              Biology
                P.2
Standards
 Unit 9: Human Psychology

9B: Students know how the nervous system mediates
communication between different parts of the body
and the body’s interactions with the environment.

 Unit 9 : Human Psychology

 9D: Students know the functions of the nervous
system and the role of neurons in transmitting
electrochemical impulses.
How Do The Standards
  Relate To My Topic?
This relates to my topic by neurons which are cells but
just not regular cells. Sensory neurons translate
light, sounds into neural signals, so which allows us to
see, and hear. Motor neurons transmits signals for the
movement of muscle, and glands.

What is a gland?

A gland is a organ which animals have in order to release
a substances such as hormones, and breast milk.
What is Technology?
Well, there's 5 different types of technology that we
speak, but we are going to talk about 1 which is
technology as in objects such as:
tools, machines, instrument, weapons, appliances.
Technology
We all know that technology has been advancing. Here in the
21 century we still see technology is still at its best. Many
teens today use technology way to much, and this happens
because they were born in this century so they're
surrounded by computers, video games, cell phones, and
etc.If technology were to fall teens would have nothing to do
well most of them. about 21 millions of teens are on the
internet,51 percent of teens have broadband connections,81
percent of teens are playing video games, and 75 percent use
instant messaging.
The Human Brain
The brain is the central nervous system or like a command
center.what the brain does is tells your whole body what to
do.what the brain is its like a large usb or memory why
because our brain holds everything what we learn in
school, memory like in the past. Some of the dieses in the
brain are: inflammation and what this is like you lose your
vision, causes weakness, paralysis, another disease is a
stoke which is if u lose brain cells you wont be able to
think clearly, the next one is brain strokes and what that is
its likes pressures the nervous system and will cause the
brain to not work rite, the last disease Alzheimer what this
means is where it happens at first is
memory, language, and thought, there is no cure for this
disease, but they are drugs that can help the symptoms
from getting worse.
The Good Affects From Technology To The
                 Brain

  1. The brain adapts to the internet and you become more
  efficient for finding information.
  2. Playing Video games can improve your visual acuity.




Note: visual acuity is like how well you can see.
Video
The bad affects from technology to the
                 brain

1. students or people take an easy way to go on
Google and search for information or in Microsoft
word use spell check, the bad things of this is that
with this people do not want to memorize as much
so its like if there lazy.

2. When using the internet you lose social skills.

3. Calculators cause losing math skills and the brain
will forget.
