intellectual disability can happen. In early childhood of young boys they can develop a vision loss which is caused by the degeneration of nerves‚ these nerves are what carry information from the eyes to the brain; medically refereed to as optic nerve atrophy‚ and finally they can experience the loss of sensation and the weakness within there limbs. Now when it come the females side of this disorder they don’t have it as bad as the males do‚ the most that females

CEREBRAL PALSY Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital disorders of childhood. It is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before (Prenatal)‚ during (Perinatal)‚ or shortly after birth (Postnatal). Thus the malformation of the brain can exist at birth or caused by factors occurring during the birthing process or after. Cerebral palsy is a non- progressive disease; however‚ the effects have been known to change over time. This non curable

Ruptured discs‚ Spinal stenosis‚ Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and Ankylosing spondylitis (4). I will define these back problems for you in the following sentences. Injuries or strains can be brought on from being overworked or deconditioned. Osteoarthritis is excess wear and tear on the spinal discs caused by aging. Ruptured discs are created when wear and tear on the spine causes the intervertebral disc to bulge out. Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. Diffuse

several other industrialized countries. • There has been a breakthrough with human stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims‚ brain cells for the brain damaged‚ spinal cord cells for quadriplegics and paraplegics‚ hearts‚ lungs‚ livers‚ and kidneys could be produced. By combining this technology with human cloning technology it may be possible to produce needed tissue for suffering people that will be free of rejection

Definition Reflex tests are simple physical tests of nervous system function. Purpose A reflex is a simple nerve circuit. A stimulus‚ such as a light tap with a rubber hammer‚ causes sensory neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to the spinal cord. There‚ the signals are conveyed both to the brainand to nerves that control muscles affected by the stimulus. Without any brain intervention‚ these muscles may respond to an appropriate stimulus by contracting. Reflex tests measure the presence and
