Its main function is connecting the central nervous system (CNS) with the Effector organs such as the limb muscles. b) Two structures of the central nervous system that are involved in the activity of running are; the brain and the spinal cord.

cleft spine‚ which is an incomplete closure in the spinal column. There are three types of spina bifida and ranges from mild to severe depending on which type you have. Those three types are: 1. Spina Bifida Occulta which is an opening in one or more of the vertebrae (bones) of the spinal column without apparent damage to the spinal cord. 2. Meningocele that is meninges‚ or in laymen ’s terms‚ a protective covering around the spinal cord‚ has pushed out through the opening in the vertebrae

If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the functions of your body‚ then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from it to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body‚ the brain tells the body how to react. For example‚ if you accidentally

Spina Bifida Spina Bifida is a rare birth defect that causes a malfunction in a baby’s spine when it develops. The spinal column is supposed to be closed all the way around‚ but for some children it never fully closes. This allows spinal nerves‚ cords‚ and sacs of fluid that would otherwise be enclosed be exposed. It can lead to serious damage like paralyzation. 8 children are born with this in the United States every day. “SB mostly occurs during first trimester of pregnancy.” Although nobody is

The divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is made of two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS is made up the Somatic nervous system and the automatic system. The somatic nervous contains the peripheral nerve fibers that deliver sensory information to the CNS and motor nerve fibers that go to the skeletal muscle. The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The

Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system‚ affecting the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 400‚000 people in the United States alone. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 40 years of age and is more common in women; men may have a more severe progressive course (Luzzio‚ 2013). Life expectancy is shortened in persons with MS‚ and the survival rate is linked to disability
