An organ system consists of a group of organs that performs specific functions necessary for the survival of an organism. Humans

have eleven different organ systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Discuss the function of neurons, the brain and the spinal cord within the human nervous system while explaining the interrelationship of each organ.

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.  

• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.  

• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.

• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.

Fill a glass with water above the rim. It forms a domed surface. Add a paper clip and watch it float, even though
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Water has several  very unique properties, like surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion because water  is polar and every water molecule electrically attracts the neighboring  water molecules.

Explanation:

Water is a universal solvent and has several  unique properties like surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, high specific heat, etc.

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom's nucleus attracts electrons more strongly than the nuclei of hydrogen atoms. The negatively charged electrons are pulled toward the oxygen atom's nucleus and away from the hydrogen atom nuclei. As a result, a negative electrical charge occurs in the middle part of the water molecule near the oxygen atom and a positive charge near the other parts of the molecule (hydrogen atoms). This unequal distribution of electrical charge between different parts of the water molecule (polarity) makes it a polar molecule.

The positive part of one water molecule (hydrogen atoms) is attracted to the negative parts of neighboring water molecules and as a result, hydrogen bonds are formed between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. These hydrogen bonds between molecules help hold water molecules together.
