Meninges

For a paramedic to be competent on traumatic incident, it is helpful to have knowledge of the anatomy of the affected area of injury. Prompt management and transportation to the correct Hospital treatment is key for appropriate patient care. Anatomy of the head and spine will aid in patient care when a traumatic event has injured these areas. Understanding the importance of traumatic injury to the chest and creating a good picture of what the problem may be from just signs and symptoms. These two

and How It Impacts the Brain Concussions are referred to as a traumatic brain injury which may affect the nervous system and lead to negative symptoms. “The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain” (Menon 1). These meninges are compromised at the moment of impact causing damage to the nervous system. Many symptoms can occur as a result of the concussion. Concussions impact the brain in negative ways causing damage. Concussions have multiple

faced forward. The pathologist palpates the head to examine any skull damages or trauma. He starts removing the brain by incision in the back of the skull, and then the scalp is removed. The brain is coved by meninges which are composed of three thin layers. There is no abnormality of meninges found. However, there is deficiency of blood supply of the brain arteries; therefore, he predicts that the victim had ischemic stroke before death. There is no evident of dementia such as Alzheimer

There are thirteen serogroup classifications of Neisseria meningitidis that fall under the genus Neisseria which are closely related to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Of the thirteen serogroups - A, B, C, D, 29E, H, I K, L, W-135, X, Y, and Z only three genetic strains have been sequenced: Z2491 from serogroup A, MC58 from serogroup B and FAM18 from serogroup C and all three of those strains contain a single circular chromosome that has a GC pair content of 51%. Several strains of this bacteria contain pili

Spina bifida, a type of birth defect meaning, “cleft spine” affects many babies around the globe in that their neural tube incorrectly closes and affects their spinal cord and brain. The three most common types of spina bifida are spina bifida occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele—in the order of least to the most debilitating. The birth defect is most commonly diagnosed with the Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein blood test, as well as other tests. The complications occurring with the most

My name is Matthew Xin, and I am currently a member of the Class of 2016 at the Wellington School in Upper Arlington. Although I haven’t yet decided on a college major, I’ve narrowed the options down to something involving the natural sciences or engineering. I also have developed a list of top choices for college, which in its current incarnation is wide-ranging, consisting of schools from Ohio State University to Stanford University. I first decided to research a disease involving the brain because

The central nervous system (CNS) is that portion of the vertebrae nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Together with the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the other major portion of the nervous system, the CNS coordinates the body's interaction with the environment. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity, with the brain in the cranial subcavity (the skull), and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity (within the vertebral column). Then human nervous system is the most

However, that being said it still is a serious medical condition that continues to have the potential of high mortality and morbidity. Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord, medically called the meninges. This inflammation may be caused by virus, bacteria, certain microorganisms, and even by certain drugs. The reason it is so serious is due to the proximity to the brain and spinal cord, which causes the condition to remain a serious medical emergency

The nervous system of Anniyas is a complicated network of nerve cells interlaced with one another and specialized cells performing one of the most complex functions in the bodies of Anniya. The nervous system serves as a network of communication to many organs of the body, and it also functions as a control system to maintain homeostasis of the Anniyas’ bodies. It controls numerous body activities through stimuli, hormones, and other methods. As the internal and external environment change, the nervous

Define homeostasis, give three examples , and explain the principle of negative feedback and how this maintains health. Homoeostasis is the maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions despite continuous changes in environment. Some examples of homeostasis is regulation of blood pH, body temperature, and concentration of sugar. A negative feedback system is when the actions of the effectors weakens the stimuli. Most of homeostatic mechanisms are negative feedback. Negative feeback is a big
