Nerve Conduction Physiology
BASIC PHYSIOLOGY OF NERVE CONDUCTION The neurons form the building blocks of the nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) contains about 100 billion neurons. It also contains 10–50 times this number of glial cells. Neurons Neurons in the mammalian central nervous system come in many different shapes and sizes. Most of them have the […]
Biomechanics of the Hip Joint and Causes of Dislocation
PART 1: The biomechanics of the hip joint is quite complex due to the pelvic motion, alongside the range of movements it produces. In science, biomechanics is the study of forces acting on a living body. Due to its anatomical figure and secure attachments of muscles and ligaments, the hip is quite mobile. The orientation […]

Cell Communication: Receptors and Ligands
Cell Communication: Receptors and Ligands Abstract The connection between ligand binding to eliciting physiological responses is a fundamental mechanism that is a major characteristic of organisms. In this lab, we observed Daphnia Magna’s heart rateunder the influence of various type of drugs, and were able to measure the effects of ligand binding through evaluating their […]
