Is the naval anterior to the spinal cord?
Yes. Anterior means towards the front of the body. It is the opposite of posterior (sometimes used when talking of buttocks)
What does a disc protrusion impressing upon a ventral surface of the cord mean?
The only time you really need surgery to correct this condition is when the disc herniates and occurs at an angle of roughly 45-60 degrees off either side of the disc [when looking down at the disc from above, the back is at the bottom and the 'stomach' is at the top]. What happens then is that the disc can compress one of the spinal nerves as it exits the spinal column. If this occurrs in the neck or the lower back [lumbar area] you can have pain and impairment of the area serviced by that nerve. I've never seen a nerve impingement in the thoracic area, and they are really rare.
If the disc bulge is midline, there isn't enough of it to compress the spinal cord IN THE LOWER BACK... In the neck there can be some cord impingement and problems... If the disc bulge in toward the 'stomach', there is nothing to worry about as no nerves are affectable in that direction.... The key is spinal cord involvement or individual nerve root affectation...
The only time surgery should be contemplated is if a nerve root is compressed severely enough that muscles can be permanently effected...
About 75% of the time a herniated disc will shrink and heal itself after 3-6 weeks have passed...
What is the function of shock cord on a rocket?
The shock cord keeps the nose cone attached to the main tube.
How do they repair a leaking spinal cord?
This has to have happened following surgery or trauma... If from surgery, strict bed rest (obviously, in the hospital) with vacuum bag to incisional area for at least 3 days... If the leak continues, the patient is returned to the operating room, the incision is opened and the sac is re-sutured...
What are the extra-pyramidal tracts that cross to the opposite site of spinal cord?
- Rubrospinal tract
- Tectospinal tract
- Lateral reticulospinal tract
Yes. Foxes do have vocal cords. how else would the bark or make noise?
If one or both of their legs were amputated is a possibility, or some other type of leg or foot injury.
How long does methamphetamine stay in spinal fluid?
About as long as it stays in your blood. "Spinal tap" drug tests, while feasible, are a myth. It's an overly invasive procedure for such a petty test when a blood or hair follicle test is as effective.
What is the normal length of umbilical cord?
Normal length of an umbilical cord can range from a couple feet in length to less than one foot, it all depends on the particular pregnancy.
Why is Dylan a three year old?
His spinal cord was dameged by phil adrians symbiotic hunch which lost his connection with his brain. This led to Dylan acting aimlessly and doing things specific to the three year old species. Dylan now does not think before he acts and this leads to the catastrophic events that occur due to his actions. There is a theory in circulation that phil is in control of Dylans mind and seeks to contol the world via Dylans mind!!
The central nervous system is composed of all of these nerves. The central nervous system is responsible for many of the reactions we experience daily, because it integrates the nerves and reactions from every part of the human body.
The development of the spinal cord before the arms during prenatal development is an example of?
Embryogenesis is sequential. The axial skeleton, organs, limbs and nervous system develop from 13 embryonic fields. The second field to develop, is the neural tube, which will eventually produce the spinal cord. Limbs do not develop until after the cartilagenous axial skeleton is laid down. Look up Ethne Barnes. She has an in-depth outline of developmental fields.

Do you always Die from a snapped neck?
A person can die if their spinal cord is snapped off at the neck, killing them instantly. As far as clicking it back into place, its best to see a chiropractor.
How does the brain transmit messages to the body using neurons and spinal cord?
brain transmit messages to the body using neurons and spinal cord. ... Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and back to the rest of the body.
the central neurons system does many jobs at the same time. It controls all voluntary movement, such as speech and walking, and involuntary movements like blinking and breathing. It is also the core of our thoughts, perceptions, and emotions.
The spinal cord is basically your spine. It carries messages between your brain and the rest of the body. Your spinal cord is a slender nerve column that goes from your brain to your vertebral column. It starts with the foramen magnum and has 31 segments (vertebrae). There are 8 cervical vertebrae, which control nerve impulses in your upper limbs. There are 12 thoracic and 5 lumbar vertebrae, which control the nerve impulses in your upper limbs. There are also 5 sacral and finally 1 coccygeal vertebraes.
Are cervical spinal cord injuries more severe than thoracic spinal cord injuries?
The higher the injuries are in the spinal cord, the more structures are affected. Any injury above the C5 level is frequently lethal as it affects the diaphragm for breathing.
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected?
There are a number of things that would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected, This would mainly cause the loss of the sensory function and there would be neuropathic pain among other effects.
What happens to the half of the umbilical cord that is still attached to the mother?
The umbilical cord is never attached to the mother. The umbilical cord is attached to the placenta, which is inside of the mother's uterus. When the baby is delivered, the placenta comes out, and the umbilical cord attached to it comes out with it.
