Spinal cord injuries If the spinal cord is damaged in an accident‚ the sections below the injury will be cut off from the circuit of information to and from your brain. This means‚ all nerves - and all body parts - linked to these areas of the spinal cord will also be disconnected from your brain and will stop functioning. Well protected To minimise the risk of such an injury‚ your spinal cord is well protected: Three tough envelopes called meninges surround your spinal cord A clear fluid‚ that

fluid resulting in inflammation of the meninges. 1. What are the meninges? They are three membranous layers that surround the brain and spinal cord. 2. Name the meningeal layers that surround the brain and spinal cord and explain the relative location of each. Dura mater‚ arachnoid mater‚ and pia mater. Dura mater is the tough‚ fibrous outermost layer that lines the inside of the cranium‚ or sits next to the epidural space of the vertebral column. Arachnoid mater: is the middle layer located on the

1. Would you consider banking your baby’s cord blood and tissues? Explain your decision. Yes I would consider banking my baby’s cord blood and tissues. It is said that Cord blood has been used to treat many life-threatening diseases including leukemia‚ other cancers‚ blood disorders‚ metabolic disorders‚ and immune diseases (CBR Systems‚ 1995-2014). I think it would be worth the try. 2. What are the general differences between private and public cord blood banks? Most private facilities provide

division focused on car manufacturing.It was in 1937 that there was a separation between the two businesses and consequently Toyota Motor Company was born. In order to get a deeper understanding over the industry‚ Kiichiro studied the production system of Ford‚ the leading car manufacturing company at that time‚ and later adopted and improved it. Ten years later‚ in 1947‚ Toyota started to produce large-scale passenger cars‚ competing with Ford and General Motors but suffered from Japan’s economy that

Spinal Cord Injury * Short Case Study #3 1. Describe the functional anatomy of the spinal cord using the following terms: white matter‚ gray matter‚ tracts‚ roots‚ and spinal nerves. * White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system‚ and it consists of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another as well as in between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies. Unlike

The anatomy of the spinal cord is very unique. Externally‚ it is initially surrounded by the vertebral column. The vertebral column is divided into the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacral‚ and coccygeal regions. These different vertebrae protect the spinal cord from damage and form a type of shell around it. The spinal cord appears as a long‚ thin cord of nerves. The peripheral nerves that extend out to many parts of the body arise from the spinal cords thirty-one segmental pairs of nerves. The cervical

The spinal cord is a white‚ soft and cord (rope) like material running through the backbone. The internal structure of the spinal cord is much simpler and more uniform throughout its many parts than that of the brain. No matter where it is sectioned‚ it gives the same general appearance. The interior of the spinal cord looks grey because it is filled with neurons without having myelin sheath in their axons. There are thirty-one pairs of peripheral spinal nerves connected to the spinal cord. The sensory

How Cord Blood Can Be Used to Aid the Treatment of Leukemia and Other Inherited Disorders I have been hearing lots of news lately on the research being done with cord blood. Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta that is usually discarded after birth. However‚ it can be very beneficial to save a baby’s cord blood. Cord blood is rich with stem cells distinctive to that baby and family. Stem cells are important because they play a role in the development of all organs
