Nervous System and Neurons

The brain and spinal cord receive, process, and transmit information through electrical impulses.
Nerve impulses in the human body are produced by the action potential generated in neurons.
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the nervous system, playing a crucial role in communication and reflex actions.

Electrophysiology

The field that studies the interaction between electricity and biological systems is called electrophysiology.
Electrophysiology encompasses the investigation of nerve impulses and muscle contractions as electrical phenomena.

Astronomy and Newton’s Laws

Newton’s laws of motion help explain Kepler's Laws of planetary motion, specifically the law of universal gravitation.
Kepler’s Laws describe the motion of planets around the sun, providing insight into orbital mechanics.

Gravitational Force

Gravity is the force responsible for keeping objects in orbit around others, such as planets around stars or moons around planets.
This fundamental force dictates the movement and stability of celestial bodies in the universe.

Radiation in Astronomy

Astronomers study radiation from space objects to gather information about their composition, distance, and motion.
Telescopes utilized by astronomers are designed to detect various forms of radiation, such as visible light, radio waves, and other electromagnetic wavelengths.
