Where in the body would you a cerbral heamorrhage occur?

In the brain.


What do the cerbral cortex and cerebral cortex have in common?

They are the same. The word cerbral is misspelled and should be cerebral. This the covering of the brain. Cortex means "bark", like the bark on a tree.


How did Shel Silversteins daughter die at age 11?

Shel Silverstein's daughter died of a brain tumor or cerbral aneurysm.


What is an anterior cingulate cortex?

The anterior cingulate cortex is a region in the brain involved in various functions such as decision-making, emotion regulation, and attention. It plays a crucial role in monitoring conflicts between different processes and is important for cognitive control. It is located in the frontal part of the brain.


What are the 5 regions of space and meninges between the outer layer of meninges and the cerbral cortex?

The five regions of space between the outer layer of the meninges and the cerebral cortex are the epidural space, subdural space, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space, and pia mater. The epidural space is located between the dura mater and the skull, while the subdural space lies between the dura mater and arachnoid mater. The arachnoid mater is a web-like structure, followed by the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and finally, the pia mater directly covers the cerebral cortex. These layers protect the brain and provide cushioning, nutrients, and waste removal.


What part of the brain responsible for reasoning?

The prefrontal cortex is primarily responsible for reasoning in the brain. It is involved in higher cognitive functions such as problem-solving, decision-making, and planning. Damage to this area can impair reasoning abilities.


What is a cytotechnologist?

Answer Cytotechnology is the microscope study of cells for evidence of disease, such as cancer. Many other conditions, including viral and bacterial infections, also are indentified using cytotogical techniques. Cytotechnologists evaluate cell samples that have been shed normally, scraped from the body, or aspirated with a fine needle. Cytotechnologists are trained to notice subtle changes in cells so they can accurately identify precancerous, malignant and infectious conditions. For example, a cytotechnologist might examine cerbral spinal fluid to determine whether a patient is suffering from an infection such as meningitis. Answer Diagnosing cancer and some diseases by analyzing cell morphology using a microscope. We deal with all sorts of specimens, but only liquid based ones, not tissues.Cytology is the study of the formation, structure and function of cells. Cytotechnologists are trained technologists to work with pathologists to detect changes in cellular material from all body sites in the early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. Physicians use the information supplied by the cytotechnologists.Cytotechnologists work with a wide variety of laboratory specimen preparations and a basic knowledge of contemporary procedures and technologies such as image analysis, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, molecular diagnostic procedures, and automation.


What is oral hygiene?

Brushing teeth, showering, brushing hair, washing hands. From physiological point of view, oral hygiene is not merely aimed at dental and gum health. Oral hygiene practiced every morning, involving rubbing of the hard and soft palate, upper and lower [inner and outer aspects of] gums, inner aspects of cheek, undersurface and oversurface of tongue and the teeth [Cf. Superliving:Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar] with or without tooth powder or paste [by use of finger and thumb] probably 1. stimulates the large area of parietal cerbral cortical representation of mouth, tongue and other oral areas and thereby helps in getting rejuvenated, buoyant, alert, attentive and composed 2. stimulates undersurfaces of bony cavities surroundings the oral vaity called sinuses and thereby reduces the congestion or stagnation of circulation of blood and prevents or reduces the chances of infection 3. stimulates the salivary glands, ducts and ductal openings and thereby increases salivation and its beneficial actions/activites 4. stimulates the blood supply of the gums and the roots of teeth 5. stimulates the taste receptors and improves the taste sensation. Gargling with water probably cleans and stimulates the remaining oropharyngeal areas and their circulation. Use of different herbs [e.g. Emblica officinalis (Phyllanthus emblica), Acasia catachu, Acasia arabica, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellerica etc.] in oral hygiene in different forms; though very important, requires extensive and thorugh discussion.


What are brain?

"Infarction" is a medical term for tissue damage due to occlusion of an artery supplying that tissue. It can apply to any tissue, a renal infarction being damage to some part of a kidney in this way. One only hears the term commonly, though, for the heart and the brain. A myocardial infarction is damage to heart muscle, the myocardium. This is what's commonly called a heart attack. An infarction of the brain is damage to brain tissue from lack of blood supply from a single artery, called "ischemia", the most common form of what is commonly called a stroke. Infarction of the brain is divided into damage to the cerbral cortex, called "cerebral infarction" and damage to the lower parts of the brain, called "brainstem infarction". The former is generally supplied by the carotid arteries while the latter is supplied by the vertebral arteries. Infarction can occur due to thrombosis, in which an artery closes off due to atherosclerosis, or embolism where a blood clotor other material travels to an artery feeding the brain, usually from the heart. The artery causing the infarction may remain occluded or may clear,but still having been occluded long enough to cause infarction. Symptoms of brain infarction depend on the location of the tissue damaged. They may include weakness, inability to speak, reduced vision, double vision, dizzyness, imbalance, altered sensation or confusion. The best treatment of brain infarction depends on patients presenting to the emergency room within3 hours of such symptoms, the sooner the better. Recovery from brain infarction depends on how reversible the damage to the brain tissue is. Many small infarctions improve over weeks to months. Old, small infarctions may be discovered on CT or MRI scans, apparently having occurred in the past without symptoms. Large infarctions may cause patients considerable symptoms, which may still be improving at least two years after the stroke.


What is meant by a stroke?

A sudden disabling attack, or to rub something very gently.


How do you DIE without getting hurt?

Actually it's surprisingly hard to do. Over the millions of years humans have been evolving, a significant part of that development has been systems that keep you from dying easily. One of those systems is pain. And so, most methods HURT. And, for the same reasons, most methods are less than sure. Humans survive amazing injuries, including self-inflicted ones. And while some people consider suicide, very few want to injury themselves grievously and then survive it for 10 or 20 years. To give an answer to an honest question: The methods that ensure near instant (and hence painless) and relatively sure death tend to only include catastrophic, gruesome means and require either significant threats to others or the use of chemical energy or both. An example would be servering the first cervical vertebra from the cerbral cortex by inserting a gun in one's mouth and inflicting a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The projectile will remain lethal for some distance after exiting the body, however, and may strike others and produce fatal wounds, depending on caliber. Missing the correct point is likely, but the release of proplenant gasses in the mouth will inflict such excessive damage that death will be highly likely and very rapid. Falling from a great height onto a hard surface, will produce exceptional instant trauma, with the attendant risk of striking a person below. Explosives will produce similar instant results with virtual surety of lethality given a significant charge, with an attached extreme danger to others.
