What else can I help you with?
What type of cell prevents infection in the brain and spinal cord?
Microglia
What type of the cell prevents infection of the brain and spinal cord?
Microglia
What is the relationship between spinal cord injury and spasticity?
Spinal cord injury prevents the brain from telling the muscle to relax. The result is prolonged muscle contraction or spasticity.
How do you know you got a complete spinal cord injury?
There will be a complete loss of movement and sensation below the level of spinal cord injury.
What is Anterior margin of the spinal cord?
Anterior, meaning "front" would describe the front side of the spinal cord.
What part of the spinal cord is likely to be compressed when lost feeling in right hand?
The left side of the spinal cord.
What is the function of the denticulate ligaments?
The denticulate ligaments are band-like structures that run along the length of the spinal cord, attaching to the spinal dura mater. They help to stabilize and support the spinal cord within the vertebral canal, preventing excessive movement that could lead to injury or compression of the cord.
What anatomical characteristics prevent spinal cord injury as one severely bends his back in any direction?
The spinal column is a bony encasement made of movable discs, which protect the spinal cord but allow for movement. If the spine is bent too sharply the spinal column or spinal cord can be injured. http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injuries/index.html
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.
What causes Brown-Sequard syndrome?
Brown-Séquard syndrome is typically caused by a spinal cord injury that results in damage to one side of the spinal cord. This can be due to trauma, such as a gunshot or stab wound, or a spinal cord tumor. Other rare causes include spinal cord infarction or multiple sclerosis.
What is the function of zygapophyses of vertebrate?
Zygapophyses are bony processes on the vertebrae that help to stabilize the spinal column by forming joints with adjacent vertebrae. They limit excessive movement between vertebrae and help to protect the spinal cord from injury. Additionally, they play a role in allowing for different degrees of flexibility and movement along the spinal column.
What prevents longitudinal movements of the spinal cord?
The denticulate ligaments, I know, prevent lateral movement of the spinal cord within the thecal sac (as stated in Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, 3rd Edition, page 211). I have yet to find if the denticulate ligaments are also responsible for longitudinal movements or not. I hope this helps.
