Nervous TissueThe majority of the nervous system is tissue made up of two classes of cells: neurons and neuroglia. Neurons. Neurons, also known as nerve cells, communicate within the body by transmitting electrochemical signals. Neurons look quite different from other cells in the body due to the many long cellular processes that extend from their central cell body. Brain The brain, a soft, wrinkled organ that weighs about 3 pounds, is located inside the cranial cavity, where the bones of the skull surround and protect it.

PT Education: The First Month with a New Client A New Direction Hi Team, as I promised in my first post for the year, 2010 at me-dot-com will see the introduction of some different types of articles. Today’s post is the first ever article (published on this site) written specifically for Personal Trainers (PTs), PT students, PT managers, centre managers and health club owners. My guess is that it will also be of interest to PT clients and potential clients. Having personally completed over 40,000 PT sessions since 1987, I consider myself to have reasonable insight into what does and doesn’t work (on a range of levels) when it comes to the product and service of Personal Training. Even today (in 2010), the PTs working in my centre (Harper’s Personal Training Brighton) still deliver somewhere in the vicinity of 1,000 training sessions every week. When I began my PT career there was no blueprint to follow, no other PTs to learn from and no ‘How-to-PT’ guide. 1. We don’t see things as they are; we see things as we are.2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

When you're thinking hard, you're using your cerebrum. The cerebrum has two halves, with one on either side of the head. Listen The Cerebellum's Balancing Act Next up is the cerebellum. Because of your cerebellum, you can stand upright, keep your balance, and move around. Brain Stem Keeps You Breathing — and More Another brain part that's small but mighty is the brain stem.
The 5 rules for a high-performance body by John Berardi, Ph.D. Alright, brace yourself. This lesson is a bit longer than the others, but it's also perhaps the most important. What is good nutrition? Do you know what types of things you have to do to look better, feel better and be healthy? What do you think it means to “eat well” or “eat healthy?” Jot down a few notes on what you think it means to eat healthy. Then take a second to think about your list. Who taught you what you know about nutrition? Perhaps you learned what you know about nutrition from parents or family – what you were told at the dinner table growing up, what comfort foods you ate. And of course, no one is immune to the influence of the media – heck, every 3rd talk show is about food and dieting. And, no doubt, you’ve probably been influenced by your past dieting efforts – whether you’ve been successful or unsuccessful.

THE WONDERS OF WATER by Lawrence Wilson, MD © January 2015, The Center for Development Water is not only the most essential substance next to oxygen for human life. This is the most important part of this article. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Oddly, packaging it in plastic jugs, even the cloudy type of plastic water containers found in the supermarket, does not ruin its properties, although it will add a little contamination to it. Also, I find that running water through copper or steel pipes also does not ruin it, as many health authorities contend. 6. 1. Drinking more than this, by the way, is not as good. Other beverages such as coffee, tea, juices, or others do not tend to hydrate the body nearly as well, and are discussed below. Also, do not drink with meals. An excellent idea is to drink about a quart of water upon arising and at least half an hour before breakfast. 2. 3. A. B. C. D.
