Meninges

Going to a cadaver lab can be very scary and uncomfortable for some people who don’t know what to expect. For me going to the cadaver lab was very exciting but I was a bit nervous for what the environment would be like and how much you would actually see of the cadaver. I expected the room to be very cold and dark, with no windows. I also pictured it to have stainless steel everywhere and be extremely sterile. For the actual cadaver it self I figured the body would be still covered in skin and the

What is the nervous ssystem? Thecentral nervous system consists of two things and that consist of the brain and the spinal cord. This is referred to as the "central". It combines different information from our entire bbody This coordinates the activities across the whole organism of our body. The most complex organ that we have in our body mainly uses up to 20 percent of our oxygen that is in and out of our systems every day. It comes to our brain this consist of an estimated 100 billion neurons

deterioration; she left the hospital after 3 month of hospitalization, on Isoniazid and Rifampin p.o treatment for 9 months. Six month later she died. Background After reaching a primary focus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes bacteremia and spread to meninges and brain parenchyma, to rupture then into subarachnoid space. This rupture leaves many sequelae among which cerebral tuberculous vasculitis is a really dramatic one. The following diagram highlights these

A craniotomy is the surgical removal of a section of the skull to allow access to the brain. This procedure may be undertaken for the treatment of numerous conditions including brains tumors, aneurysms, epilepsy, stroke, damage to the meninges, or hematomas. During the procedure, that patient is anesthetized, either under general anesthesia (such as for trauma, strokes, or a number of other procedures) or local anesthesia so that the patient may be awake for the procedure (such as for some tumor

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges and affects the brain and spinal cord. There are five types of meningitis: viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and non-infectious meningitis. The symptoms are somewhat similar, though the causes and recommended treatments differ. Bacterial meningitis is the most contagious type of meningitis. All types of meningitis can be very debilitating to your health if not treated promptly (Centers for

BIOL 2164 Pathogen Poster SafeAssign Template Name: Eyerusalem Gebeyhu Section:307 ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae was discovered by Louis Pasteur in pneumonia patients in 1881. It is a gram positive coccus that forms short chains or more commonly, pairs and classified in its own genus, called “Diplococcus”. Streptococcus pneumonie is a pneumococcal pneumonia consists about 85 % of all cases of pneumonia. Around ninety two different strains of S. Pneumoniae, collectively called pneumococci

respiratory route, genitourinary tract, nasopharynx, however, the most common is the infection via respiratory tract. The infection is usually caused by infection from another part of the body, meaning that the causative agents travel from bloodstream to meninges or directly from infection in the body, for example, ear infection. When the agents reach the nervous system they survive in the body because of the lack of the response of the immune system. Anyone can get meningitis at any point in their life

from the combination of thicken exudate and swollen meningeal cells. Engorged blood vessels and thrombi can disrupt blood flow, causing further injury. 2. Neisseria meningitides is a form of bacteria that infects the meninges of the brain, in which, affects the brain membrane. The meninges become edematous and affects cerebral spinal fluid. As a result, increased cerebral pressure is exhibited. This form of bacteria is “transmitted from person-to-person through droplets of respiratory or throat secretions

Spina Bifida in School Aged Children Brooke Roose For Mrs. Julie Miller 10/16/16 Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect that is present at birth.
