LOVE FIBER FOODS

LOVE FIBER FOODS Human body always need an continuous intake of food to carry on the daily activities of the life, as man is just like a machine which need fuel for the proper working. Without a proper and balanced nutrition human metabolism gets disturbed and he feels it difficult to carry out his daily life activities. But to achieve this thing one has to go for a diet which is full of fibers not sugars. As, you guys must know that fibers are the key to a healthy digestive system. So, here is the motto which you must have in your life to keep your organs healthy wealthy and fit. Avoid sugary food; love fiber foods. Now, for doing so you don’t have to visit a nutritionist; instead by eating the foods mentioned below you can have the desired effects. 1 st of all you have to cut the sweetened beverages, chocolates, and many other hidden sources of sugar like sauces, cereals used in the breakfast, and  flavoured   yoghurt . I know that it seems difficult to shun such food

ANATOMY OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS

Anatomy of neurotransmitters An understanding of the synaptic transmission is of great importance in understanding the basic principle of chemical signaling between the neurons. This chemical process of interaction or signaling between the neurons occurs at the end of the axon, in a structure called synapse. Synapse: As neurons form a network, so they have to be interconnected for the purpose of transmission of nerve impulse from one neuron to the other. But, unlike other cells there is a lack of a cellular continuity between two neurons, as they have a space between them called as the synapse. The mechanism of chemical signaling involves the release of a chemical, called a neurotransmitter from a presynaptic neuron, which further binds to the receptors which are located in the postsynaptic neuron. These neurotransmitters then act on their particular receptors and produce a particular response. Neurotransmitters: Neurotransmitters are defined as endogenous chemicals i

ANATOMY OF THE NERVES

Anatomy of   the nerves Cells of the nervous system: There are basically two types of cells in the nervous system, named as Glial cells and the neurons or nerve cells. The main function of the Glial cells is as follows: 1.       To nourish neurons. 2.       To provide a structural support to the neurons 3.       They help in the removal of waste products from the neurons. 4.       Insulating neurons are another function of the Glial cells. Neurons, the other cells play a significant role in the communication along the nervous system and hence can be regarded as the communicators of the Nervous system. Neuron, the messenger in the body receives information, then process it according to the nature of the information and finally pass it along. They not only communicate with one another, but also with the sensory organs and the muscles in the body. (1) Physical features of the nerve cells or neurons: Soma or cell body: Dendrites: Dendrites are the extensions

ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN

Anatomy of the brain The human nervous system is basically composed of central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system comprises the brain and the spinal cord whereas, peripheral nervous system is composed of spinal nerves that branch from the spinal cord and cranial nerves that branch from the brain. Anatomy of brain: Brain is the most complex organ in the human body comprising of three sections: 1.       Cerebrum 2.       Cerebellum 3.       Brain stem Cerebrum: It is the largest component of the human brain and is divided into right and left hemispheres which are joined together by a collection of white matter of fibers, termed as Corpus callosum. Each of the cerebral hemispheres is further divided into four lobes: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe and the occipital lobe. All of these lobes are different from each other with structural variations, as the frontal lobe id
