Spinal cord are two major components of the Central Nervous System (CNS), which controls all movement we make. Parkinson's Disease is a disorder of the Central Nervous System. People suffering from Parkinson's disease lack the ability to control motor function which cause them to lack balance and have shaky hands. By identifying the cause, symptoms and treatments of Parkinson’s, a conclusion on how Parkinson’s Disease effects the Central Nervous System can be made. The basal ganglia is the very…
Introduction With each case study, I will explore and analyze the various scenarios and the impact the ailments have on the nervous system. Each scenario has its own effect on areas of neurons, the method of sending and receiving neurotransmitters, and the lasting effects of the impaired neurons. Case Study 1: Amy Amy burns her finger while cooking dinner. The natural response for someone that touches something hot is to pull their hand away from the heat.

This chain is called a reflex, which is meant to be a fast reaction to stimuli. It does not even reach the brain, going directly from the dorsal root through the spinal cord to the ventral root. Evolution made this system to…
