How The Skin is Involved with the Nervous System The skin is the outside covering of the body tissue‚ which protects inner cells and organs from the outside environment. The skin is the largest organ of the body and its cells are continuously replaced as they are lost to normal wear and tear. The skin has between 12 to 20 square feet in area and accounts for 12% of body weight. It is composed of 3 layers the epidermis‚ the dermis‚ and the sub cutis. The thickness of

Tethered cord syndrome Tethered cord syndrome is a stretch-induced functional disorder associated with the fixation (tethering) effect of inelastic tissue on the caudal spinal cord‚ limiting its movement. This abnormal attachment is associated with progressive stretching and increased tension of the spinal cord as a child ages‚ potentially resulting in a variety of neurological and other symptoms. Due to the variation of the growth rate of the spinal cord and the spinal column‚ the progression of

Background The stress response in the body triggered by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) contains two different chemicals – neurotransmitters and hormones. Neurotransmitters‚ specifically norepinephrine (NE)‚ are released into the postganglionic synapses of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) during flight or fight response. NE carries out its effects on a target cell by binding to and activating adrenergic receptors. NE is usually eliminated through the reuptake into presynaptic cells and enzymes
