Spinal stenosis

is present in ten to twenty percent of the population. One or more of the vertebra are not formed properly. (NINDS, 2013, para.4). Closed neural tube defects is the second type and consists of few symptoms that can cause a urinary dysfunction. The spinal cord has ether a malformation of fat, bone, or membranes. (NINDS, 2013, para.5). The third type of spina bifida is meningocele which consists of few symptoms but possibly paralysis. The protective coverings of the spine push out from the spine…

one thing in common, the brain. The brain is the control center for human’s entire body, giving signals at all times on what to do or how to respond. Nerves that connect your body to the brain are responsible for gather information to give to the spinal cord to give to the brain so that it can make sense of the message. The adult brain weighs about 3 pounds, and is made of three major parts: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. The forebrain is divided into three more parts called the cerebrum…

The nervous system is composed of two main parts which are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and nerve cords like the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system includes the motor nerves and sensory nerves.

The neural tube then extends causing the tube to then makes three locales called the primary brain vesicles: prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and the rhombencephalon. The prosencephalon and rhombencephalon…

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…

is known by upper and lower motor neuron degeneration. As the upper motor neurons deteriorate, the cells “suffer from a retrograde axonal loss with secondary myelin pallor and gliosis”. While these changes are more severe at the brainstem and upper spinal cord, they…

at C5. The C5-C6 spinal segment is located just beneath the middle of the cervical spine and helps provide the neck with structural support and flexibility. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae and is located at the base of the skull. Its function is to support the skull, enabling head movements back and forth, and from side to side, as well as protecting the spinal cord. Each cervical has its own functions.
