Describe the functional anatomy of the spinal cord using the following terms: white matter‚ gray matter‚ tracts‚ roots‚ and spinal nerves. * White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system‚ and it consists of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another as well as in between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies. Unlike white matter

That’s what tinnitus is- hypersensitive listening that detects the noises of the brain. Your ears have become too sensitive. If you have tinnitus‚ the first message is to AVOID SILENCE. It activates a stress response in your system‚ and increases your internal auditory sensitivity. So why are you listening constantly to your tinnitus when most of the

three vocabulary nervous system‚ a collection of hundreds of billions of specialized and interconnected cells through which messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS)‚ made up of the brain and the spinal cord‚ and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the neurons that link the CNS to our skin‚ muscles‚ and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine system‚ the chemical

It is when your immune system mistakes myelin (the coating around nerve fibres) as a foreign body therefore begins to attack it. However‚ myelin is a fatty substance that protects nerve fibres in the central nervous system‚ helping to send messages quickly and smoothly between the brain and the rest of the body. So when
