in order to explain the apoptotic nature of mutant SOD1 (Pasinelli et al. 2004). The methods that were used involve in vitro approaches and Western blot analysis. The outcomes were that mutant SOD1 and Bcl-2 interact with each other in vivo in the spinal cord, and they both together are pro-apoptotic (Pasinelli et al. 2004). In other words, Bcl-2 was an anti-apoptotic protein when standing alone, and when it directly interacted with mutant SOD1, the protein and the gene convert to pro-apoptosis,…

myelopathy is a degenerative disease of cervical spinal. The onset is usually insidious, with long periods of fixed disability and episode of worsening of events are taking place. Concerning to the pathophysiology of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, the injuries which are frequently repeated to the spinal cord are caused by static mechanical factor, dynamic mechanical factor and spinal cord ischemia. These factors are responsible for affecting the spinal cord through direct or indirect trauma…

Walking is assisted by the brain, spinal cord, muscles, reflexes and receptors. The act of walking begins from brain and spinal cord which is the planning on how to walk. More precisely, it starts from the cerebral cortex. Cerebral cortex is the region of decision-making and it initiates voluntary response, in this case, the act of walking. Basal ganglia are also responsible for voluntary locomotion. It requires the knowledge of the body’s position in space (where am I walking to) and what…

sections: The axial skeleton, 80 bones that comprise the head, neck, and trunk Theappendicular skeleton, 126 bones that form the extremities. Functions • The skeletal system provides protection for many of the vital organs, such as the heart, brain, and spinal cord. • The skeleton provides support for the soft tissues so that erect posture and the form of the body can be…

Neurons can be grouped together to form nerves, which are the primary organizational structures in one major branch of the nervous system, the peripheral nervous system. This is in contrast to the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system can be sub divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, the latter of which can be further sub divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous…

The process that is used by nurses and clinicians to consider a patient situation, collect data, process this data, make goals and implement interventions, evaluate outcomes and then finally, reflect on the learning outcomes from this process, is known as clinical reasoning (Hoffman, 2007). Clinical reasoning cycle is the tool that is used for the process of clinical reasoning. This paper will discuss management of Motor neurone disease using the clinical reasoning cycle as a framework. However,…

Comparing with other disabilities, diseases, spinal cord injury is a critical disorder in worldwide. Physiology and anatomy The spinal cord(SC) is a grayish-white structure that begins superiorly at the foramen magnum in the skull, where it is continuous with the medulla obolongata of the brain. It terminates at the level of the lower border of the first lumbar vertebra. The spinal cord is located within the vertebral canal of the vertebral column, which is surrounded by three meninges: the…

Locked-in syndrome causes complete paralysis with the exception of eye movement, however the patient is completely conscious and aware of surroundings (Pistoia et al., 2016). According to Pistoia et al., (2016), due to the disconnection of the cortex and spinal cord in…

the environment. Neurons are known as the messengers of the body. They are the nerve cells that send messages through the nervous system, while the nerve impulses send coded electrical signals from the neuron. The motor neurons carry the brain and spinal cord impulses, to the muscles and the glands, while the sensory…

One of the major channels of the spinal cord is the spinothalamic tract; a sensory pathway. It conveys nerve impulses for sensing pain, warmth, coolness, itching, tickling, deep pressure, and crude touch. (Tortora, 2014-01-22, p. 461). Based on that description and as the name implies, information will travel from the region of stimulation on the skin to the CNS, ultimately landing at its destination at the thalamus; thus, making it an ascending pathway. This pathway is further divided into…
