There are eight cervical nerves (C1 being an exception with no dermatome)‚ twelve thoracic nerves‚ five lumbar nerves and five sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation (including pain) from a particular region of skin to the brain. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human‚ each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the

Aging is a process that all humans must go through‚ and as life expectancy increases it becomes more important to understand the intimate details to normal aging process. Maintaining health is very important to this process‚ the older a person becomes the more medical services is needed. Since aging is a process that begins when you are conceived and continues for as long as we live out life span‚ our body reflects genetic components and environmental experience. So in a genetic way our bodies
