Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is long, cylindrical rod present inside the neural canal of vertebral column. It is a part of central nervous system and controls reflex actions of the body.
1,619 Questions
Do descending fiber tracts of the spinal cord carry sensory or motor information?
The ascending tracts carry information to the brain.
What would happen if the spinal cord wasn't working?
You would not be able to move any voluntary muscles. Your heart will beat and your digestive tract will function. You will have some problems with your breathing as the diaphragm has a mix of both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
When vocal cords vibrate they produce?
Sound. Vibrating vocal cords produce sound. The speed at which they vibrate determines whether the sound is high pitched or low pitched.
Shock absorbing tissue that protects the brain and the spinal cord?
The cerebral spinal fluid which bathes the brain also cushions it from shock. That is contained within three layers of meninges or protective coverings which also act to hold the brain in place to prevent it from hitting the inside of the skull during rapid acceleration or deceleration.
It's the phone link that send all the data to you entire body so all your sensors work. its your wiring, so you can taste, touch, smell, feel hot and cold, pain or pleasure and be able to move etc.
3 types of nerves in spinal cord?
The three types of nerves in the spinal cord are: afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
What causes vocal cord nodules and polyps?
Chronic infections caused by allergies and inhalation of irritants, such as cigarette smoke, may produce these lesions, but extensive use of the voice is the most common cause
What are the risks of spinal fusion?
Spinal fusion carries a risk of nerve damage. Rarely, delayed paralysis can occur, probably from loss of oxygen to the spine during surgery. Infection may occur. Bone from the bone bank carries a small risk of infection.
Is the human spinal cord straight?
No. The Spinal cord or column should have nature curvatures. Natural curvature occurs at all 5 regions of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal region). However, too much curvatures can cause problems, such as scoliosis.
What are the symptom exhibited by a patient with a spinal cord injury?
Depends on the severity of the injury and the location of the injury. They higher up in the spine, the bigger the part of the body affected. Can be anything from a small area with no sensation to a paraplegic.
How can you stretch or loosen your vocal cords?
There are many useful vocal warm-up exercises. "Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi". LOL :D You can go up and down scales in your vocal range, sing tongue twisters and lots more. One I really like is Numbers.
If you play the piano, start on middle C (or wherever your voice starts). Sing straight up until you get to G. Sing numbers(1,2,3,4,5). And then sing back down again(5,4,3,2,1). Then alternate numbers, always gong back to 5 (1,5,4,5,3,5,2,5,1,4,3,2,1). Then sing it again but a bit differently (1,5,4,5,3,5,2,5,1,5,4,5,6,7,8). Go up to A,B and C on 6,7 and 8. So the whole thing together is 1,5,4,5,3,5,2,5,1,5,4,5,3,2,1 (pause for a second, breathe) 1,5,4,5,3,5,2,5,1,5,4,5,6,7,8
Here are so others:
Vowel sounds(Ah,Eh,Oh,Uy)
Mama made mash my M&M (pronounced m-en-nems)
Nani,Nani,Nani,Nani Na (make it sound nasily and witchy, it helps)
Hope this helped!
Is the spinal cavity a ventral body cavity?
No. The spinal cavity is part of the Dorsal cavity, which also includes the cranial cavity. The spinal cavity is the space in vertebrae(spinal bones) through which the spinal cord passes.
What is a complete acute spinal cord injury involving c5?
Complete refers to the severity of the injury, acute refers to the (initial) phase of injury, and C5 refers to the level of injury.
Patients with C-5 injuries typically have no control of the wrist or hand, but do have some control in the shoulder and biceps areas. Other effects of C-5 injuries may include: * Bowel and bladder dysfunction * Sexual dysfunction * Difficulty regulating heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, and body temperature * Spasticity * Neuropathic pain * Muscle atrophy * Osteoporosis * Gallbladder and renal stones Immediate medical intervention following the injury will increase the likelihood of the best possible long-term prognosis. In most cases, the acute stage of injury is followed by extensive rehabilitation, which is designed to help the survivor adapt both physically and mentally to his or her new condition. While their lives will certainly be different than they were before the injury, with the correct intervention and support, survivors with C-5 injuries can go on to lead very fulfilling lives. In the meantime, scientists continue to study treatments for spinal cord injury, designed to both reduce the effect of the injury and promote the growth of functional
injury to the brain or spinal cord due to jarring from a blow, fall
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?!
