FUCK YEAH NERVOUS SYSTEM

This application (—>) simulates eye motion and demonstrates the effects of disabling one or more of the 12 eye muscles and one or more of the 6 cranial nerves that control eye motion. The purpose of this simulator is to teach medical students and doctors how the eye motion will change with pathology of the eye muscles and cranial nerves and what to look for during a standard neurological eye exam.

False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing the synapses between motor nerve fibres (pale yellow) and skeletal muscle fibres (magenta). Synapses contain small vescicles loaded with neurotransmitters which are released in response to electrical impulses travelling from the neurons. In the case of nerve fibres connected to skeletal muscle fibres the neurotransmitter involved is known as acetylcholine. [source]

$Nerve bundle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through a bundle of myelinated nerve fibres. Myelin sheaths (pink) can be seen surrounding the axons (green). Perineurium (connective tissue, grey) surrounds the nerve bundle while endoneurium divides the individual fibres. [source]$
