Our Wonderful Nervous System

By Jack Morgan


The enteric nervous system is actually a secondly brain that many people never ever knew they had. While it has not been scientifically proven and studied up until fairly lately, we have all had the experience of experiencing certain gut feelings with regards to a situation or of having butterflies in the stomach when we are nervous about something.

The right side of the brain is in charge of and controls the body's left side while the left side of the brain controls the right of the body A neuron's diameter ranges between 4-100 microns. In the body of a child developing in the womb, its neurons grow at the rate of a quarter of a million neurons per minute. The brain has only 4% of its total cells active at any time while the other cells are kept on reserve.

One of the interesting things that had been discovered when studying the enteric system was that the same neurotransmitters that are present in the brain take up residence from the gut as well. serotonin, glutamate and dopamine and norepinephrine are located within our enteric nervous scientists, system and physicians have had no choice but to acknowledge the fact that there is certainly some actual basis to your gut feelings and reactions who have, up until this point, been reasonably hard to explain, by understanding that chemicals such as serotonin. These findings have not only validated these "hunches" but they also play a huge part in assisting us understand our very own lives plus helping to take care of numerous problems in the digestive system.

Earthworms actually have dual nerve cords that run along the length of their body and come together at the tail and mouth. Sponges that live in the bottom of the ocean have no nervous systems. A new born baby's brain will grow almost three times more in the course of its first year. As we grow older in life, our brains lose about a gram of weight a year.

This means that feeling tense or being put in a stressful or uncomfortable scenario will inevitably cause some bit of intestinal distress and this issues in our stomach can cause a significant amount of mental discomfort as well. These two areas of the body should be studied separately as well as in conjunction with one another, because of the potential effects of the enteric nervous system and what we typically think of as our brain.

One more important fact about the nervous system is that it works on mirror image system. That means left part of human brain control the right part of the human body and right part of the human brain control the left part of human body.

The reason why this receives it's own category is because bone marrow is actually one of the more awesome and important part of the bones. You see, many bones are in fact hollow, this makes the bone strong, and very light; in the bone is where red blood flow cells and white blood flow cells are produced; so your bone make blood, and are vital to the white blood cells, which of course helps with your immune system.

The brain and the spinal chord usually work together, but the human spinal chord is actually capable of making decisions on its own. 43 nerves connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, while only 12 of these are connected to the brain.
