Answer:

Sleep debt

Explanation:

Sleep debt is the name given to the difference between the amount of sleep the human body needs to rest and the amount of sleep individuals can get from day to day commitments. It can also be defined as the difference between the amount of sleep achieved and the amount needed to keep vigil alert during the day when the amount reached is less than the amount needed.

Decreased sleep for various reasons creates a kind of debt to the body that can hardly be paid. This debt alters the body by weakening the immune system, inducing the person to have diabetes, morbid obesity, heart disease, memory impairment, poor concentration, vision problems, and sleep that never goes away.  Such manifestations resulting from sleep debt may occur in the short and long term, depending on the individual's rhythm of life and the debt they have with the body. As this debt increases, so do the signals.

Identify, define and break down 10 medical terms related to the nervous system.
lutik1710 [3]
Axons are long nerve processes which carry nerve impulses from the Soma to other neurons, they vary in length but can become almost as long as half of the human body.

The soma (body) of the neuron contains the nucleus which acts as the cell's control centre, these contain many small neurofibrils which project from the nucleus into the dendrites.

Dendrites are short, thick processes which branch out of the soma in a tree like manor. They conduct nerve impulses to the soma.
The three categories of neurons:

Afferent (Sensory) Neurons have the dendrites connected to receptors such as the eyes, ears etc. These receptors change the information they receive into electrical impulses that are transmitted to other neurons. In sensory neurons the axons are connected to other neurons.

Efferent (Motor) Neurons have the dendrites connected to other neurons, the axons are connected to effectors. Effectors are either glands or a muscle cell that is the receiving end of the nerve impulse. The nerve, when excited will cause the effector to react (move, contract, or secrete etc).

Internuncial Neurons have both the dendrites and the axons are connected to other neurons. They are sometimes referred to as connector neurons.
Internuncial neurons are found throughout the body, but especially in the spinal cord and brain.

Properties and characteristics of Neurons:
Normally the electrical impulses (messages) travel through a neuron in only one direction.

The axon may be surrounded by a 'coat' of lipids (fats) and proteins known as the myelin sheath which acts as an insulator.

Neurons are specialist cells that have lost the ability to reproduce themselves. Once the soma of a neuron has died the entire neuron dies, and can never be replaced.
Repair of damaged neurons only occurs in myelinated neurons.

white matter are coloured by myelin, consisting of many neurons supported by neuroglia.
grey matter is soma and dendrites or bundles of unmyelinated axons and neuralgia.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why exercise routines should have clearly stated goals?
enot [183]
The option that isn’t a habit of healthy goal setting is D. Goal allow individuals to track their progress against others.

Your personal health is based on you as a person, not the records or plans of others. While there is a basic set line of what is healthy and what isn’t, each and every individual has different needs to achieve their best self. Comparing oneself to others not only lowers ones self esteem and empowerment, but isn’t healthy since someone else’s life isn’t applicable to yours. You are in charge of your own health and shouldn’t feel obliged to follow someone else’s plan or goals.

I hope this helps! :)
