The vertebral column also provides attachment points for the muscles of the back and ribs. The vertebral disks serve as shock absorbers during activities such as walking‚ running‚ and jumping. They also allow the spine

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

function in both the upper and lower extremities as well as the trunk as a result of an injury to the spinal cord.1 The spinal cord is a component of the central nervous system (CNS) along with the brain and runs within a protective‚ bony-structured vertebral column from the foramen magnum to approximately the second lumbar vertebra of an adult where the it becomes the conus medullaris. The spinal cord is about 17 inches long and has three protective layers like the brain: the outer dura mater‚ the

Together with the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the other major portion of the nervous system‚ the CNS coordinates the body’s interaction with the environment. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity‚ with the brain in the cranial subcavity (the skull)‚ and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity (within the vertebral column).

Frida Kahlo (1907-54)‚ whose body and biography were her chief subjects‚ mythologized them into a revealing life epic. Her paintings tell stories-intimate‚ engaging‚ terrifying‚ and tragic ones. When she abandoned hope in her daily life‚ Kahlo embedded her despair within paintings‚ which‚ by virtue of their very existence‚ act as the artist’s envoys in search of salvation‚ or something like it. At times archaizing and romantic‚ at times brutally immediate‚ Kahlo’s subjects impose stasis on history

It is where our personalities and moods and emotions come from. * The brain of a human being makes up about one-fiftieth of

consists of many structures. We distinguish between the central- and the peripheral nervous system. The two major subdivisions of the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord‚ which is found in the spinal column. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves outside the brain and the spinal cord. The spinal cord communicates with all the sense organs and muscles except those of the head. It is compromised of grey matter which is densely packed with cell bodies and dendrites and

The Central Nervous System The central nervous system (CNS) is the processing center for the nervous system and it controls the bodies movements (Bailey‚ Regina 2016). The brain and the spinal cord are the two main organs that communicate with the central nervous system. Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by 3 layers of tissue; much like guards. They are called the meninges. The Brain The brain is the central part of the central nervous system and it is protected by a hard
