What does diffuse disc bulge at L4-L5 causing mild narrowing of bilateral foramina indicative of?
What the radiology report indicates is that you've got a herniated disk at the L4/5 vertebrae, which is pressing forward into the spinal cord passageway. The foramen is the narrow passage in the vertebrae where the spinal cord runs through.
Why might an injury to the lower spinal cord cause loss of sensation in the legs?
Because the nerves that keep the brain in touch with the body are in the spine there fore if these are sufficiently damaged or severed the result is that there is no contact with the brain and if the brain does not get the message you don't feel any thing.
What are symptoms of spinal cord tumors?
When the tumor presses on the spinal cord, it causes symptoms including; back pain.severe or burning pain in other parts of the body.numbness or cold.progressive loss of muscle strength or sensation in the legs.loss of bladder or bowel control.
What kind of cells are also named neurons?
The cells are also called nerve cells. They carry information into the spinal cord and brain and out of the cord and brain to the body.
- S = 600 Volt Service Cord
- J = Junior Service - 300 Volt
- T = Thermoplastic
- E = Elastomer - thermoplastic that looks and feels like rubber
- O = Oil Resistant Outer Jacket
- OO = Oil Resistant Outer Jacket and Oil Resistant Insulation
- W = CSA Weather and Water Resistant (approved for indoor and outdoor use)
It extends from the medulla oblongata to the first or second lumbar vertebra (L1 or L2).
Cavity that protects brain and spinal cord?

Which part of the spinal cord affects the absence of the calcaneal tendon?

What is the extension of the meninges inferior to the termination of the spinal cord called?
Filium terminale
What is the physiology of vocal cord nodules and polyps?
The vocal cords, located in the voice box in the middle of the neck, are two tough, fibrous bands that vibrate to produce sound.
CAN reflex action controlled by spinal cord?
Simple reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord. The message travels from the sense receptors near the skin through the afferent nerve fibers to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the messages are relayed through association neurons to the efferent nerve fibers, which carry them to the muscle cells that cause the reflex movement.
Does peripheral refer to torso and head?
Peripheral nerves may refer to the head and torso. The peripheral nerves carry information from the spinal cord to the rest of the body as well as information to and from the brain.

TRUE
Which is worse a c6 or c7 spinal cord injury?
The spinal cord does not need to be severed in order to be classified as a spinal cord injury. The C stands for cervical which means it is in the neck. The 6 and 7 are the vertebrae down from the skull. The largest vertebrae on your neck is number 7, so that injury is between that one and the one directly above it. I received a spinal cord injury at 6 and 7 in 1999 in a Ford Explorer rollover accident. My 6 and 7 slid out of place about 70%. Because of the damage done to the nerve cells they died. That is what caused the spinal cord injury.
no idea. the web gave absoulutly no good information to that question i am sorry

pia ma·ter (mtr, mätr)n.The fine vascular membrane that closely envelops the brain and spinal cord under the arachnoid and the dura mater.
( dura mater is the OUTERMOST layer. )
Collectively the dura mater arachnoid mater and pia mater are called the?
The meninges, i.e. the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
