Cord blood

normality of a spinal cord is to have functional spinal nerves, strong protective connective tissue and vertebras. Certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) will have an impact with the spinal structure and its functions. Part of the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord help assist the brain to carry out every day routines. The spinal cord is significant structure in the body that is 45 centimeters in length. The spinal cord is part of a…

intervertebral foramina, or the intervertebral spaces. The condition is degenerative and widespread, affecting approximately five in every one thousand people (Hsiang, 2015). This report aims to describe the anatomy of the vertebral column and spinal cord, relating changes in anatomy to the development and presentation of spinal stenosis. Within this discussion, the report includes a comparison of the types of spinal stenosis and their respective signs, symptoms and complications. 1. Spinal…

Care of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Spinal cord injury is an event that changes a person’s life forever. The classifications of spinal cord injuries are concussion, compression, contusion, laceration, and transection. Injury can be complete or incomplete (Nayduch., 2010). The type and location of the spinal cord injury will determine the care and management of the patient and subsequent complications that arise from the injury. The research will focus on evidenced-based medical, surgical…

ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive disorder that is inherited or acquired. It affects motor neurons. Motor neurons are cells that are in the brain, brain stem and spinal cord and their function is to carry an electrical signal to a muscle and trigger it to contract or relax. Medical terminology, a means without, my is muscle and trophic is nourishment. Lateral is pertaining to the side/direction that is affected and sclerosis is an abnormal condition of hardening. It was…

system is the main system involved in this case study. He damaged the lumbar region of his back. The possible consequences for a spinal cord injury can lead to inability to walk, changes in reflexes, muscle spasms, neurogenic bladder, and paraplegia. The prevalence of this injury happens to about 10,000 people each year. Trauma is the most common cause for spinal cord injury. Males happen to be more affected by SCI in ages between 16 and 30 years old. 9 percent of injuries occur in people that…

The human body consists of two nervous systems: Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord, whereas, the PNS consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The PNS connects the rest of the body to the CNS. The PNS are grouped into two categories, sensory (afferent) nerves and motor (efferent) nerves. Sensory nerves convey information from receptors to the CNS. Motor nerves convey information from the CNS to the…

information from the brain and spinal cord, while the efferent nerves have to do with the muscles in our body. It also contains two divisions called the central or peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains only the brain and the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system connects both the brain and the spinal cord to other parts of the body. The peripheral also carries out information and brings in information from the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral is divided…

They make up the nerves, which is how the body functions. If the nerves are destroyed, then so is the body. The nerves are centered around the spine, so when someone has a spinal cord injury, that is how they become paralyzed. When someone hurts themselves, the wound heals. However, nerve cells do not heal the same way. There is a protein in the brain that helps to prevent nerve cells from dividing on their own. This protein may…

hope. Two diseases that are similar and yet so dissimilar are Transverse myelitis and Optic neuritis. Both diseases are neurological and known to be connected to MS (multiple sclerosis). MS is a disease in which the nerves of your brain and spinal cord are inflamed and damaged. Optic neuritis is the inflammation of the optic nerve, which is the nerve that connects what a person to sees to their brain. Transverse myelitis is inflammation that can cause severe injury in…

the females are carriers, while each boy having a 50% chance of inheriting, which makes it a recessive disorder with the symptoms not emerging in the females. Current technology has helped our medical facilities to test for the disorder by using blood samples, which can be accurate for determining if someone is going to be a carrier or will show the signs of the disorder later on in their life. Previously, the testing of the inherited disorder was with the symptoms, which lead to misdiagnosing…
