Spinal Cord

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm or injury, I encourage seeking help from a mental health professional or a trusted individual. It's important to prioritize health and well-being.

Spinal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can lead to pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can occur due to age-related changes, such as arthritis, herniated discs, or thickened ligaments. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs, and it often affects the lower back and neck. Treatment options vary from physical therapy and medication to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition.

The spinal curve that develops as an infant begins to walk is known as the lumbar lordosis. This curve forms in the lower back region and helps to support the spine’s weight as the child transitions to an upright posture. It is an essential adaptation that facilitates balance and stability during walking and other activities. As the child grows, the curvature of the spine continues to evolve, reflecting their developing motor skills and overall posture.

The whiplash cord refers to a specific type of injury that occurs in the neck due to rapid back-and-forth movement, commonly associated with car accidents or sudden impacts. This motion can strain or damage the ligaments, muscles, and nerves in the cervical spine, leading to symptoms like pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It's essential to seek medical attention if whiplash is suspected, as proper diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent long-term issues.

The best way to hide cords in a room is to use cord covers, cable management systems, or route cords behind furniture or along baseboards to keep them out of sight and organized.

You can hide cords effectively using a box by cutting holes in the box for the cords to pass through, then placing the box over the cords and power strip to conceal them.

Yes, extension cords can get wet, but it is not safe to use them when they are wet as it can lead to electric shock or damage to the cord. It is important to keep extension cords dry and away from water to prevent accidents.

To effectively baby proof plugged-in cords in your home, you can use cord covers, cord organizers, or cord shorteners to keep them out of reach of children. Additionally, you can use outlet covers or safety plugs to prevent access to electrical outlets. Regularly check cords for any damage and replace them if needed to ensure safety.

To effectively baby proof electrical cords in your home, you can use cord covers, outlet covers, and cord shorteners to keep cords out of reach and prevent potential hazards for your child. Additionally, securing cords with zip ties or cord clips can help keep them organized and out of the way. Regularly inspecting cords for damage and replacing them as needed is also important for safety.

The fluid inside the spinal cord is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and cushioning. It is produced in the brain's ventricles and circulates around the central nervous system, helping to regulate pressure and provide nutrients to the nervous tissue.

Oh, my friend, let's paint a different picture today. It's important to always take care of yourself and seek help if you're feeling overwhelmed. Remember, there are always people who care about you and want to help you through any tough times. Let's focus on creating happy little trees instead.

The brain and spinal cord are both part of the central nervous system. They are involved in processing and transmitting information throughout the body, including sensory input, motor control, and coordination of body functions. Both are protected by the same set of membranes called meninges and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid.

The major descending motor tract FROM the cerebrum is the corticospinal tract. The major ascending sensory tracts TO the cerebrum are the sensorimotor tract and the dorsal column lemniscal system.

The spinal cord

axons of sensory neurons

Blood vessels are absent from the gray matter of the spinal cord. The gray matter primarily consists of cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses, which are essential for processing and integrating information. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the gray matter via the surrounding white matter and cerebrospinal fluid.

Sympathetic nerves originate inside the vertebral column, toward the middle of the spinal cord in the intermediolateral cell column (or lateral horn), beginning at the first thoracic segment of the spinal cord and are thought to extend to the second or third lumbar segments. Because its cells begin in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, the SNS is said to have a thoracolumbar outflow. Axons of these nerves leave the spinal cord through the anterior rootlet/root. They pass near the spinal (sensory) ganglion, where they enter the anterior rami of the spinal nerves. At the synapses within the ganglia, preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on postganglionic neurons. In response to this stimulus postganglionic neurons - with two important exceptions - release norepinephrine, which activates adrenergic receptors on the peripheral target tissues.

The parasympathetic nerves (PSNS) are autonomic (aka "visceral") branches of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Parasympathetic nerve fibers arise from the central nervous system with the S2, S3, and S4 spinal nerves and from the third, seventh, ninth, and tenth cranial nerves.The parasympathetic nervous system uses chiefly acetylcholine (ACh) as its neurotransmitter, although other peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may act on the PSNS as a neurotransmitter.

remember the word SAME


Sensory are Afferent


Motor are Efferent

Yes, peripheral nerves connect the spinal cord to the limbs and other parts of the body. These nerves carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body, allowing for movement and sensation.

The three outer layers of the grey matter of the cerebellum are the molecular layer, the Purkinje cell layer, and the granular layer. These layers contain different types of cells that play important roles in processing and coordinating motor movements.

Interneurons are the neurons in the center of the spinal cord that receive information from sensory neurons and then communicate this information to the motor neurons. They are responsible for processing and integrating the sensory input before sending signals to the motor neurons for appropriate responses.

Yes, indeed a person can die from this. But than again, it is highly unlikely a person will lose enough CSF to die, it usually patches off and stops draining. Now the CSF can cause pressure in the brain and it can cause death. That's the only way I know of that has to do with csf and dying

So more so, it can lead to death. But it don't necessarily cause death itself.

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
