Pathophysiology of a head injury?
There are many different types of brain injury, depending upon the severity of the force upon the head, as well as which portion of the brain is affected. To simplify, brain injuries can be classified as traumatic or acquired, with additional types under each heading. All brain injuries are described as either mild, moderate, or severe. Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injury is a result of an external force to the brain that results in a change to cognitive, physical, or emotional functioning. The impairments can be temporary or permanent. Types of traumatic brain injury include: * Diffuse axonal injury. Shaking or strong rotation of the head causes brain structures to tear. Nerve tissue is disturbed throughout the brain. * Concussion. Caused by a physical force to the head that causes blood vessels to stretch and cranial nerves to be damaged. * Contusion. A result of a direct impact to the head, which causes bleeding on the brain. * Coup-contrecoup injury. The force to the brain is large enough to cause contusion at the side of impact, as well as the site opposite impact. * Penetration injury. The impact causes a foreign object to penetrate the skull. Acquired Brain Injury An acquired brain injury is an injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or the result of birth trauma. Acquired brain injury generally affects cells throughout the entire brain. Types of acquired brain injury include: • Axnoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain doesn't receive oxygen.• Hypoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain receives some, but not enough, oxygen.
What other structures travel to the injury site with the white blood cells?
the nice ones
Can red blood cells repair damaged tissues?
No, the most they can do is supply oxygen to the new cells being created at the site of injury
What is the functio n of the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves, which serves the purpose of relaying sensory and motor messages between the body and brain. In the case of spinal cord injury, parts of the body are paralyzed when the motor messages from the brain cannot pass through the injury site on the spinal cord. Feeling is lost when sensory messages cannot pass the injury site to be processed by the brain.
Impact of traumatic disruption to cranial nerves?
This would result in a Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI.

This occurs when the brain doesn't receive oxygen.• Hypoxic brain injury. This occurs when the brain receives some, but not enough, oxygen. Levels of Brain Injury The Glascow Coma Scale is used to describe the level of initial injury relative to the neurological severity caused to the brain. Mild traumatic brain injury occurs when loss of consciousness does not occur or occurs very briefly, and testing or scans of the brain seem normal. Moderate traumatic brain injury occurs when loss of consciousness lasts a few minutes to a few hours, confusion lasts for days or weeks, and physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments are evident. Severe brain injury occurs when unconsciousness or coma lasts days, weeks, or months, and is characterized by permanent physical, cognitive, or emotional impairments.

Ryan has a right sided brain injury. The specific site of the brain injury can be determined by a formal visual field test or a brain scan like CT or MRI.
What other cells travel to the injury site with white blood cells?
different types travel other than white blood cells. they have cells that stop bleeding,form the scab,even some blood cells act as nerves to tell you that you are hurting, and travel to the spot and make the scratch, injury, or what ever ache.
