Spina Bifida . The word‚ spina bifida is derived from two words; spina meaning spine‚ and the word bifida meaning split or divided. Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs when an embryo’s spinal cord‚ the surrounding nerves and/or spinal column fail to develop. This usually happens during the first month of pregnancy. According the article‚ Working with Spina Bifida‚ a professor by the name of Nicholas Tulp‚ “gave spina bifida its name and gave the first formative description of

in the body. The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli‚ transmit stimuli to nervous centers‚ and to initiate response The nervous system has two distinct parts -- CENTRAL and PERIPHERAL. The central part is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral part of the nervous system is said to be peripheral because it is outside the central nervous systems. The human nervous system contains approximately 10 billion nerve cells. These neurons are the basic building blocks of the

nervous system divisions. The sympathetic division has thoracolumbar “outflow”‚ meaning that the neurons begin at the thoracic and lumbar (T1-L2) portions of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic division has craniosacral “outflow”‚ meaning that the neurons begin at the cranial nerves (CN 3‚ CN7‚ CN 9‚ CN10) and sacral (S2-S4) spinal cord. The ANS is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating

What are the risks of an inadequate bowel and bladder program? A spinal cord injury is a destructive event that occurs to someone and interrupts all aspects of their life‚ it causes paralysis of the body‚ making it difficult for an individual to do the things many people take for granting including their self-care and even the ability to use the bathroom (Atkins‚ 2014).

In humans the nervous system is divided intto CNS or the central nervous system and it is made up of the brain and spinal cord.
