of the spinal cord and the brain. The spinal cord takes messages sent form the neurons and deliver them to the brain. The spinal cord is essentially like a mail man‚ or a phone to send a text message. The brain is the most important part of the human body and is very similar to a parent telling a child (in the case the neuron) what to do. The brain takes the messages given by the spinal cord from the neurons and figures out what needs to happen. Then the brain sends a message using the spinal cord

five vertebrae (L1–L5)‚ sometimes including the sacrum. In between these vertebrae are fibro cartilaginous discs‚ which act as cushions‚ preventing the vertebrae from rubbing together while at the same time protecting the spinal cord. Nerves come from and go to the spinal cord through specific openings between the vertebrae‚ providing the skin with sensations and messages to muscles. Stability of the spine is provided by the ligaments and muscles of the back and abdomen. Small joints called facet

Split cord malformation‚ which is also known as (Diastematomyelia) is a rare congenital anomaly and a relatively one form of occult spinal dysraphism. Split spinal cord accounts for 5% of overall spinal cord congenital defects.(2) Diastematomyelia is characterized as a sagittal cleft that separates the spinal cord along with the posterior vertebral components at varying levels such as‚ Conus Medullaris and Filum Terminale. Diastematomyelia is caused by an Osseous‚ cartilaginous‚ or fibrous septum

Ruptured discs‚ Spinal stenosis‚ Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and Ankylosing spondylitis (4). I will define these back problems for you in the following sentences. Injuries or strains can be brought on from being overworked or deconditioned. Osteoarthritis is excess wear and tear on the spinal discs caused by aging. Ruptured discs are created when wear and tear on the spine causes the intervertebral disc to bulge out. Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. Diffuse

Anatomy and Physiology P5/M2 - Homeostasis Homeostasis is the need for an organism or a cell to regulate its internal environment (conditions within the fluid surrounding its body cells) by a system of feedback controls to stabilise health and functioning despite the outside changing conditions. This is important as this is what maintains and helps internal conditions (body temperature) to remain stable and constant. In humans homeostasis happens when the body regulates its body temperature in
