Electronic Signals in the Heart and the Nerves
The heart and nerves in the human body are organs of the circulatory and nervous system, respectively, of which they contribute to the proper body functioning of the human body. Although each organ belongs to different organ systems, the heart and nerves in the body share its similarities as well as differences. One important function that both the heart and nerves share is the ability of each to generate and transmit electric signals that stimulates movement and functioning inside the body, particularly in the brain's thought processes.
The activity of electric signal transmission in the heart and the nerves are two different processes, although they both share the aspect of being a step-like, or pathway process. This means that both the heart and nerves undergo a 'domino effect'-like...
Inside the body, the heart functions in a domino-effect-like manner because of the different pathways the electronic signal from the heart has to go through in order to keep the human body functioning. These pathways start from the sinoatrial or SA node, also commonly known as the "heart pacemaker." After passing through the SA node, the electric signal is transmitted to the following 'passageways' in the heart's structure: the atria- atrioventricular conduction system- AV (atrioventricular) node- bundle of His- ventricles- Purkinje fibers.
The enumerated pathways are also similar to the passageways that nerves' electric signals have to pass through. In the same manner that the heart is able to pass through different passageways within its 'structure,' nerves…
Transmission media, which is also known as communication media, refers to a means with which information is broadcasted from one location to another. The transmission medium in a data transmission system is regarded as the physical pathway between the sender and the receiver of a message or information. Generally, transmission media in computer communications are divided into two categories i.e. bounded and unbounded media. Bounded media are the physical pathways
And new capabilities are being added to chips. These include microelectromechanical systems (MEMs), "such as sensors and actuators, and digital signal processors that enable cost reductions and extend it into new types of devices. Examples of MEM devices include ink-jet printer cartridges, hard disk drive heads, accelerometers that deploy car airbags, and chemical and environmental sensors" (Gulliksen 2000). Trends toward improvements in microelectronics and MEMs are expected to continue as
" This allows the palm of the hand to go either up or down when in motion. The radius and the ulna connect with the bones which that are attached to the wrist and hand. The thumbs of the human hand make it possible for the hand to lift and carry objects. The movement of the human hand is due to evolutionary development of bipedalism. The human hand consists of twenty
This is however, not considered foolproof. It is possible to break the security by a person having adequate technical expertise and access to the network at hardware level. In view of this the SSL method with right configuration is considered perfectly sufficient for all commercial purposes.5In order to safeguard the data while in transit it is customary to adopt a practical SSL protocol covering all network services that use
13. What is the difference between HTTP and HTML? HTML is a markup language used to structure text and multimedia files and to set up hypertext links between them. HTTP, on the other had, is a protocol that is used to request and deliver files such as Web pages and Web page components. When a browser requests a Web page from a Web server, it uses HTTP. 14. What is the difference
Miniature Antennas for Biomedical Applications Most of the studies on microwave antennas for medical applications have concentrated on generating hyperthermia for medical treatments and monitoring several physiological parameters. The types of antenna implanted depend of the location. Besides the medical therapy and diagnosis the telecommunications are considered as significant functions for implantable medical devices those needs to transmit diagnosis information. The design of the antennas catering to MEMS and NANO
