The spinal canal is the hollow vertical hole formed by the bones of the spinal column. Anything that causes this bony hole to shrink can squeeze the nerves inside. This narrowing can irritate the nerve roots that branch out from the spinal cord‚ or it can squeeze and irritate the spinal cord itself. This may cause pain‚ numbness‚ or weakness‚ most

Spinal cord injury happens when an acute traumatic damage to the a certain area or the complete spinal cord (including the intervertebral disc joints) or nerves roots within the spinal column occurs. This type of injury can cause stretching‚ bruising‚ pressure‚ severing and laceration. The cauda equina is a bundle of spinal nerves and spinal nerve roots‚ that can be damaged as well and results in temporary or permanent loss of movement

too similar‚ then the vapor produced at any given temperature will be a mixture of the two compounds. This time‚ a process called fractional distillation can be used. Fractional distillation uses a column that allows many small distillations to occur as the vapor ascends the fractional distillation column. Purpose: In this experiment we aim to demonstrate that we can separate two volatile compounds from a mixture due to the different chemical properties of each compound. We will accomplish this by
