intent of this paper is to show how nurses use the theoretical principles in practice. Neurogenic bladder problems are seen in spinal cord injury patients. An article from the Journal of Nursing stated that each year about 11‚000 people are affected by spinal cord injuries in United States. A number of cases have spinal tumors which may cause compression of the spinal nerves and cancer patients who have undergone sacrectomies‚ all end up with neurogenic bladder. This neurogenic bladder problems

Cranial Nerves The brain and spinal cord (CNS) are connected to parts of the body by nerves and cell bodies called the peripheral nervous system. The PNS contains all of the nervous tissue outside the brain and spinal cord. Afferent (sensory) nerve fibers-conduct nerve impulses toward the CNS Efferent (motor) nerve fibers-conduct nerve pulses away Sensory Somatic System – Carries nerve impulses from the senses to the CNS and also carries the impulses to the skeletal muscles and glands

Diseases Attacking Athletes There has been many diseases that humans were able to overcome throughout the year and even now there are treatments for cancer‚ however; there are also diseases that has no cure and doctors do not even know what causes these diseases to appear in the first place. AlS and CTE are just a few diseases that have no explanation or reason to appear in the body or brain. ALS and CTE are so common that anyone in the world could be diagnosed at any time. So common‚ yet the doctors

nervous system divisions. The sympathetic division has thoracolumbar “outflow”‚ meaning that the neurons begin at the thoracic and lumbar (T1-L2) portions of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic division has craniosacral “outflow”‚ meaning that the neurons begin at the cranial nerves (CN 3‚ CN7‚ CN 9‚ CN10) and sacral (S2-S4) spinal cord. The ANS is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating

They have their cell bodies in the brain stem and the spinal cord‚ and their axons extend from the motor nuclei of the cranial nerves to skeletal muscles. These motor neurons synapse with the upper motor neurons‚ carrying on the nerve impulses that the upper motor neurons are carrying. Motor neurons descend the spinal cord in tracts. These tracts are for the conduction of nerve impulses. The sensory tracts ascend towards the brain‚ and

The central part is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral part of the nervous system is said to be peripheral because it is outside the central nervous systems. The human nervous system contains approximately 10 billion nerve cells. These neurons are the basic building blocks of the

nervous system being unable to differentiate between the two areas due to synapsing at the same point at the dorsal horn (DH).1 The convergence theory is based on separate afferents converging from local and distant areas onto the same neuron in the spinal cord.2 Limitations to this theory is that the pain should be bi-directional & should occur at the same time. Due to both of the afferents converging on the same neuron a noxious stimulus in one area should trigger pain in the other this is not the case
