English: Subject and Verb Agreement

Image
Basic Rule: A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a plural subject takes a plural verb. Example: She dances gracefully. (singular) They dance together. (plural) Rule 1: Two singular subjects connected by "or" or "nor" require a singular verb. Example: Mom or dad is arriving at 10 in the morning. Rule 2: Two singular subjects connected by "either/or" or "neither/nor" require a singular verb. Example: Neither Tina nor Anne is available. Either Tom or Dan is working today. Rule 3: If "I" is one of the two subjects connected by either/or or neither/nor, put it second and follow it with the singular verb am. Example: Neither she nor I am going to the party. Rule 4: If a singular subject is connected by "or" or "nor" to a plural subject,place the plural subject last and use a plural verb. Example: The cook book or the fiction novels go on that shelf. - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...

Science: Central Nervous System

Image
Central Nervous System – contains the brain and the spinal cord. It serves to connect the sensory and motor fibers within the nervous system thus considered as the "integrating center" for all behavior and bodily functions. Spinal Cord – is the large rope-like segment of nerve tissue extending down the vertebral column, which is approximately as thick as a person’s little finger. Its principal function is to distribute motor fibers to the effector organs of the body and to collect somato-sensory information to be passed on to the brain. Spinal cord is 2/3 as long as the vertebral column and the rest is spinal roots composed of caudal equina. Brain – has an average weight of 3 lbs. and contrains at least 15 billion nerve cells called neurons Major Parts of the Brain   1. Hindbrain Closest to the spinal cord It performs a series of reflex actions such as blinking of the eye and some processes like breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. Parts of Hindbrain ...

Components of the Nervous System - Neurons

Image
What is Neuron/Nerve Cell The basic structural unit or building block of the nervous system The smallest nerve cell is less than a millimeter in size while the largest may be more than a meter in length Nerve cell holds the secret how the brain works Nerve cell has two specialized functions: [1] to receive signal [2] the longer extension is for transmitting signals Acethylcholine – is a neurotransmitter or chemical substance that travels across synaptic gap, stimulates the next neuron, carrying the impulse from one neuron to another Glial cells – are non-neural cells that hold the neurons in place Myelin Sheath – is the covering on the axons of neurons, which insulate them, making the transmission of impulses faster Parts of a Neuron Dendrites – receive impulses and carry them toward the cell bodies. These are short branches of fibers branching out like roots from the cell body Axon – carries impulses away from the cell body toward other neurons. These are...

Psychology: Sleeping

Sleep Deprivation / Sleep Loss - Being prevented from getting the desired or needed amounts of sleep - Typically causes trembling hands, dropping eyelids, inattention, irritability, staring, increase pain sensitivity and general discomfort (Doran, Van Dongen and Dinges, 2001) - If you lose just one hour of sleep at night, it can affect your mood, memory, ability to pay attention and even your health (Mass, 1999) Normal range of sleep - Majority of us sleep on a 7 to 8 hour per night schedule Sleep hormone - A sleep-promoting substance found in the brain and spinal cord Beta Waves - Small, fast brain waves associated with being awake and alert Alpha waves - Large, slow brain waves associated with relaxation and falling asleep; also occur when you are relaxed and allow your thoughts to drift Non-REM sleep function - Increases after physical exertion and may help us recover from body fatigue REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement sleep...
