List the 12 Cranial Nerves and their functionsThe 12 cranial nerves are: I) Olfactory, for smell; II) Optic, for seeing; III) Oculomotor, which controls eyelids and the pupil/lens within the eye; IV) Trochlear, which moves eyeballs; V) Trigeminal, which controls face and jaw muscles; VI) Abducens, which controls eyeball motion;...
Hormones contributing to the behaviors in males and females There are some hormones in the human body which control their behavior. There are some of the hormones which are common to both males and females, and they bring about the same behavior (Brizendine 3), (Brizendine 2). Such hormones include; testosterone...
Deoxygenated blood begins the cycle through the entire human body in the superior vena cava. From there it enters the right atrium of the heart then through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The contraction of the right ventricle forces the blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve leading...
1. Bones possessed by these creatures that are the same as human bones include the radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. These are the bones of the human hand and arm, responsible for giving it its structure and shape. The phalanges are the bones of the fingertips, responsible for holding...
The nervous system comprises three main functions: sensory, interpretative, and motor. It is made up of a web of cells (neurons).

The two kidneys of the human body are located in a retroperitoneal location, each on one side of the spine. The left kidney sits slightly higher than the right kidney, and the left kidney sits slightly closer to the spine that the right. Kidneys can move a few centimeters, and...
Neurons are one of two types of nerve cells. Depending on their functions, there are afferent, efferent, and interneurons. Nerves are structures from neurons and neuroglia (“helper” cells) transmitting signals throughout the body. Myelin is a substance forming an electrically insulating layer. It surrounds axons of neurons. Grey matter is...
