Module 08 Case Study: CNS Movement Disorders Part I—"Harry" Questions 1. What condition or conditions (disease/diseases) could Harry have as described in this case? Which one would be your primary diagnosis? In a very general explanation‚ describe this condition/disease. (1 point) Harry suffers from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‚ also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This disease affects a person’s motor neurons affecting voluntary motor control by damaging both the upper motor neuron and lower

22 SPINAL ANAESTHESIA SPINAL CORD ANATOMY VERTEBRAE Vertebral column is central bony pillar of the body. It is composed of 33 vertebrae; 7 cervical‚ 12 thoracic‚ 5 lumbar‚ 5 sacral and 4 coccygeal. Sacral hiatus is th th formed because of incomplete 5 and sometime 4 sacral laminae. A typical vertebra consists of a rounded body anteriorly and a vertebral arch posteriorly (arch consists of two pedicles and two laminae). The vertebral arch encloses the vertebral canal through which the spinal cord

If you are a child and have scoliosis‚ you are usually going to the doctors every four to six months to keep your scoliosis in check. The treatment most commonly used for children are braces. The brace is used when you have a spinal curve degree between 25 and 40 degrees‚ and you are still growing. Though the brace can’t actually reverse the damages of scoliosis‚ it can help to prevent it from getting worse. ( Osteoarthritis Health Center Scoliosis‚ 2 ) Another option is surgery

Spinal Cord- The spinal cord is a long‚ thin‚ tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the brain (the medulla oblongata specifically). The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. It is around 45 cm (18 in) in men and around 43 cm (17 in) long in women. Also

affect the regeneration of Brett’s neurons and neuron function? Clinical answer: For regeneration of neurons (getting sensory feeling back)‚ his type of injury involves the PNS neurons that were involved‚ rather than CNS neurons‚ so the chances of his neurons regenerating increase. Nerve generation depends on location of the injury‚ inflammatory responses‚ and the process of scarring. When nerves are cut‚ they often form connective tissue scars that block or slow regenerating axonal branches

The Central Nervous System The central nervous system (CNS) is the processing center for the nervous system and it controls the bodies movements (Bailey‚ Regina 2016). The brain and the spinal cord are the two main organs that communicate with the central nervous system. Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by 3 layers of tissue; much like guards. They are called the meninges. The Brain The brain is the central part of the central nervous system and it is protected by a hard skull

The tectospinal tract connects the midbrain and the spinal cord. It is responsible for motor impulses that arise from one side of the midbrain to muscles on the opposite side of the body. The function of the tectospinal tract is to mediate reflex postural movements of the head in response to visual and auditory stimuli. Damage signs would show prevention in being able to coordinate the head‚ neck‚ and eye movements. Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies including mediating vision

It is where our personalities and moods and emotions come from. * The brain of a human being makes up about one-fiftieth of
