What kind of impulse carries impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
Does helium affect your vocal cords?
yup it does. but there are many dangers to breathing in helium repeatedly without taking breaks for oxygen. its not the helium that's dangerous; its the fact that your not breathing oxygen. its less dangerous to just be sucking it from a balloon than a, like, giant commercial balloon or something, though. when u are just using a little party balloon, the worst case scenario is that you will become oxygen deprived and pass out. If you climb in a huge commercial balloon, then you can actually pass out, not be able to climb out b/c you are unconscious, not get oxygen and die. this really happened to some college kids in florida. not good or smart. so if you are sucking helium from a little party balloon, make sure you are taking breathes of normal air in between and don't do it for more than a minute at the most! HELIUM CAN BE DANGEROUS!!!!!!!
What could be the cause of excess spinal fluid?
The fruits and vegetables cause fluid in the spine. Intake of non-veg food also adds to it. Nutrients dissolve in our body and get collected in the form of nectar/marrow in our bones.
When you speak or sing you force air through your vocal cords in your?
Shower. Not really, you are forcing them through your larynx.
A face cord is usually considered 1/3 of a full face cord, which is 4' x 4' x 8'
It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!
What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion or spinal cord injury?
Symptoms of concussion include drowsyness and vomiting, headache and fainting.
Symptoms of a spinal cord injury include numbness of the body, pins and needles, weakness or loss of function in the limbs, reduced respiratory capacity and vomiting.
The medical term for a record of the spinal cord is myelogram. Though very accurate, taking a myelogram is associated with risks mostly due to exposure to X-rays.
Can you become paralyzed from loss of spinal fluid?
You can certainly die from a leak in your spinal fluid. This fluid supports all function between your spine and your brain.
What contains the voice box and vocal cords?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, bu I think that the vocal chords are located in the larynx. Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and inside it are the vocal chords.
Vocal chords are thin bands of tissue that vibrate when exhaled air rushes past them; this enables you to make sounds when you speak or sing.
I was just studying this material for a science test that I have tomorrow, lol ^_^ . 2. Larynx is correct.
What order neuron conduct sensory impulses from the brain stem and spinal cord to the thalamus?
from spinal nerve to posterior (dorsal) root
How much spinal fluid does a person have?
"The cerebrospinal fluid is produced at a rate of 500 ml/day. Since the brain can only contain from 135-150 ml, large amounts are drained primarily into the blood through arachnoid granulations in the superior sagittal sinus. Thus the CSF turns over about 3.7 times a day. This continuous flow into the venous system dilutes the concentration of larger, lipoinsoluble molecules penetrating the brain and CSF.[2]"- taken from wikipedia I ended up looking for the awnser to this question because of an episode of Fringe [28april09] - basically the guy would have been fine.
What diseases does the spinal cord have?
a spinal cord can have tumors, meningitis, which is the inflammation of the thin tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cords, poliomyelitis which attacks your nervous system and can cause paralysis, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, digenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis which attacks neurons and causes trouble walking, running, writing, and speech problems.
What are the spinal and cranial nerves ganglia?

What are the brain and spinal cord protected by in the human?
Your brain is protected by bone which is your skull. Your spinal cord is also protected by bone known as vertebrae.
Actually in the biology textbook it is called cerebrospinal fluid.
What is one reason that brain or spinal injuries cannot often be repaired?
The nerves which make up the spinal cord are the direct route between the brain and the body, and are so immense in their complexities that it is incredibly difficult to repair, replace or emulate their function. The cells are also so specific in their function that many lack the capacity to divide and repair themselves. This means they cannot self repair, or be repaired as we simply lack the knowledge, technology and ability to repair them at this moment in time.
What is the main relay center for conducting information between the spinal cord and the cerebrum?
The main relay center for transferring information from the spinal cord to the cerebrum is the brain stem. This part of the brain is the simplest, but most important part of its anatomy.
