NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ sensory organs‚ and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together‚ these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts. The brain and spinal cord form the control center known as the central nervous system (CNS)‚ where information is evaluated and decisions made. The sensory nerves and sense organs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) monitor conditions

If positive‚ a repeat test is done after 24-36 hours of antibiotic therapy. If still positive‚ modification of drug treatment may be necessary. CSF findings are elevated WBCs (predominantly PMNs)‚ elevated protein‚ dec glucose and positive culture results). Note that CSF WBC can be within range in 29% of GBS (group B strep) meningitis but 4% in gram-negative meningitis‚ and protein and glucose levels can also be within range in 50% and 15-20% respectively

Human Brain Ventricles are the 4 cavities in the brain. • The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced by choroid plexus. • CSF is the tissue fluid of the central nervous system (CNS). • (CSF) bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord within their bony confines. • CSF is produced by modified ependymal cells of the choroid plexus found in all components of the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct and the posterior and anterior

one of the single most common birth defects and most people have never heard of it. What happens is‚ the brain is producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) normally and fluid is drained from the brain into the spinal canal and is reabsorbed by the body‚ keeping the amount in the brain balanced. But when normal drainage doesn’t occur‚ the brain produces too much CSF fluid to be able to drain normally which leads to the build-up of fluid in the ventricles of the brain and causes pressure and enlarging of the
