1. Endocrine System -- Nervous System
   The endocrine system is a complex network of chemical signals and messages that control many immediate and life-long bodily responses and functions. Growing taller, developing male or female characteristics and reacting to fear are all partially directed by endocrine hormones. All animals with backbones — from fish to mammals — have an endocrine system that works hand-in-hand with the nervous system to:
2. Methamphetamine -- Central Nervous System
   Methamphetamine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant. The drug is made easily in clandestine laboratories with relatively inexpensive, over-the-counter ingredients. These factors combine to make methamphetamine a drug with high potential for widespread abuse. It is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol.
3. Neurophysiology
   Neurophysiology is a broad field of study because many different levels are involved in the overall functioning of the nervous system and its components. For example, the transmission of a nervous impulse across the synapses, or the cleft that connects nerve cells, involves chemical reactions at the cellular level of organization. Understanding how messages are relayed from the brain to the hand is best explained at the system level. This involves studying the relationship and pathways between the brain and the organs of the body and the nerves that connect them, both sensory, meaning nerves that receive input from sensors, and motor, meaning the nerves that activate muscle. Thus, neurophysiology studies nervous function ranging from individual nerve cells to the complex behaviors of the central nervous system. Additionally, the nervous system not only functions at the cell and system levels of organization, but ... at a mechanistic level, that involves the study of the control or regulatory processes that occur.
4. Muscles -- Nerves
   Contractures result when the muscles are unable to relax. The constant spasms are caused by a depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy chemical within the cell. This prevents muscle fiber relaxation. The nerves are inactive in this form of muscle spasm.
5. Multiple Sclerosis -- Brain
   Multiple sclerosis affects neurons, the cells of the brain and spinal cord that carry information, create thought and perception, and allow the brain to control the body. Surrounding and protecting some of these neurons is a fatty layer known as the myelin sheath, which helps neurons carry electrical signals. MS causes gradual destruction of myelin (demyelination) and transection of neuron axons in patches throughout the brain and spinal cord. The name multiple sclerosis refers to the multiple scars (or scleroses) on the myelin sheaths. This scarring causes symptoms which vary widely depending upon which signals are interrupted.
6. Xanax -- Treatment
   Xanax ( Alprazolam ) is an anti-anxiety agent benzodiazepine used primarily for short-term relief of mild to moderate anxiety and nervous tension. Alprazolam is ... effective in the treatment of activity depression or panic attacks. It can also be useful in treating irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety due to a neurosis. Xanax ( Alprazolam ) may help the symptoms of PMS if extreme, and, if given with various narcotics, the pain from some cancers. Xanax ( Alprazolam ) is used to relieve anxiety, nervousness, and tension associated with anxiety disorders, agoraphobia, essential tremor, fibromyalgia ( low dosage ), and ringing ears.
7. Provigil -- Systemic Symptoms
   The most common side effects of Provigil are headache and nausea. Other side effects, while rarer, are important to watch for, as they can mimic or exacerbate other MS symptoms. These include:
8. Medication -- Children
   As with any medication, stimulant adhd medication used in treating ADHD can produce adverse side effects in some children. These can include: sleep difficulties, stomach aches, headaches, appetite reduction, drowsiness, irritability, nervousness, and excessive staring among others. In rare cases, stimulant medication can lead to nervous tics, hallucinations, and bizarre behavior.
9. Chiropractic -- Spine
   Chiropractic is a hands-on, manual therapy, that can achieve great results for many conditions. In fact if you review the most recent literature from recognized journals in conventional medicine (Spine, British Journal of Medicine) Chiropractic is considered to be the best choice for treating back pain.
10. Spider -- Body
    The two sections of the spider body are called the Prosoma or Cephalothorax, which is the head region, and the Opisthosoma or Abdomen which is the rest of the body. They are connected by the thin pedicel. The exoskeleton of the prosoma is normally quite hard whereas that of the opisthosoma is normally quite soft and flexible. The prosoma is covered on the top by a plate called the Carapace and below by a separate plate called Sternum. The opisthosoma is normally unsegmented, (unlike the abdomen of insects) except in some of the Mesothelae, and it carries the spinnerets at its far end.
