Description: The central core disease is a disorder which is known to affect the skeletal muscles—muscles that are needed for movement. It generates weakness within the muscles. It also damages the tone of skeletal muscles and hardens their ability to contract with ease. Signs and symptoms • poor muscle tone (hypotonia) • weakness in muscles (often in facial muscles) • Muscle cramps • skeletal deformities such as joint dislocations and scoliosis • Delayed physical development

From cases studies as early as 1848‚ in which head injuries resulted in changes of personality and behaviour. The prefrontal cortex was identified as a region of interest as specific head wounds to this area resulted in increased aggression and violence. The improvement of neuropsychological testing and brain imaging has further

result in the death of the human being. From the Brain-Death theory‚ death is defined as an irreparable cessation of brain function. Therefore‚ it follows that a fetus becomes a human being when it possesses the essential property of a human being that is‚ having a brain that has not suffered irreparable cessation of function. To reinforce this conviction‚ he added that by the sixth week of conception‚ when the fetus possesses a functioning brain‚ all the other properties that are required for being

Basal ganglia: This area consists of three clusters of neurons (these are called globus pallidus‚ caudate nucleus‚ and putamen). These are situated at the bottom of the brain that accounts for the involuntary movements like tremors. 2. Corpus collosum: This thick band of nerve fibers connects both of the brains hemispheres. 3.

The Brain The central core of the human brain‚ often referred to as the “old brain”‚ is the most primitive part of the brain and can be found in all vertebrates dating back more than 500 million years. The central core is designed to help the human body with basic survival functions such as breathing‚ heartbeat‚ movement‚ balance‚ and sleep. Without the central core‚ the brain would not be able to do major task like telling our hearts to beat and how fast. The central core of the human brain

Cerebral palsy encompasses a group of conditions that are caused by problems in brain development. Disturbances in the brain usually occur during fetal or infant brain development and effects movement and motor control in children (Lisovska‚ 2016). The cerebral cortex‚ which is the part of the brain responsible for directing muscle movement‚ is damaged and cerebral palsy thus develops. Cerebral palsy can be classified into four types which are made distinct because of its location and abnormality

Cerebral Palsy Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a term used to describe disorders of movement that result from injury to the brain. It is a problem of muscle coordination. Cerebral Palsy can be caused by numerous problems occurring in the prenatal period‚ prematurity‚ labor and delivery complication in the newborn period. Due to genetic or chromosomal abnormality to the brain may not develop in the typical way. Some environmental factors such as drugs metabolic problems and placental dysfunction may also

Knowing and executing your role as an individual to the best of your ability allows you be a valued member of any team. It is also essential to know the roles of those around you. This allows you to fully understand and
