- Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus also suffers damage to his spinal cord during the accident. Compare the likely degree of regeneration/recovery of his spinal cord with that of the injured skeletal muscles and describe the consequences of your observations for his quality of life and ability to remain active.arrow_forwardIn the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room in the radiology department, the technician has carefully placed Steve Wilson on the table. Steve is a 18-year-old who sustained a back injury during a football game. The technician explained the procedure and the importance of not moving during the long scan. What problem in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is due to the extremely long scan time?arrow_forwardIn which direction would an MRI scanner move to produce sequential images of the body in the frontal plane, and in which direction would an MRI scanner move to produce sequential images of the body in the sagittal plane?arrow_forward
- In 2003, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine wasawarded to Paul C. Lauterbur and Sir Peter Mansfield fordiscoveries related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).This is a tool to see the structures of the body (not just thenervous system) that depends on magnetic fields associatedwith certain atomic nuclei. The utility of this technique inthe nervous system is that fat tissue and water appear asdifferent shades between black and white. Because whitematter is fatty (from myelin) and gray matter is not, theycan be easily distinguished in MRI images. Visit the NobelPrize website (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nobel_2) toplay an interactive game that demonstrates the use of thistechnology and compares it with other types of imagingtechnologies. Also, the results from an MRI session arecompared with images obtained from x-ray or computedtomography. How do the imaging techniques shown in thisgame indicate the separation of white and gray mattercompared with the freshly dissected tissue…arrow_forwardTwo visibly different types of tissue occur in both the brain and the spinal cord. _______ consists of bundles of myelin-sheathed axons called tracts. _____consists of cell bodies, dendrites, and supporting neuroglial cells.arrow_forward
