Meninges

you're shivering or sweating consider it that the hypothalamus is trying its efforts to get your Body to the average temperature. Last of the brain is the cerebrum. The cerebrum is brainy part of the brain. It's also pretty large, taking up 85% of the brain's weight.Additionally the cerebrum controls your voluntary muscles (the muscles that control your the movements if you wish to a action.) the memories that you made live in The cerebrum ( the pair short term and long term). Scientists have…

Spina bifida is a neural tube defect in which parts of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and meninges) do not properly form during embryonic development. It can affect both motor and sensory functions, due to injured spinal nerves. There are four types of spina bifida, ranging from benign to severe. The first type is occulta. It is the most common type and is due to a malformation of one or more vertebrae. It is not a severe type of spina bifida and usually doesn’t cause any…

pregnancy. Spina Bifida is when the neural tube does not close properly, it literally means split spine. Normally, during the first month of a pregnancy, the two sides of the baby's spine join together to cover the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and meninges. Meninges are the tissues covering the spinal cord. The brain and spine at this point are just in the beginning stages of development. It is called the neural tube. Any birth defect involving the incomplete closure of the neural tube is…

Bacterial meningitis is one of the most common infectious diseases affecting neonates (7). It is characterized by the inflammation of the meninges caused by the presence of bacteria or bacterial products within the subarachnoid space of the brain, the spinal cord and the ventricular system (16, 22). This inflammatory response can eventually lead to various forms of brain damage (16, 26). Untreated neonatal bacterial meningitis (NBM) almost always results in death (22), and despite the…

such as fever, chills and shortness of breath. Bacteremia can also cause abdominal pain with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It can also cause the individual to have an altered mental status that causes confusion. When these bacteria reach the meninges it causes meningitis, which affects the covering of the brain and the spinal accord. This can cause seizures and swelling of the tissues around the brain. Signs and symptoms are similar to the previously mentioned infections such as fever,…

a complete blood count (CBC) will be performed. Both of these samples will be analyzed in a laboratory to test if the disease is present in the body. The cultures grown in the lab will determine the particular type of bacteria that has caused the meninges so that the patient can proceed with the correct treatment. The CSF of an individual with bacterial meningitis will often have an increased white blood cell count, elevated protein levels, and lower than normal glucose levels. It is possible to…

The brain and body are more alike than people think. The brain sends signals to the body to do things. Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from very demanding circumstances. When the brain senses danger, right away, it sends nerve signals down to the spinal cord to the adrenal glands. This tells them to release the hormone called adrenaline. Once this adrenaline is released, it raises a person's blood pressure and increases your heart rate. The hypothalamus…

Decreased LOC occurs when the heart can’t overcome the pressure in the brain to deliver blood and oxygen to the cerebral tissues. In a healthy individual, blood, oxygen, and nutrients such as glucose are brought to the brain through both the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid arteries, which branch off from the aorta. The brain requires about 20% of the body’s cardiac output. The internal carotid arteries branch off into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, which form the anterior…
