        The nervous system of vertebrates is characterized by a hollow,dorsal nerve cord that ends in the head region as an enlargement,the brain.Even in its most primitive form this cord and its attached verves are the result of evolutionary specialization,abd their further evolution from lower to higher vertebrate classes is a process that is far from fully understood.Nevertheless,the basic arrangements are similar in all vertebrates,and the study of lower animals.Moreover,for any species,the study of the embryological development of the nervous system is indispensable for an understanding of adult morphology.

        In any vertebrate two chief parts of the nervous system may be distinguished.These are the central nervous system(the nerve cord mentions above),consisting of the brain and spinal cord,and the peripheral nervous system,consisting of the cranial,spinal,and peripheral nerves,together with their motor and sensory endings,The term"automatic nervous system"refers to the parts of the central and peripheral systems that supply and regulate the activity of cardiac muscle,smooth muscle,and many glands.

        The nervous system is composed of many millions of  nerve and glial cells,together with blood vessels and a small amount of connective tissue.The nerve cells,or"neurons",are characterized by many processes and are specialized in that they exhibit to a great degree the phenoomena of irritability and conductivity.The glial cells of the central nervous system are supporting cells collectively termed"neuroglia".They are characterized by short processes that have special relationships to neurons,blood vessels,and connective tissue.The comparable cells in the peripheral nervous system are termed"neurilemmal"cells.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
