The Nervous System

The nervous system receives information from the receptors, processes and coordinates it, and generates orders to the effectors.

Central Nervous System (CNS)

The central nervous system coordinates all the body's functions. It is formed by the encephalon and the spinal cord.

The Encephalon

The encephalon is protected by the skull or cranium and by three membranes, the meninges, between which a liquid called the cerebrospinal fluid circulates. This liquid protects the encephalon from knocks and blows. The encephalon is divided into three parts: the brain, the cerebellum, and the brainstem.

• The brain is divided into two hemispheres, separated by a fissure. Its surface, called the cerebral cortex, is rough and full of folds and furrows,

Separate the People from the Problem

The relationship tends to become entangled with the problem. Negotiators have to separate the relationship from the substance and deal directly with the people's problem. How to do it?

Use symbolic gestures (e.g., shaking hands, a small gift).

Listen attentively... Continue reading "Effective Negotiation Strategies" »

Level of Democratization in Iran

: once magnetized, remains magnetized. Ferromagnet: easily magnetized (iron, nickel, cobalt, some rare-earth metals, magnetite). Paramagnet: magnetized with more difficulty. Diamagnet: repels magnetic fields (slightly) - “not magnetic”./Materials can be broken into smaller chunks, called “domains”. Each domain has a miniature magnetic field. Materials may look the same, but at a smaller level, domains could be different - hence why some are magnets (or magnetize easily) and some don’t. Material, Temperature, Condition, Size & Shape*, Distance, affects magnet strength. All magnets* have two poles; North and South. At poles magnet is at its strongest (repelling or attracting). Breaking a magnet turns into 2 smaller... Continue reading "Understanding Magnetism, Electricity, and Light: A Comprehensive Overview" »
