What part of the system is the spinal cord in?
Yes, the spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. The human brain is the other organ that makes up the central nervous system.
What is central disc bulge in L4-L5 and L5-S1?
A bulging disc is a condition that occurs when there is a tear in the outer ring of one of your intervertebral discs, causing the soft portion to bulge out and out of place. If you have a bulging disc, you should definitely get it checked out asap in case it gets worse. If you start feeling pain from bulging discs, I would suggest trying to use some natural methods to relieve the pain - I found some great methods that helped with my back pain - see related links.
Where does the spinal cord start and ends?
In an adult the lower end of the spinal cord usually ends at approximately the first lumbar vertebra, where it divides into many individual nerve roots (L1). That is the reason Lumbar Puncture usually perform at L3-L4 in order to prevent accidentally injure to the spinal cord. The point where the spinal cord ends is referred to as the "conus medullaris"
What cavity encloses the nervous cord?
The Vertebral Cavity
This answer Above is WRONG...
It is the dorsal cavity!
both answers are technically wrong.. the dorsal cavity holds both the cranial and spinal cavities. the cranial cavity holds the brain and the spinal cavity holds the spinal cord.
Pertaining to within a sheath or within the membranes surrounding the spinal cord?
The meninges (from the Greek meninx, meaning "membrane") cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. The meninges have three layers: 1) the dura mater, 2) the arachnoid, and 3) the pia mater. The dura mater is the outermost layer covering the central nervous system. The arachnoid (from the Greek arachne, meaning "spider") is a web-like network of collagen and elastic fibers. The innermost layer of the meninges is the pia mater. The pia mater is firmly attached to the neural tissue of the spinal cord and brain. Cerebrospinal fluid fills the space between the pia matter and the arachnoid membrane. Most of the blood vessels that supply blood to the central nervous system are in the pia mater.
The outermost layer of the brain membrane (meninges) is the dura mater, "tough mother". The middle layer of meninges is the arachnoid (spider) mater which helps stabilize the brain inside the skull. Finally the pia mater overlies the brain directly.
In general what is important of reflex testing in routine physical examination?
By testing a person's reflexes, doctors are better able to draw conclusions about the patient's nervous system. It is an integral part of learning whether or not the brain is communicating with the rest of the body.
When the spinal cord gets nerves sending shock waves to the brain. The spinal cord then will arise from the sockets before tension creates damage to your spine. Water from in between will come out to help the spine arise
Where is the false vocal cords located?
They are used in musical growling (metal music) and tuvan throat singing.
What organ system does the spinal cord belong to?
The function of the liver is digestive; it does the next level of processing of food, after it has been digested by the alimentary canal.
What system of the body is made of the brain and spinal cord and the nerves?
The system of the body is made of the brain spinal cord and nerves is known as the nervous system. The nervous system controls the body's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of its body.
What in your body sends messages from your brain and spinal cord?
Efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain and spinal cord to other nerves, glands, and muscles in your body.
the central nervous system
What would happen if the spinal nerve was cut?
The dorsal root is the part of the peripheral nervous system that picks up sensory signals and sends the signal through the nerve to the brain. If the root is cut, the brain will not receive sensory messages from that nerve, meaning the patient will have loss of sensation in that area (numbness, blindness, deafness, etc.)
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the nerves and spinal cord?
Inflammation of a spinal nerve root is termed radiculitis.
A nerve root injury is termed radiculopathy, a radiculopathy with an inflammatory component is termed radiculitis, and both radiculopathy and radiculitis may result in radicular pain which is pain that radiates in a dermatomal pattern innervated by that particular nerve root.
What is the diagram that includes the brain and the spinal cord?
i mean well of course its the nervous system but really you really think its that wow such a smart pants lets have AA discuttion
non-narcotic
What is the medical term meaning hernia of the spinal cord?
There are two major classes of herniation: supratentorial and infratentorial. The four main types of brain herniation syndromes include an uncinate and central transtentorial herniations, as well as a subfalcine or tonsillar herniations.
Brain herniation frequently presents with abnormal posturing a characteristic positioning of the limbs indicative of severe brain damage. These patients have a lowered level of consciousness, with Glasgow Coma Scores of three to five. One or both pupils may be dilated and fail to constrict in response to light. Vomiting can also occur due to compression of the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata.
What is the medical term meaning gray matter of the spinal cord?
Myelitis is a term that is generally used to denote inflammation or infection of the spinal cord.
Distinguish between the false vocal cords and true vocal cords?
- False Vocal Cords are typically used in musical song, mostly in metal (deep growl or screaming), or tuvan throat singing. False vocal cords can also be used to produce a low, bass like, pitch. However without the proper knowledge of how to use false vocal cords damage can be done and the consequences may be harmful to the throat.
- True Vocal Cords are typically used in general speaking or can be heard when listening to most songs (non-metal). True vocal cords are used most often when talking, the pitch of true vocal cords vary from person to person, a female typically will have high pitched true vocal cords than those of a male. However vise-versa is also possible.
- If you are looking for a much more anatomic explanation or description, I suggest visiting wikipedia, and searching False Vocal Cords. If you are looking for a more practical explanation of distinguishing pitches and sound from either true or false vocal chords, I suggest google videos, or youtube, however youtube may not be as reliable, nor may google videos. Simply googling, "False vocal cord audio" may find the desired information.
What happens if the vocal cord is damaged during surgery?
Possibly, depends on what damage was done, how extensive the damage , etc. You need to discuss this with an "experienced" surgeon who has done numerous reairs of damaged cords, will probalby need to go to a large medical center to find the right doctor. Take a photo of the damage with you, to get a better opinion, otherwise they will have to look at them with a scope before they can give you much info.
