Cyril MIller Per.6 Spinal Muscular Atrophy Spinal muscular atrophy is a group of inherited diseases that cause muscle damage and weakness‚ which get worse over time and eventually lead to death. Causes: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a collection of different muscle diseases. Grouped together‚ it is the second leading cause of hereditary neuromuscular disease‚ after Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Most of the time‚ a person must get the defective gene from both parents to be affected. About 4

OB PROJECT (WEEK 4) Definition: Spinal Bifida- congenital neural tube defect in which the vertebral spaces fail to close‚ allowing a herniation of the spinal contents into a sac. There are three types of spinal bifida: spinal bifida occulta‚ meningocele‚ and myelomeningocele. Cause: In spinal bifida‚ the vertebral spaces do not close‚ which allows herniation of the spinal contents into a sac. Risk factors include: • Genetic problems • Infection • Children born into lower socioeconomic families

MRI of the cervical spine done dated 12/15/2015 revealed 2 to 3mm bulges at C5 to C6 with bilateral foraminal narrowing at C5 to C6 and mild right foraminal narrowing at C6 to C7. There are 2mm disc bulges contacting the cord at C3 to C4 and C4 to C5. The cervical spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity and caliber. The vertebral bodies are normally aligned. There are minimal anterior osteophytes at C3 to C4 and C4 to C5. As per office visit note dated 4/12/16‚ the patient complains of

Plastination Plastination Have you ever wondered how medical students get their knowledge on how they understand the human anatomy? I would believe in two ways. Books and Plastination. Books are a good reference that just shows pictures. Plastination would be the way to go. Plastination is a technique or a process used in anatomy to preserve bodies or body parts. It was first developed by Gunther Von Hagens in 1977. In November 1979 Gunther applied for a German patent‚ proposing

TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. The term anatomy refers to the structure and relationship of body parts such as tissues and organs. Physiology on the other hand is how these structures work as in individual and in the body as a whole. Take the circulatory system for example. The heart itself‚ blood vessels and blood is the anatomy. How these
