neurons. They are found in the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral ganglia. No two neurons are identical in form; the numerous kinds of neurons differ widely in size and shape. Many have globe-shaped or pyramid-shaped cell bodies; short‚ branching dendrites; and single‚ long axons that branch only at the ends. Neurons may be classified by the direction in which they carry nerve impulses. Afferent‚ or sensory‚ neurons carry nerve impulses to the brain or spinal cord. A stimulus may initiate the impulses

affects the position I work in is that of the large number of patients that do not have healthcare insurance but need to be admitted to our hospital. Many times‚ the patients that come to us are young people in catastrophic accidents who end up with spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries and have no health insurance. These patients must be treated so turning them away is not an option. In my job‚ I have to write up the clinical information about a patient‚ assess the patient and speak to their

The Structure & function of the Autonomic Nervous System Introduction: The organs of our body are controlled by many systems in order to function correctly and efficiently in order to survive within the environment we live in. These include the heart‚ stomach and intestines and other vital organs and body systems. All of the systems in our body are regulated by a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is part of the peripheral nervous system and it controls

underlying problem is corrected. For example in the case of uneven legs orthopedic shoes can be worn. In structural scoliosis the curvature is not flexible it is a fixed curvature in the spine. There could be an underlying problem with the brain or spinal cord. In structural scoliosis there could also be an underlying problem with nerves or muscles (Board). Most scoliosis patients have idiopathic structural scoliosis. Eighty percent of all scoliosis cases are idiopathic structural scoliosis. The cause
