge and each of the hydrogen atoms has a slight positive charge. This allows hydrogen bonds to form between the positive hydrogen atoms and the…

What Is Bond
Atoms form molecules when two or more are bonded together. Covalent bonds are formed when electrons in the outermost orbital are shared between two atoms. With this type of bond forming, molecules can rotate around their shared electrons and change shapes. Each atom forms a characteristic number of covalent bonds. The number of bonds depends…

What Are Atoms
An atom is the smallest unit of matter with unique chemical properties. Atoms are the chemical units of cell structure. They consist of a central nucleus with protons and neutrons and orbit(s) of electrons. A proton carries a +1 positive charge, while a neutron has no charge. Thus the nucleus has a net positive charge.…

What Is Chemical Composition Of Body
To fully understand the mechanisms of human physiology, it is important to understand the chemical composition of the body. This will come in handy when considering various interactions between cells and structures. We will cover basic chemistry; However, if there are specific questions regarding the chemistry and its effects on biological function.

Evolution
A component of all extant life is that it adapts to survive. You either adapt or you are already adapted. If species did not have this innate nature through their genetic information, then they would have no desire to survive as a species. Although the life above was reproducing successfully, the economies of scale involving…

Amino Acids & Proteins
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and thus the building blocks of life. The complex organisms of today harness the biological power of proteins in a variety of ways, such as the use of enzymes as a catalyst. (See Protein Variety and also Protein Synthesis)
