Paraplegia is paralysis on one side of the body and is caused by a tumor injury or CVA?
hemi-plegia is paralysis or weakness on one side of the body. Paraplegia is loss of sensation and paralysis from approximately the waist down. It can be caused by numerous factors such as traumatic brain or physical injury, CVA, tumour pressure, etc. hemi-plegia is paralysis or weakness on one side of the body.

What is paralysis one side of the body?
Paraplegia
Why does paralysis affect the opposite side of body?
Paralysis affects the opposite side of the body due to the way the nervous system is organized. Motor control signals originate in the brain and cross over to the opposite side of the body at the brainstem or spinal cord. Therefore, damage to the brain's motor areas or pathways on one side results in loss of movement and sensation on the opposite side. This contralateral effect is a fundamental characteristic of the brain's structure and function.
What is the balance between the heat loss and the heat produced by the body?
the right side
What happens if the ventral spinothalamic tract is damage?
The ventral spinothalamic tract carries "light touch" sensation. There are three neurons that carry the information to the brain. From the cutaneous nerve(s) in the skin to the dorsal root ganglia, then to the dorsal horn in spinal cord, crossing over to the other side and traveling up to the thalamus, and finally from the thalamus to post-central gyrus. Because the axons of the neuron cross over to the other side of the spinal cord almost immediately, a spinal cord lesion will produce loss of this sensation on the opposite side of the body below where the lesion occurs. According to one of my medical books, however, light touch can ALSO be carried via the medial lemniscus tract, which doesn't cross until it reaches the brain stem. That being true, light touch could be spared even if there is damage to the ventral spinothalamic tract. I hope that helps! Compliments of your friendly MSI :)
What type of symmetry describes having two structures on the same side of the body?
Ipsilateral
What will be result of the loss of albamine from the body?
The loss of albumin from the body can result in many side effects. Some of these side effects are full body and generalized swelling, muscle fatigue, cramps, muscle weakness, poor appetite, and a swollen abdomen due to liver issues.
Brown-Séquard Syndrome Symptoms?
The Brown-Séquard Syndrome are distinct and can help in its diagnosis. According to Dr. Chandril Chugh, the key symptoms include:Ipsilateral Muscle Weakness or Paralysis: This refers to weakness or paralysis on the same side as the spinal cord injury. The corticospinal tract, which carries motor signals from the brain to the body, is disrupted on the side of the injury.Contralateral Loss of Pain and Temperature Sensation: Patients experience a loss of pain and temperature sensation on the side opposite the injury. This occurs due to the disruption of the spinothalamic tract, which carries sensory information to the brain.Ipsilateral Loss of Proprioception and Vibration Sensation: This symptom involves a loss of the sense of position and vibration on the same side as the injury. The dorsal columns, responsible for these sensations, are affected.Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction: Depending on the level of the spinal cord injury, patients may experience difficulties with bladder and bowel control.The combination of these symptoms often points to a diagnosis of Brown-Séquard Syndrome, and further imaging studies such as MRI can confirm the extent and location of spinal cord damage.
What will happen if there are lesions in the sensory pathways?
Parts of body that are affected by lesions depend on the sites and sides of lesions.If it happens after the sensory decussation (for example, at Medial Lemniscus or Internal capsule), it will cause the loss of sensations in the opposite side of the body. For instance, any damages to the left internal capsule will cause the loss of sensations of the right side of your body, including upper and lower limbs.If it happens before the sensory decussation (for example, at dorsal column of spinal cord), it will cause the loss of sensations from the level of lesion and below, in the same side of the body. For instance, any damages to left dorsal column in T12 spinal segment will cause the loss of sensations in the left side of your body from the level of lesion and below (which means, in this case, inlcuding the lower limbs only, but not upper limbs)
What directional term describes the nipples and umbilicus?
The directional term that describes the nipples and umbilicus is "ventral". This means they are located on the front side of the body.
