Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

But recent research into regeneration mechanism of the central nervous system‚ The discovery of stem cells in the adult brain can give rise to new neurons and neural support cells‚ has raised hopes

Neurogenic shock is a type of shock that is caused by a spinal cord injury that affects important nerves in the nervous system. Injury to the nervous system causes the walls of blood vessels to relax‚ which increases the blood pressure. Neurogenic shock mainly affects the spinal cord. The spinal cord consists of nerves that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Neurogenic shock occurs when a spinal cord injury happens‚ particularly involving the region of

INTRODUCTION Pediatric nursing or child health nursing is the specialty nursing care of infants‚ children and adolescents. Pediatric nursing is an excellent career for those who love kids and don’t mind hard work. The day of a pediatric nurse can be hectic‚ working with patients that range from newborns to teenagers. No two days are ever the same. Pediatric nurses work mostly on the pediatric halls in hospitals‚ although some may also work in a doctor’s office. The work involved

Spinal Cord- The spinal cord is a long‚ thin‚ tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the brain (the medulla oblongata specifically). The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. It is around 45 cm (18 in) in men and around 43 cm (17 in) long in women. Also

An MRI can be done to confirm a diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation‚ but the results most likely will not alter the plan to care. 3) Lumbar Spinal Stenosis- a progressive narrowing of the spinal canal causing bulging of the hardened disc into the spinal canal. Why?- The is diagnosis is characterized by leg pain greater than back pain which worsen with standing and walking and improves with rest or when the spine is flexed. The patient has a
