Central nervous system

For our organ system project, we decided to research the nervous system. The nervous system includes the brain, the spinal cord, and the peripheral nerves. It is a complex collection of nerves and neurons which carry messages to different parts of the body. The nervous system is responsible for responses of the body to environmental changes. The Nervous system is made up of two components: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system entails the brain…

While some scientific researchers have failed to find any evidence that chiropractic treatment works for many conditions of the spine, those who specialize in spinal manipulation have found evidence that it indeed does have beneficial success. Chiropractors are hands on doctors that specialise in the alignment of the musculoskeletal structure mainly the spine but, can also align arms, shoulders, hips and legs. Chiropractic treatments are recommended when looking to find pain relief of the joints…

they are: ● The cerebral cortex, ● Limbic system, ● The cerebellum ● and the brain stem The cerebral cortex The cerebral cortex is split into two cerebral hemispheres (the left and right hemispheres). Sometimes…

identity is to be founded on consciousness rather than on substance with his case of the prince and the cobbler. In this modified version of the case to fit modern understanding of consciousness, the central nervous system of a prince is relocated into the body of the cobbler. The central nervous system carries all of the mental characteristics and thoughts of the prince into the new body, so that he still considers himself as the prince and can remember experiences had in the previous body.…

weeks of pregnancy are some of the most crucial. When a mother drinks, the alcohol in her blood goes into the placenta and is consumed by the baby. The fetus has trouble metabolizing the alcohol, due to the under developed liver and remains in the system a lot longer than in it does in the mothers (Siegler). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders can be broken down into four different sub categories. FAS, Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (PFAS), Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ARND), and…

afternoon around 2:30, you 're just sitting at home watching television and life is slowly just passing you by. Even as drift slowly into a stagnant and passive state, your brain is still constantly at work using apart of the nervous system called the automatic nervous system . Your brain is one of the most important parts of your body, it tells every other part of your body what to do, whether we are aware of it or not. So as you sit idle on your couch staring into a picture box, your brain is…

(MS) is one the deadliest diseases that effects the brain, spine and the central nervous system (CNS). MS is a progressive immune-mediated disease that has an onset stage between ages 20-40 which is affecting 2.5 million people globally (Burke, Hooper, Barlow & Hatter (2013). The onset of multiple sclerosis attacks the immune system which slows down the communication of the brain to the other parts of the body. The immune system begins to breakdown leading to the nerve deterioration that can be…

Cerebral Palsy is a disorder of the nervous system that is caused by abnormalities and damage to one or more specific areas of the brain. This damage occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when a child’s brain is developing. Research has determined what kind of brain and central nervous system damage occurs when someone has cerebral palsy as well as the symptoms that correlate with each injury and the effective treatment options to manage this chronic condition. Muscle coordination…

diseases known to mankind that remains incurable. When trying to learn about multiple sclerosis (MS), it’s important to understand its history, the area of the body affected and how it’s affected, and how to cope with it. Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system (CNS) targeting disease. The physical result of multiple sclerosis includes scarring on the brain known as “plaques”. Due to those plaques, MS’s symptoms can vary depending on which portion of the brain is affected. Historians…

important role to have a healthy physiological and anatomical system. Dividing into which part of the body they control most, they create the organ systems that are the nervous, respiratory, articulatory, digestive, endocrine, and the cardiovascular system. The neurological, or the nervous, system is our control system that regulates impulses, chemicals, and commands to the body through the Central Nervous System (CNS) or the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is composed of the brain,…
