What are the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord compise major nerve pathways called?
Nerve Tracts
What is hereditary spastic paraplegia?
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a hereditary degenerative disorder affecting the corticospinal tracts (long never fibers that supply the upper and lower limbs) within the spinal cord.
What connects one gyrus to another within the same hemisphere?
Association Tracts
What is the complex of tiny islands of gray matter within the brain that acts as a filter for incoming sensory impulses?
reticular formation
What part in the nervous system moves?
Its the impulses sended from neuron to neuron via synapses... it can travel within a fraction of second which helps us to escape from dangers rapidly...
Descending tracts within the spinal cord carry what kind of impulses to the muscles?
To make it simple, they are 3 types of descending (efferent) tracts of spinal cord:Pyramidal tracts = lateral and anterior corticospinal tracts + corticobulbar tractExtra-pyramidal tracts= Vestibulospinal + Reticulospinal (Lateral and medial) + Olivospinal + Rubrospinal + Tectospinal tractsDescending autonomic
What are the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord compise major nerve pathways called?
Nerve Tracts
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What is hereditary spastic paraplegia?
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a hereditary degenerative disorder affecting the corticospinal tracts (long never fibers that supply the upper and lower limbs) within the spinal cord.
Nervous tissue within the spinal cavity?
Spinal cord
What is the nervous system made of that carry messages throughout the body?
In the tissues C fibers or A-delta fibers carry pain within nerves to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord pain is carried up to the brain primarily via the spinothalamic tracts.
What connects one gyrus to another within the same hemisphere?
Association Tracts
What is a large vessel found within the pericardial sac?
ascending aorta
Where is the brainstem located?
The brainstem contains ascending and descending nerve pathways that carry sensory input and motor output information to and from higher brain regions
What do electrical impulses of the brain cause?
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
What are somatosensory evoked potential studies used for?
Somatosensory evoked potentials record transmission of nerve impulses from the limbs to the brain, and can be used to diagnose nerve damage or degeneration within the spinal cord or nerve roots from multiple sclerosis, trauma, or other.
What body cavity is the ascending colon found?
The peritoneal cavity (within the abdomen)
