The cell surface membrane is permeable to certain substances, thereby allowing an exchange of nutrients and gases to take place between the interior of the cell and the fluid surrounding it. Inside the cell is the nucleus, which has a membrane of its own and is surrounded by an intracellular fluid called the c...")

Receives sensory information from the skin through bundles of long nerve fibers, called axons, and transforms it into coordinated motor commands that are relayed to the muscles for action through other bundles of nerves ** Spinal cord - contains the machinery needed for simple reflex behaviors. ** Brain stem - conveys sensory information to higher...")

The deeper a mental function lies below the surface, the less accessible it is to consciousness. There are three interacting psychic agencies that differ in cognitive style, goal, and function: * The ego (I or autobiographical self) is the executive agency, and it has both a ** conscious component in direct contact with the external world through the sensory apparatus for sight, sound, and touch....")
