In most cases, spinal fluid leaking is not deadly. However, it can lead to serious complications such as meningitis or brain infection if left untreated. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a spinal fluid leak.

True. The medulla oblongata regulates vital involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.

pressure is measured in "bar" 1bar is equal to 1000millibar. this is the atmospheres base pressure. 1020millibar is high atmospheric presure. 980 mb is low air pressure. 1.02 or 0.98 bar

The thoracic and sacral curves are the primary curves, as they are obvious at birth. The cervical and lumbar curves are secondary as they are modifications on the foetal position.

Fat cells can potentially be used in spinal cord injury treatment by promoting tissue regeneration and providing a source of stem cells for repair. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types that can contribute to the healing process and support nerve regeneration in the damaged area. Additionally, fat cells can be harvested from a patient's own body, reducing the risk of rejection and facilitating personalized treatment.

The human spinal cord typically weighs about 35-40 grams.

A speck of calcification in the gray-white matter junction of the right parietal lobe likely indicates a small calcified granuloma. Granulomas are typically the body's response to infections or inflammatory conditions. In this case, the calcification suggests that the granuloma is likely old and no longer active.

Yes, ingesting correction fluid can be fatal. It contains toxic chemicals that can cause severe damage to internal organs and lead to potentially deadly complications such as poisoning, organ failure, and respiratory distress. If someone has ingested correction fluid, seek immediate medical attention.

If the ventral root is cut, motor signals from the spinal cord to the muscles would be disrupted, leading to paralysis or weakness in the parts of the body served by the affected spinal nerves. This can result in loss of muscle function and motor control in the corresponding regions of the body.

Glottis

This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.

A spinal fusion procedure can only be performed at a hospital with a specialized surgeon. Due to the risk involved with the surgery it is considered a last resort in the spectrum of possible treatments.

Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.

All living things that are more complex than few multi-celled micro organisms, have spines. Any living thing with a spine, are called invertebrates

On average its about 1 in every 100 people,

both a spinal cord and a telephone wire carry the message from one thing to the next. In the body, the spinal cord transmits the message from the brain to another part of the body. In the telephone, the wire transmits the message from one person to the other person.

The spinal cord

axons of sensory neurons

this refers to the disks in the spine ..as we age and other reasons the space begins to narrow between the vertabrae

It's wrinkled convoluted appearance is due to a growth spurt during the fourth and fifth months of embryonic development, when the gray matter of the cortex is expanding greatly as it's cells grow in size. The supporting white matter, meanwhile, grows less rapidly; As a result the brain takes on the dense folds and fissures characteristic of an object with great surface area crowded into a small space. ( you can refer to http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=1785&page=25 for more info :))

Loss of sensation and/or mobility in the body below the point of injury.

The thoracic and sacral curvatures are obvious at birth. The cervical curvature develops when a baby begins to hold its head up independently, and the lumbar curvature develops when the baby learns to walk.

This is a false statement. The spinal cord is not located in the brain. If the word brain was removed from this statement, then it would be a correct statement.

The spinal cord ends between the 1st and 2nd vertebrae.
