The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains neurons and neural pathways that process and integrate sensory information and coordinate voluntary and involuntary motor responses. The peripheral nervous system comprises the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord. It contains the somatic and autonomic divisions. Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, consisting of a cell body, dendrites, and axon. They transmit electrochemical signals via synapses to coordinate sensory perception and motor responses.

A vaccine is a biological agent that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine usually contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism. It is often made from killed or weakened forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. Body's immune system is stimulated to recognize the agent as a threat and destroy it, and any of these microorganisms that it later encounters.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Nervous System
In biology, the nervous system is a highly
complex part of an animal that coordinates
its actions and sensory information by
transmitting signals to and from different
parts of its body.

The Nervous System
Millions of interconnected neurons form the nervous
system
Human nervous system two major parts: central
nervous system and peripheral nervous system
6. nervous
The Brain - 3 Major Areas
Cerebrum (telencephalon, diencephalon,)
Cerebellum
Brainstem (midbrain, pons, medulla
oblongata)
7. nervous
Cerebrum
Composed of Telencephalon (Cerebral
Cortex) and Diencephalon
Cerebral Cortex is gray matter because
nerve fibers lack white myelin coating
10. nervous
Functions of the Cerebral
Cortex
Intellectual processes: thought, intelligence.
Processes sensory information and integrates with
past experience to produce appropriate motor
response.
11. nervous
Diencephalon - 2 Major Parts
Thalamus
– Relays stimuli received from all sensory neurons to cortex
for interpretation
– Relays signals from the cerebral cortex to the proper area
for further processing
Hypothalamus
– Monitors many parameters
temperature, blood glucose levels, various hormone levels
– Helps maintain homeostasis
– Signals the pituitary via releasing factors
– Signals the lower neural centers
13. nervous
Cerebellum
Located behind the
brainstem
Helps monitor and
regulate movement
Integrates postural
adjustments,
maintenance of
equilibrium, perception
of speed, and other
reflexes related to fine
tuning of movement.
14. nervous
Brainstem
The brainstem (brain stem) is the distal part of
the brain that is made up of
the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
Each of the three components has its own
unique structure and function. Together, they
help to regulate breathing, heart rate, blood
pressure, and several other important
functions.
18. nervous
Gray Matter
Regions of brain and spinal cord made up
primarily of cell bodies and dendrites of nerve
cells
Interneurons in spinal cord
– small nerves which do not leave the spinal cord
Terminal portion of axons
19. nervous
White Matter
Contains tracts or pathways made up of
bundles of myelinated nerves
Carry ascending and descending signals
– Ascending nerve tract from sensory receptors
through dorsal root, up cord to thalamus, to
cerebral cortex
– Pyramidal tract transmits impulses downward
eventually excites motoneurons control muscles.
– Extrapyramidal originate in brain stem descend
to control posture.
22. nervous
Peripheral Nervous System
Thirty-one pairs of
spinal nerves & 12 pairs
of cranial nerves.
Each spinal nerve is a
mixed nerve containing:
– Somatic afferent
– Visceral afferent
– Somatic efferent
– Visceral efferent
23. nervous
Somatic Nervous System
Somatic afferent
(sensory): carry
sensations from periphery
to spinal cord. Includes
exteroceptive (pain,
temperature, touch) &
proprioceptive.
Somatic efferent (motor):
communicate from spinal
cord to skeletal muscles.
24. nervous
Autonomic Nervous System
Subdivisions
Sympathetic
– responsible for increasing activity in most
systems (except GI)
– adrenergic fibers release epinephrine
Parasympathetic
– responsible for slowing activity in most systems
(except GI)
– cholinergic fibers release acetylcholine
28. nervous
Motor Unit
A single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers which it
innervates. Represents functional unit of movement.
Ratio of muscle fibers to nerve relates to muscle’s movement
function.
29. nervous
Neurons
Two basic types
1. Motor
2. Sensory
Three basic parts
1. Axons
2. Dendrites
3. Soma or Cell Bodies
30. nervous

the dorsal side
Cell bodies lie outside
the spinal cord in
Dorsal Root Ganglia
31. nervous
Motor Nerves
Exit the spinal cord on the ventral side
Cell bodies lie within grey matter of spinal
cord
Somatic
– innervates skeletal muscle
Autonomic (visceral)
– innervates organs / smooth muscle
33. nervous
Myelin
Schwann cells
wrapped around the
axon of some
neurons
– appear as multiple lipid-protein layers
– are actually a continuous cell
– increase the speed of action potential conduction
34. nervous
Neuron Parts:
Dendrites and Cell body
Dendrite: receives stimuli and carry it to the
cell body
Cell body: site of cellular activity
35. nervous
Synapse
Junction between the dendrites of one neuron
and the axon of a second neuron
Nerves communicate by releasing chemical
messenger at synapse
37. nervous
Motor Nerves - Size
Alpha motor nerves
– Larger fibers
