These tend to grow at a very slow rate and usually show no symptoms until the tumor gets relatively large. This is due to the gradual compression of the brain over time. Although benign tumors are not cancerous they can cause serious damage due to the location in the brain or spinal cord. In rare cases‚ about 2% of the

The feelings of pain are conducted through the peripheral nerves‚ through the spinal cord and the brain stem and finally into the brain itself.

Neuron- There is a reddish rounded shape with lighter thin looking branches these are probably the axon terminals or dendrites. I am thinking this is a multipolor neuron. The reddish rounded figure is the nucleus. There are smaller darker dot‚ which I am guessing could be the axons. Spinal Cord Smear- A large purple figure with bundles

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 white

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 to flex and extend. Pathophysiology:

The central nervous system of vertebrates (such as humans) contains the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons‚ clusters of neurons called ganglia‚ and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system. These regions are all interconnected by means
