The Spinal Cord
The Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is a cylindrical mass of nerve tissues extending from the foramen magnum in the skull to the area between the first and second lumbar vertebrae at the conus medullaris. It is divided into three major sections (Figure 31) namely the cervical (C1-C8 spinal segments), thoracic (T1- T12 segments), lumbar (L1- L5), and sacral (S1- S5 segments).

The Nervous System (Part 5)
The Diencephalon
The diencephalon (Figure 21) is composed of the thalamus, subthalamus, hypothalamus, and the epithalamus (O Sullivan and Siegelman, 2006).

Neuroanatomy (Part 4)
The White Matter of the Cerebrum
The white matter of the cerebrum as stated earlier is composed of myelinated nerve fibers located centrally. Varieties of such are the transverse commissural fibers, the projection fibers, and the association fibers.

Neuroanatomy (Part 3)
Nevertheless, the cerebral hemispheres possess similarities. Both hemispheres also possess similarities. Both hemispheres are made up of six lobes. They are the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, insular, and limbic lobes (O Sullivan and Siegleman, 2006).
The frontal lobe controls and activates the voluntary muscles of the body (precentral gyrus). It also controls an individuals emotions and judgments (prefrontal cortex). Furthermore, there is also a portion of the frontal lobe that controls the motor aspects of speech (Brocas area). The frontal lobe also stores long term memory, together with the temporal lobe, hippocampus, amygdala, and the diencephalon[ Click here to read more ]

PART 4 of the Series (THE MEAT IS IN THE CONCLUSION)
Glucose Utilization during Exercise- A Function of the Insulin
Insulin, though not mentioned in Table 2, is also important in both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. As discussed, during these two types of exercise, glucose is one of the fuels that energize the body. And so glucose production has been shown to be stimulated by the catecholamines (and at rest, the glucagon). But how can the glucose produced and delivered to the blood be consumed by the cells in the body? The answer to this is through insulin coming from the pancreas.
