Also‚ there has been a disruptions of the sympathetic fibers of his autonomic nervous system therefore it can no longer stimulate the heart. Allen likely has spinal shock. 2.

Scoliosis is one of three main types of spine curvature disorders. Like a disease on the spinal curvature twisting and resulting in the sideway curves of the spine. It is defined as a lateral‚ or a side-to-side deviation from the normal frontal axis of the body. Scoliosis is similar to Lordosis‚ which also been named the swayback‚ for example when the spine of a person with lordosis curves significantly inward at the lower back. Kyphosis another characterized by an abnormally rounded upper back (more

Structure of the Vertebrate Nervous System • The medulla: – Located just above the spinal cord and could be regarded as an enlarged extension of the spinal cord. – responsible for vital reflexes such as breathing‚ heart rate‚ vomiting‚ salivation‚ coughing and sneezing. • Cranial nerves allow the medulla to control sensations from the head‚ muscle movements in the head

Chordates Reginald Bushner February 15‚ 2013 1 Abstract The word chordate originates from the word chorda or cord. Chordates are a very large group of animals with backbones. These animals have backbones or spines and inside are spinal cords‚ and an internal skeleton as part of their nervous system. It is believed that chordates have originated from invertebrates. It is difficult to determine from which invertebrate group the chordates were developed. Chordate ancestors were soft

functional disorder associated with the fixation (tethering) effect of inelastic tissue on the caudal spinal cord‚ limiting its movement. This abnormal attachment is associated with progressive stretching and increased tension of the spinal cord as a child ages‚ potentially resulting in a variety of neurological and other symptoms. Due to the variation of the growth rate of the spinal cord and the spinal column‚ the progression of neurological signs and symptoms is highly variable. Some individuals present
