The human brain is the working force for the entire body. It tells people what to say, how to walk, tells or heart to pump, and every other little activity that goes on in the body. Not only does the brain instruct humans, it grows and becomes stronger. It allows humans to think of new information whenever they want. What would people be like without a brain? That answer is dead, like a rock. When a person takes a blow to the head hard enough to move the brain they get a concussion. This injury has been a huge focus point for doctors around the world these past few years, especially with sports. Doctors found out what a concussion was, how they happen, and what the effects of them are. The word “concussion” was used in the 18th century to …show more content…
Human brains are surrounded by spinal fluid and encased in a protective shell but are not capable of taking hard hits. When a person takes a blow to the head their brain shakes and collides with the shell it is held in. The best example would be a football player. In a helmet-to-helmet collision a player can receive 100gs of force. That is two players colliding at 20 mph and equivalent to being hit in the head with a sledge hammer. This research was done by ESPN 's Sport Scientists. After a player is concussed he or she will have symptoms depending on how bad it may be. Some cases include loss of consciousness, blurred vision, nausea, headaches, loss of memory and coordination. There are also possibilities that there will be no symptoms and the athlete will not even know until it begins to worsen. If there are symptoms it is crucial to receive medical care right away. There are three different levels for concussions: grade one (mild), grade two (moderate), and grade three (severe). The most important treatment is rest. If a person does not rest from activities the symptoms will never go away and the concussion will drag on. Staying away from watching television, playing games, reading and other activities that involve thinking will help the brain rest. It is also extremely important that someone who has a concussion is monitored 24 hours to make sure all is good. Although doctors know how concussions occur and know what the symptoms of them are it does not stop the
No Conclusion The force of gravity affects all "bodies" in the universe. How well each human falls into the imaginary line of gravity determines the energy they must have to expel to live within this force. The ideal axis for obtaining the greatest balance is one that is a strait line through the center mass of the body. This line should be identical to the one between the gravitational force between the body and the earth. The human body has adapted over many generations and there are markers
near to having the human cognition; therefore, a fighter pilot is more dependable than an autonomous drone being in control of destructive weapons. A drone is an autonomous unmanned machine that can operate by itself without human control. Researchers are currently working on replacing human fighter pilots in the military with drones that can operate on their own. Although this idea of replacement may sound fantastic, there are many problems with drones and factors that make a human operating a fighter
Your body has about 10 systems that work together to complete a human being. This is studied by a branch of biology called anatomy. Anatomy is the study of body structures of humans, animals, and other living organisms. There are different types of anatomy like human anatomy, zootomy anatomy (animal), and phytotomy anatomy (plant) (Nordqvist, Christian, “What Is Anatomy?”). Students who plan to become part of the medical field are required to take anatomy along with biochemistry. Biochemistry is
us an idea of how the body and mind works to produce an action and a result. For instance, there are perceptive processes within the vital steps during a jump shot. Shooting a basketball whilst may seem like a trivial task, requires hand-eye co-ordination as well as visual, depth and touch perception. This essay will focus specifically on one fluid motion; the moment the player bends his knees through to when the ball is released from his fingertips. Perception is how the brain takes in information
contributions to science and philosophy are profound, and they have yet to be fully recognized and integrated on the grand scale. David Bohm was born on December 20, 1917, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Bohm was fascinated by the dazzling concepts of cosmic forces and vast expanses of space that lie beyond our understanding. Bohm began his theory with the troubling concern that the two pillars of modern physics, quantum mechanics and relativity theory, actually contradict each other. This contradiction is
in 1895 by a German physicist named W.C. Roentgen (“The Discovery”). W.C. Roentgen was working in his lab one day in 1895 and decided to send a high electrical current through a cathode ray filled with special gas. He realized that a dim green colored light was being produced, and decided to hold the cathode ray just above his wife’s hand. When he did this he observed that the light was able to penetrate human skin, but would leave all the bones visible. There is a picture below of the X-ray of W
particular- the effects of long duration space travel on the human body. With recent technological advances, long term voyages through the cosmos have leapt from the pages of science fiction and into reality, with several public and private entities- including NASA- planning manned missions to Mars as soon as the year 2030. While that may seem a long way off from the present, research into the effects of extended cosmic voyages on human beings is still in its infancy, especially with regards to the
All the waves emanated by the activities of mind are imprinted in life force (energy particles) of organism and emerges as memory; this functional state is called sub-consciousness. The sub-consciousness is working through the brain and is the third stage in function of bio-consciousness and also termed as ‘Chittham’ It possesses subtler functional waves, triggers the billions of nerve cells and modifies the bio-magnetic force into pressure, sound, light, taste and smell to the required level for

Nature and nurture are no longer a debate; we see the two working together in concert to produce a genuine expression of the individual. The personalities and habits humans acquire in their lives is as much a biological evolution as it is a social or cultural acclimatization. While some people still have the argument that it is nature or it is nurture many people have come to the realization that is has to be both. Both nature and nurture developed who we are and what we become. So the question
understand how these factors, the destruction of Dresden and ‘PTSD’, came to make Billy Pilgrim “unstuck” in time, one must review over the circumstances surrounding those events. The human mind is a part of the body which current science knows little about. Trigger mechanisms, and other factors within the brain are relatively unknown to current humanity. Therefore, in order to produce a diagnostic on why Billy Pilgrim became “unstuck” in time, the reader of Slaughterhouse Five must come to terms

Now the World State has even more control over every individual. They are now able to force their own moral beliefs into the “child’s mind. And not the child’s mind only [sic].

their impulses that relieve their unfounded fears. The question that arises is how the OCD sufferer can be aware of their unrealistic and unprecedented fears, but cannot control their impulsive behavior? We are not conscious of the blind spot when our brain 'fills in' the empty area created by the blind spot, and thus have no control over our blind spot. However, OCD patients are aware of their brain's autonomous control over their behavior that causes obscure actions and thoughts that are typical of
As people age and enter different stages of life, their interests vary as do the subjects and activities that take up their time and focus. Some spend their time studying, pursuing education, others working or raising children. Mixed in is a combination of time spent engaging in activities, hobbies, and other enjoyable activities. You’ve probably heard the phrase “not enough time in the day.” Perhaps you’ve even used it yourself in conversation. This
