disadvantages of peripheral nerve electrodes: Advantages: Nerve electrical activity can be recorded with the help of same electrodes, Electrical characteristics don 't seem to be suffering from changes in muscle length throughout the movement, Reduction of dangerous electrochemical processes. Disadvantages: Chance of damage to nervesdue to implantation of electrode, Implantation also requires sensitive surgical process, which depends upon the availability of the nerves. In this paper, the main aspects

child’s head, the angle between the neck and the shoulder is forcefully widened, overstretching the ipsilateral brachial plexus. Recently, the exact origin of OBPP was again a matter of debate. It was suggested that intrauterine maladaptation, not nerve traction, causes the plexopathy. [43] However OBPP at birth is one of the causes of permanent neurological disability. The delivery process is associated with several factors which, together, may result in OBPP in the newborn but it is difficult to

and outgoing flights. The central nervous system is the control center of our body, it sends information out and interprets things our body senses. Regulating, controlling and coordinating incoming and outgoing impulses, thoughts, and feelings via nerves. Functionally, the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (controls in-bound and out-bound neural impulses), and peripheral nervous system (connects the CNS with the peripheral parts of the body). The PNS can be divided into

targeting one of our major body functions. An example of two diseases that could affect our homeostasis within our Muscular and Nervous System are Hydrocephalus and Dystonia. The Nervous System is the system of our body that deal with the many nerves in our body that help us respond and react to things outside of our body that could or could not be conscious to us. The disease Hydrocephalus is a disease that affects the Nervous System through the brain. Hydrocephalus is when fluid that normally

16, 2014 A Case of Spinal Cord Injury 1. Describe the functional anatomy of the spinal cord using the following terms: white matter, gray matter, tracts, roots and spinal nerves. The spinal cord consists of a superficial White matter and a deep Gray matter. The white matter consists of myelinated axons, which form nerve tracts and the Gray matter consists of neuron cell bodies, dendrites and axons. The white matter in each half of the spinal cord is organized into ventral, dorsal and lateral

axillary arteries had to be reattached. Bicep and tricep muscle tissues and the humorous bone also had to be reattached. 3. What organ system was most likely not reattached? Explain. The nervous system, severed nerves cannot be reattached the same way; the severed nerves will not be useful again.

Spinal Cord Injury * Short Case Study #3 1. Describe the functional anatomy of the spinal cord using the following terms: white matter, gray matter, tracts, roots, and spinal nerves. * White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system, and it consists of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another as well as in between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies. Unlike

The somatic nervous system consists of efferent nerves responsible for stimulating muscle contraction, including all the non-sensory neurons connected with skeletal muscles and skin. The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary muscular systems within the body, and also mediates involuntary reflex

synapses, plexuses and nerves. (8 points) Movement of the deltoid begins in the cerebrum of the brain, but more specifically: in the frontal lobe, the premotor cortex is relaying instructions to the primary motor cortex. The primary motor cortex contains the upper motor neurons whose axons will travel down the pyramids of the medulla oblongata and synapse on lower motor neurons in the anterior gray horns of spinal cord segments C5-C6. From there, the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5-C6 form the superior

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease that has been known to physicians since the late 1860’s. ALS was first discovered in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it was not until 1939 when a famous baseball player, Lou Gehrig, brought national and international attention to the disease. Lou Gerhig, a New York Yankee baseball player, was known as the Iron Horse for his tremendous achievement of playing 2,130 consecutive
