Spinal fusion

sending messages to the spinal cord and brain to and from all parts of the body. Main organs of the nervous system are Nervous Tissue, Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, Sense Organs, and the Cerebrospinal Fluid. The nervous tissue is the main tissue of the central and peripheral nervous system. This tissue conducts nerve impulses and is composed of neurons. The brain sends messages to the spinal cord the peripheral nerves all over the body that serve to control organs and muscles. The spinal cord is a…

3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…

What does the term neroglia mean? What are the 4 types of neuroglia cells in the CNS? Discuss this in detail. Neuroglia is a group of cells, in the nervous tissue that supports neurons that keeps the nervous system functioning and together. The 4 types of neuroglis cells of the CNS: (1.) Astrocytes are cells that support and structure cells that is a barrier for the brain through blood. (2.) Microglial cells are cells that remove dirt and attack microbes. (3.) Ependymal cells are cells that…

the brain and the spinal cord, the central nervous system is one of the three parts of the nervous system in human body. This system is responsible for information and action processing. It coordinates the response to a stimulus by integrating sensory information and responding properly in the environment. The brain, as the control center of human body, interprets the sensory information (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) from all parts of the body. On the other hand, the spinal cord is in…

through the process of repetitive learning. After a focal brain injury, the degree of damage to the corticospinal tract correlates to the ability to recover motor function. If the pathway from the primary motor cortex to the motor neurons in the spinal cord is disrupted, secondary motor areas of the brain will be recruited. Secondary motor areas are less numerous and less excitatory; therefore, they will contribute to motor recovery, but will not provide exact substitutions for projections…

thoughts and actions from the brain and spinal cord to a body part(s).The nervous system is made up of two parts- the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is a system outside the brain and spinal cord and it connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body. The central nervous system controls the activities of the body, meaning that it makes all the decisions; this incorporates the brain and spinal cord. I found the peripheral…

1. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. Neurons communicate through synapses. The nervous system transmits all messages to the brain. The messaging process moves in one direction to the cell body, where the cell body transmits an electrical pulse to the neurotransmitter this creates an impulse. 2. Throughout the normal day you use multiple parts of your brain. An activity that uses more than ten parts of your brain at once is if you hold your hand over a flame. Your Frontal…

is a pathological process in which neurons are damaged or killed due to the excessive stimulation of certain neurotransmitters such as glutamate. This process of excitotoxic neuronal death is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of brain and/or spinal cord injury associated with multiple human diseases such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). (2) ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that involves both the upper and lower motor neurons. Glutamate excitotoxicity is one of three…

Visualize a disease that leaves its victims powerless but are completely aware of everything that is in sight and the state the body is in. With every intention to move, the victim has no control over the body’s muscles, for not a single finger is lifted nor a smile displayed. Such a disease does exist and has affected many lives worldwide. This awful illness is named ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. With many diseases in the world, countless terrible…

casualty experiencing head/ spinal injuries would be best to: Identify head and spinal injury/possibilities • Unconsciousness - This occurs if the casualty is not responding to Aid being performed • Disorientation - Is caused when the casualty is unaware or unable to understand or respond clearly • Loss of feeling - This may occur if the spinal cord has been damaged. This may result in short or long term damage to the casualty • Loss of control of limbs - Due to brain or spinal damage the…
