A person who is adept in the knowledge of political science is often referred to by the name
political scientist. On the other hand, a person who is adept in politics and administration is
often called by the name, politician.
The Five Ws, Five Ws and one H, 5W1H, or the Six Ws are questions whose answers are

Nerve Cell
We all respond to the external stimulations. We withdraw our hands if we came in contact with
the hot substances. Even a single celled amoeba, if poked with a fine glass needle, it responds to
stimulation by withdrawing its pseudopodia. This reaction is caused by our nerve cells.
A human body is made up f number of cells. A nerve cell is defined as the cells of nervous
system, which controls all types of body activities. The nerve cells are specialized cells, which
transmits message from one part to another part of the body. All cellular organisms have evolved
a coordinating system by which messages can be received and transmitted very rapidly to
organs, enabling them to respond to an environmental change. The system which is responsible
for this process is called as nervous system. The functional units of nervous system are nerve
cell.
Types of Nerve Cells
Nerve cells are classified based on the type of the message they transmits
Sensory nerve cell - The nerve cell that transfer the information about stimuli such as light, heat
or chemicals from both inside and outside of our body to our central nervous system.
Motor nerve cell 0- The nerve cell that passes the instructions from our central nervous system
to other parts of our body. For example to muscles or to our glands
Association nerve cell- The nerve cell, which connects to our sensory and motor neurons.
Nerve Cell FunctionBack to Top
Communication and coordination,
Sensory nerves, which carries the message to brain.
Allows us to react to a stimulus.
They conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.
It carries messages from other neurons to a cell body.
A receptor cell receives the stimulus and this generates electrical activity in a neighboring nerve
cell. The afferent or sensory neuron conducts a specific effector system, which may be a muscle
or a gland.
Nerve Cell StructureBack to Top
The shape and the sizes of the nerve cells vary as they are small, big and thus the size keeps on
varying. Compare to other cells in our body, the nerve cells also have quite similar structures like
- cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome and endoplasmic reticulum.
Nerve Cell Parts and Functions
Dendrites - A branching fibers with a surface lined with synaptic receptors, which is responsible
for receiving the information from other neurons. It also collects and stores all incoming
information from axon terminals.
Axon - It carries the impulses away from the cell.
Soma - It contains the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, and other structures found in nerve
cells. It is also responsible for the metabolic work of the neuron.
Presynaptic Terminals - They are the end points of an axon, which is responsible for releasing
chemicals to communicate with other neurons.
Caesar Salad
Ingredients
8 leaves romaine lettuce, cleaned and separated
cup parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Egg yolks from 2 pieces raw eggs
A dash of ground black pepper
A dash of salt
cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1. Combine garlic and olive oil in a large mixing bowl then whisk. Allow to sit for 15 minutes for the
garlic juices to mix well with the oil.
2. Put-in the egg yolks and then whisk until properly distributed.
3. Add-in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice then mix well.
4. Put-in half of the parmesan cheese then whisk until the texture become smooth.
5. Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-size pieces then place them in the large bowl with the rest of the
mixture.
6. Toss the leaves to evenly distribute the mixture.
7. Add the croutons and the remaining parmesan cheese then toss once more.
8. Transfer to a salad plate then pour-in your favorite salad dressing on top.
