manifestations of this stroke location would likely be apparent? If she is leaning to the right then the left hemisphere is affected because a stroke is contralateral. Drooling and incontinence suggests damage to the brainstem. The brainstem controls reflexes and autonomic functions of the body including heart rate and blood pressure including our visceral functions such as digestion and urination. (Maybe suggest specifically which part of the brainstem). Lack of motor ability and verbal expression shows frontal

Biology II 30 March 2012 The Comparison of Nervous Systems in Humans‚ Cnidarians‚ Flatworms‚ and Annelids The nervous system is one of the most important organ systems in the body. It is in charge of all of the things that happen within the body. Being responsible for receiving sensory input from internal and external stimuli‚ integrating and processing information‚ and generating output‚ it would be hard to survive without a nervous system; however‚ there are different types of nervous systems

Sweat glands are innervated by small unmyelinated cholinergic sympathetic fibers that could be affected early in the course of diabetes mellitus (38)(50). 1.4.4.4 Skin biopsy can give a dependable quantification of somatic and autonomic small nerve fibers using both bright field immunohistochemistry and indirect immunofluorescence

Muscle tissue Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. There are other movements in the body too which are necessary for the survival of the organism such as the heart beat and the movements of the alimentary canal. Muscles can be divided into three main groups according to their structure * Smooth muscle tissue. * Skeletal muscle tissue. * Cardiac (heart) muscle tissue.

The biological approach attempts to explain all behaviour through biology‚ particularly focusing on genetics‚ neurochemistry and hormonal changes as well as how evolution may have shaped human behaviour. Genes carry the instructions for the development of characteristics like intelligence‚ temperament and height. The main focus on how genetics has influenced our behaviour has looked at genotype and phenotype. Genotype is the genes a person has. Phenotype is the characteristics their genes produce

Running head: SPINAL CORD INJURY Spinal Cord Injury Shannon G. Johnston‚ RN‚ CEN Liberty University Abstract There are many types of spinal cord injuries (SCI). Patients with SCI can symptoms that range from mild neurologic impairment (such as numbness and tingling of extremities or neck pain) to devastating total body paralysis depending on the extent of damage and where in the spinal cord the damage occurs. Management of airway‚ breathing and circulation are key with SCI patients‚ as

tendon which is under the knee cap produces a knee jerk reflex (Bessière et al.‚ 2008). Usually‚ simple reflexes like the myotactic reflexes are produced through single synapses occurring between motor neurons and sensory axons. The required circuitry for this reflex is confirmed in the spinal cord. The sensory information generated is then transferred to the nervous system. More complex reflexes usually involve many inter neurons and a number of motor neurons. This‚ in turn‚ involves more synapses
