Brain

apoplexy; rupture of a blood vessel in the brain resulting in loss of consciousness, often followed by paralysis, or embolism or thrombosis affecting a cerebral vessel.

If the stroke is severe, a person may die.

How is the blood brain barrier important to patient care?

NO. this requires cognitive responces and actions. If you are brain dead you cant tell your mouth to open, chew or swallow

The "medulla oblongata", commonly known as simply the "medulla", is the lower half of the brain stem. It controls the cardiac, respiratory systems and other autonomic systems.

cortex of brain can control the movement of voluntary muscular

Since a coma is just going to sleep and never waking up, a coma shouldn't cause brain damage. It is just that the brain is in a permanent mode of sleep in which the victim cannot be aroused.

The tissues found in the brain are gray matter and white matter.

The gray matter is made up of unmyelinated neurons and it is the area of nerve connections and processing.

The white matter is made up of myelinated neurons that connect the regions of gray matter to each other and the rest of the body. The white matter acts as the main information path that speeds up connection between the brain and distant parts of the body.

Yes. I know of a person who was severely beaten and became brain damaged, and he was perfectly normal before, but now he has mental disabilities plus cerebral palsy.

No, they trap their prey then push out their stomachs and digest their prey.

The cerebrum is the largest and most developed part of the brain. It, unfolded, has the surface area of four school desks. It makes up 85% of the brain's weight. It's the center of judgment, reasoning, complex learning, abstract thinking, association, interpretation of sensory information, speech, learning and memory, and also controls voluntary actions, like how you think and move. It's made of two halves, the left and right cerebral hemispheres.

Certain hormones act upon the liver to release glucogen and it is converted into glucose which then gets circulated into the brain cavity. Asteocytes are attached to this glucose enriched blood and the glucose is then chemically transported to the brain where it is readily required.

No

So we can survive in the world. So we can invent stuff to make life easier. So we can create a better world.

No it is not natural beauty only lasts for a brief period of time and once that is gone people turn to artificial beauty which leads to drugs, plastic surgery and illnesses like anorexia. Brains are far better because then you will be able to marry someone who is smart enough to see the beauty inside, you also wont be dumb enough to do drugs or get plastic surgery or stop eating. That is why brains are far better

for me to have brains will always lead the way. why? in our daily live we encounter many people in our life's and the most caughting attention sometime when we walked streets are those beautiful creatures they can even make us turn on because of their physical appearance but that was we see outside ability when you start talking to some of that you will noticed how pooer the conversation will be because majority of those good looking pips were not that smarter though. that's why it is more better to have brains rather than beauty i agree to the first answer when your beauty fades then all who admired you fades but when you are smart and inteligent you may leave this world a legacy which reminds of you even if your already gone that's the point. hehehe

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a diffusion barrier, which impedes influx of most compounds from blood to brain. Three cellular elements of the brain microvasculature compose the BBB-endothelial cells, astrocyte end-feet, and pericytes (PCs). Tight junctions (TJs), present between the cerebral endothelial cells, form a diffusion barrier, which selectively excludes most blood-borne substances from entering the brain. Astrocytic end-feet tightly ensheath the vessel wall and appear to be critical for the induction and maintenance of the TJ barrier, but astrocytes are not believed to have a barrier function in the mammalian brain.

The midbrain is found on top of a structure called the pons. The pons (bridge) is next to the brain stem. The area is very small and the effects of damage depends on where and how much. The best out come is a mild trauma and the worse is cell death that leads to symptoms such as tremors, physical instability and emotional changes. Some think that mental illness may also be the outcome.

TV has become a perverted way to kill the mind. I use to watch TV alot but then i started to see more and more disturbing things on it. I've actually accumulated fears from TV watching. Of corse its not all TV's fault. I personally have come to hate and despise certain acts of things just from watch TV and getting a veiw of how things work in the world on the screen. TV can be entertaining at times but i would say be careful what you watch. If that answers your question. I dont know if you meant what illnesses can occur but I guess if you were to name my illness it would be a phobia of certain things. A discust I could have lived my whole life without wanting to ever know. Well that is what Television does to me. Sheesh, I shound so dramatic. Sorry. Don't mean to be. TV has different effect on different people. Im just a extra sensitive person, I suppose. My thoughts can also hypocrit me while I write a book. Lol
