Spinal cord

the surgeries, and diagnostics treatment of the peripheral and central nervous system, which is the spine, nerves, and brain, this including trauma, tumors, vascular disorders, strokes, certain birth defects, and infections of the brain and the spinal cord. If you go and see a neureologist and they see a tumor in the brain, they will then send you to a neurosurgeon and they will…

endangered his NFL career. After all the procedures that the doctors did manning could not throw a football.

The Causes and Effects of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is, by definition a “chronic, typically progressive disease involving damage to the sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, whose symptoms may include numbness, impairment of speech and of muscular coordination, blurred vision, and severe fatigue.” (Oxford Dictionaries, Multiple Sclerosis). We have an understanding of the immune system, whose purpose is to protect the body and fight against diseases. With multiple…

that is found in the brain and spinal cord. It is produced by the choroid plexuses of the ventricle of the brain. It protects the cortex of the brain providing many mechanical protections. Also, it provides immunological to the brain in the skull. The brain produces about 500ml of cerebral spinal fluid which circulates and gets reabsorbed (Peterson et al, 2011). At any moment, only100-160ml is present. In a case of complete blockage of the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid, it leads to…

not cured. In order for scoliosis to be treated, decisions have to be made. The skeletal maturity of the patient and the degree of the spine curve. The reasons for scoliosis are unknown, unless the cases include spinal cord injury, family history of scoliosis, inadequate formation of spinal bones during birth, or a neurological disorder. For example, Orthopediatrics states that a specific cause of scoliosis is unknown or idiopathic. Idiopathic scoliosis…

aware of the knife-edge we live on”. In order for the human body to function correctly, the central nervous system, endocrine, and peripheral nervous system must all work together properly. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It’s responsibility is to integrate sensory information and respond appropriately. The separate function for the brain is to coordinate body…

gives the skeletal support and is found in between the digestive tube and nerve cord. In some animal chordates lifetimes it is the main axial support in the body. The dorsal hollow nerve cord is the only feature unique to all chordates. It is located at the top of the animal, above the notochord. During the development of the nerve cord the ectoderm rolls into a hollow tube. The nerve cord grows into the brain and spinal cord of most chordates which means it is part of the central nervous…

sneezing. What Causes This Condition? There are many different causes of this condition. All of them involve causing damaged to the lumbar region of the back. Spinal disks are intended to cushion and support the spine so that it remains flexible. A ruptured or herniated disc can cause this cushioning effect to stop. As humans age, the spinal discs naturally begin to deteriorate. They may become more brittle, dry out or take on a flatter shape. Over time, tiny tears in the discs can cause…

duct that conveys sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts. Ductus deferens is about 45 cm (18 in.) in length. The right and left vas deferens are connected to each side of the epididymis and it travels from epididymis through the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity and behind the urinary bladder. The mucosa of vas deferens contains pseudostratified columnar epithelium and lamina propria. The muscularis is made up of 3 layers of smooth muscles which include the inner and outer…

diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. Some care tasks include diagnosis of fractured bones, dislocated joints, compressed spinal cords, and other problems. They treat patients with medications, exercise therapy, or surgery. Also to explain surgical procedures to patients. Common surgeries include knee or hip replacement, spinal fusion, and rotator cuff…
