This happens as the size of the individual glial cells increase much more. New glial cells may also happen to be added to bare axons. These changes improve the ability of a neuron to signal. Also every time you learn a new skill, the new cells burst to life in your brain. Then, one after the other, those cells will die off as your brain figures out which you need the most. ]]> 2020-08-06 20:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671775207 svargas101 https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671793573 Although neurons are our longest living cells in our body, large numbers of them die during migration and distinction. The lives of some neurons can take abnormal turns. Some diseases of the brain are the result of the unnatural deaths of neurons. ]]> 2020-08-06 20:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671793573 svargas101 https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671814079 Learning helps the individual to acquire the necessary skills so that he/she can achieve his/her set goals. An important fact about learning is that it helps improve your knowledge and gain skills that will help in reaching specific life goals.]]> 2020-08-06 21:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671814079 svargas101 https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671823803 Learning is very essential to our existence. Just as food nourishes our bodies, information and continued learning throughout the years nourishes our mind. Continuous learning forms a important part in acquiring critical thinking skills and discovering new ways of relating to people from different cultures. ]]> 2020-08-06 21:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671823803 svargas101 https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671828296 The basic part of communication in the nervous system is the nerve cell or neuron. Each nerve cell consists of the cell body, which also includes the nucleus, axon, and numerous dendrites. Neurons are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that function to process and pass on information.]]> 2020-08-06 21:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671828296 svargas101 https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671835935 This artifact is when Portugal ruled the seas. It was Portugal that kicked off what has become the Age of discovery, in the mid-1400s. The westernmost country Europe, Portugal was the first to probe the Atlantic Ocean, colonizing the Azures and other nearby islands, then facing the the west of Africa. ]]> 2020-08-06 21:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/svargas101/db69imvbc5ymp5qs/wish/671835935
