How The Human Nervous System Works ?
|
The chemical working of the brain is dependent on neurotransmitters. Imagine what would happened if your body lacked neurotransmitters? The thought is unimaginable. It would wreak havoc in the body, as the brain and the nervous system would not be able to function at all. More...

What Might Happen If Your Body Lacked Neurotransmitters ?

How Do Neurons Convey Information ?
If neurons were not present in the body, our nervous system would not be able to receive impulses from other parts of the body. Hence, we would not be able to function. There are billions of neurons in the nervous and it quite interesting the way they convey information. More...
Functions Of Central Nervous System
The central nervous system, or the CNS, is regarded as a vital system in the human body for normal functioning. While CNS mainly comprises nerves along with the vital organs like spinal cord and the heart; the PNS comprises nerves throughout the body. The main function of the CNS is to co-ordinate activities of different parts of the body. The working of CNS and PNS in tandem is defined as behavior in multi-cellular organisms. More...
How Does Injury To The Peripheral Nervous System Happen ?
Peripheral nerve damages refer to damage of the nerve and connective tissue surrounding it. This is attributed to the dependence of neurons on the supporting glia. Studies on the injuries to peripheral nerve started during the Civil War in America and has seen progress not only in the aspects of nerve regeneration or reinnervation but also therapies which will enhance this process like use of biological conduits or administering molecules promoting growth.

Diseases Of The Autonomic Nervous System
The ANS or autonomic nervous system regulate and control various involuntary body functions like breathing rate, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, perspiration, micturition, salivation and many more. Since ANS works autonomously without the person having control on these processes, disorders in any part of the autonomic nervous system may affect other body parts and processes. Also, ANS disorders are caused due to disorders that destroy autonomic nerves like diabetes or due to some injury by itself. These disorders are sometimes reversible but at other times may be progressive. More...
