Imbalance The spine is composed of bones called the vertebrae. The vertebrae purpose is to work with fibers to sort the spinal cord. The vertebrae are classified by main regions called the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacrum and coccyx. When there is an unusual disease affecting the spine by making an arch it is called scoliosis. Scoliosis is mainly now for its shaped S or C in the spinal column. Its twist and rotation‚have cause deformation in different parts of the section of the spine. Scoliosis can

Nervous systems consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves) Brain is divided into 3 major areas 1. Cerebrum Pairs of lobes 2. Brain stem 3. Cerebellum Four lobes are: Frontal-largest lobe‚ concentration‚ abstract thought‚ information storage‚ memory and motor function‚ Broca’s area (motor control of speech)‚ affect‚ judgement‚ personality and inhibitions Parietal- sensory lobe‚ analyzes sensory information

while injuries to the spinal cord and brain do not? Bone tissues can regenerate fairly easy; in the area where the bone has been fractured‚ the bone will work to produce new cells and small blood vessels that will rebuild the bone. The new cells will cover the ends of each broken piece of bone until the gap between the bones has been closed and the bone has been repaired. However‚ like the brain‚ the spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. If the spinal cord is damaged in an accident

Task 1- tissues Tissues are groups of similar cells which have a similar structure and function. All of these cells work together to complete various tasks. There are four different types of tissues in the human body that I am going to give examples of. These include the epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ collagenous tissue and the nerve tissue. The first time of tissue is the epithelium tissue which has the function of helping to protect the body. There are four main types of epithelium tissues;

CM is a congenital anomaly in which parts of the brain protrude through the opening in the base of the skull into the spinal column. Chiari used to be considered a rare disorder‚ although‚ due to advances in modern technology‚ it is said that there is more people diagnosis. One in one thousand children‚ approximately‚ are born with this disorder every year.
