  • The Communication of Neurons: Neuroanatomy

    Neurons have a capability for both communication within the cell and between cells. These are done via sending electrical signals, or action potentials. This ability is called action potential conduction. The process of communication between neurons is called neurotransmission and can be done in various ways, including chemical and electric neurotransmission moving electric signals. The…

  • The Definition of Hand Skin Anatomy

    The skin is the outer vertebrates guarding and protecting the underlying muscles, internal organs, ligaments, and bones. Different body locations have different skin layers which support diverse appendages and subsequent functioning. The hand skin aids in preventing the inner body against harm and regulating body temperatures. Therefore, the hand’s skin contains the epidermis, the dermis,…
