The nervous system has two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS is made up of nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body and its organs. Within the PNS is the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary muscles, and the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like breathing and digestion. Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system and communicate via electrical and chemical signals.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTAINS TWO MAIN TYPES OF CELLS.
A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the
nervous system.
Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous
system.
Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the
body.
They constitute the communication network of the nervous system and transfer electrical impulses between the central nervous system and sensory organs such as eye,ear.nose,tongue and skin.
There are Approximately 86-100 billion neurons in the brain.
DENDRITES
Dendrites are the tree-like branched structures that arise from the nerve cell body.
Apart from the main dendrite branches, dendrites may contain additional protrusions
known as dendrite spines.
The axon hillock is a specialized region from which the
axon extends.
The axon is a single elongated tubal structure that extends from the Axon Hillock.
Each neuron has a single axon that extends and branches at its end.
The inner most Plasma membrane around the axon is Axolemma.
Neurilemma is the plasma membrane of schwann cells .
The spaces/gaps between the Schwann cells are known as the nodes of Ranvier and they serve to propagate electrical signals along the axon.
The branched end of the axon is known as the axon terminal[arborization] and
branches at the middle of the axon is axon collaterals .
This is the distal part of the axon that comes in contact with other cells. Also called as terminal boutons.
This part of the axon is largely involved in the release of the neurotransmitter.The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus ,cytoplasm and organelles.
The cell body connects to the dendrites, and send information to the
axon depending on the strength of the signal.
The neuronal cytoplasm have the following
The Nucleus,
Nucleolus,
Endoplasmic Reticulum,
Golgi Apparatus,
Mitochondria,
Ribosomes,
Lysosomes,
Endosomes,
And Peroxisomes. A bipolar neuron is a type of neuron which has two extensions (one axon and one dendrite).
A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons.
TYPES OF NEURON:
A unipolar neuron is a type of neuron in which only one process called a neurite extends from the cell body. A pseudounipolar neuron is a type of neuron which has one extension from its cell body. This type of neuron contains an axon that has split into two branches; one branch travels to the PNS and the other to the CNS.They are three types of neurons based on the function as follows Sensory Neuron
Inter-Neuron
Motor Neuron
Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits, enabling communication between sensory or motor neurons and the (CNS).
Glial cells (named from the Greek word for "glue") are non- neuronal cells that
provide support and nutrition,
maintain homeostasis,
form myelin,
and participate in signal transmission.

The nervous system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that coordinates and regulates the body's responses to internal and external stimuli. It is responsible for the control and coordination of all the body's functions, including movement, sensation, thought, and behavior.
The nervous system can be divided into two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves that extend from the CNS to the rest of the body.
The nervous system is made up of different types of cells, including neurons and glial cells. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit signals through the body in the form of electrical impulses. Glial cells, on the other hand, support and protect the neurons and help maintain the proper functioning of the nervous system.
The nervous system is responsible for many vital functions, including:
Sensory processing: The nervous system receives sensory information from the environment and the body's internal organs, and processes and interprets this information to generate appropriate responses.
Motor control: The nervous system controls the muscles and other organs of the body to produce movement and other responses.
Cognitive functions: The nervous system is responsible for the processes of learning, memory, language, and other complex mental activities.
Autonomic functions: The nervous system regulates the body's automatic functions, such as breathing, heart rate, digestion, and other bodily processes that are not under conscious control.
Overall, the nervous system is a complex and intricate system that plays a critical role in maintaining the body's homeostasis and overall well-being.

Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. FUNCTIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEMFUNCTIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Sensory input – Gathering information. To
monitor changes occurring inside and outside
the body.
• Integration - To process and interpret sensory
input and decide if action is needed.
• Motor output. A response to stimuli and
Activates muscles or glands.
• The nervous system maintains the homeostasis
of the body.
• Nervous system is a large network of
interconnected systems.

•Nerves outside the
brain and spinal cord
4. THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEMTHE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Sensory (afferent) division - Nerve
fibers that carry information to the
central nervous system.
• Motor (efferent) division - Nerve fibers
that carry impulses away from the
central nervous system.
• Somatic system: They carry
information to somatic effectors
which are skeletal muscles. This
is a motor pathway. This also
include afferent pathways made
of somatic sensory division that
provide feedback. They are
voluntary.
• Autonomic system: Involuntary
5. AUTONOMIC NERVOUSAUTONOMIC NERVOUS
SYSTEMSYSTEMAutonomic nervous system is considered as a self-control
system that comes under peripheral nervous system. It
basically regulates the internal environment of the body,
exchanging commands between peripheral nervous system
and organs in order to maintain important body functions.
There are two divisions in the autonomic nervous system.
Sympathetic nervous system “fight or flight” response. The
main function of the sympathetic nervous system is to
prepare the body for emergency situation and to produce
rapid mobilizations to avoid the danger.
Parasympathetic nervous system. “housekeeping”. This
system is responsible to maintain the activities such as “rest-
and – digest” or “feed- and- breed” that occur when body is at
rest.
6. ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ENS)ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ENS)
The ENS is also called second brain in the wall of the
gut. The term enteric means intestinal or we call it as
intestinal nervous system.
It is a part of autonomic nervous system.
But it communicates between afferent and efferent
pathways.
It has its own mind and a network of integrators and
feedback loops that act somewhat independently.
8. NERVOUS SYSTEM HISTOLOGYNERVOUS SYSTEM HISTOLOGY
Neurons = nerve cells
• Cells specialized to transmit electrochemical messages
• Major regions of neurons
• Cell body – nucleus and metabolic center of the cell
• Processes – fibers that extend from the cell body
9. GLIAGLIA
Two main types of cells in nervous system
1.Neurons: they are excitable cells that conduct impulses to
make all nervous system make functional.
2.Glia: they do not conduct impulses but sup[port the
function of neurons in various ways.
a.Neuroglia is derived from glia=glue.
b.Found by Camillo Golgi
c.Unlike neurons it has the capacity of cell division and it
susceptible to cause cancer.
d.Glia mainly consists of 5 types of cells such as Astrocytes,
Microglia, Ependymal cells, Oligodendrocytes, Schwann
cells.
10. GLIAGLIA
Astrocytes: Star shaped cells found in CNS. Largest glia
cells. They feed neurons with lactic acid made from glucose
picked from blood. Helps in production of neurons and
neural connections in the early stage of life. They help to
form Blood Brain Barrier in the capillary network of brain to
prevent the entry of large molecules such as water, alcohol,
CO2 etc.
Microglia: Small stationery cells found in CNS. Does
phagocytosis.
Ependymal cells: Resemble epithelial cells and helps in fluid
circulation around cavities.
Oligodendrocytes: tiny cells found in cluster. They help in
formation of myelin sheath around nerve fibers in CNS.
Schwann cells: or neuro-lemmocytes are the glia of the PNS.
Glial cells function to support neurons and in the PNS.

31. • When a stimulus is applied to a neuron the stimulus
gated Na+ channel open. Na+ diffuse rapidly into the
cell because of the concentration gradient and electrical
gradient producing local depolarization.
• When the magnitude of the local depolarization
surpasses the limit called threshold potential Voltage
gated channels of Na+ open. They are ion channels
that respond to voltage changes. There are many Na+
and K+ channels in the membrane of the neuron.
• As more Na+ rushes into the cell the membrane moves
rapidly toward 0mV and then continues in a positive
direction to a peak of +30mV. + indicate that there are
excess positive ions inside the membrane.
32. • Voltage gated channels stay open for only about 1
milliseconds before they automatically closes. It is automatic
and happens if and only if the threshold potential is
surpassed otherwise no action potential created.
• Once the peak action potential is reached the membrane
potential begins to move back towards resting potential
which called repolarization. (-70mV). Surpassing the
threshold potential not triggers Na+ channel but also K+
channel. The K+ channel is slow to respond but still it helps
in the outflow of the excess positive ions thus repolarizing
the membrane.
• Since the K+ channel often remain open as the membrane
reaches its resting potential, too much K+ ions may rush out
thus there is a period of hyperpolarization before the resting
potential is restored and K+ channel closes.
