Cranial nerves

system(PNS) consists of all cranial, and spinal nerves in the body. The nervous system and especially the brain, are the most complex organs in humans. The brain allows cognitive thought, control of skeletal muscles, and it controls a myriad of other involuntary actions inside the body (from making the heart beat, regulating internal heat/ph/sugar levels, to digestion, sleeping, and many more functions required for life). The spinal cord, and all the body’s nerves transmit: sensory…

Rheumatic Fever is an acute systemic inflammatory condition that appears to result from an abnormal immune reaction occurring a few weeks after an untreated infection, usually caused by certain strains of group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. The preceding infection commonly appears as an upper respiratory infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or strep throat. Antibodies to the streptococcus organisms form and then react with connective tissue called collagen in the skin, joints, brain, and heart…

My group did our dissections on the Frog, they belong to the Chordate phylum because of its endoskeleton, and their nerve cord that runs along the spinal cord and connects to their brains. This means that they have a central and peripheral nervous system. Back to their brains, they’re divided into three parts, the fore-brain, mid-brain and hind-brain. The fore-brain controls the frogs sense of smell (the Olfactory lobe), along with the cerebral hemispheres, and diencephalon. The mid-brain…

Sex Identification In regards to the human os coxae, Bruzek et al. worked to develop a new tool for sex estimation based on the measurements (Bruzek 2017). They used a database of known sex subjects to develop the Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste v2 (Bruzek 2017). The combination of different dimensions can be used to determine likely sex, and as dimensions are added the likelihood increases to higher that 90% (Bruzek 2017). This method used ten metric variables in order to identify the likely…

permanent damage. The following report will discuss a clinical case of a patient involved in a car accident. The accident caused a severe crush injury to his legs, leading to the potential of the aforementioned conditions. Furthermore, the patient's cranial nerve examination will be analysed to evaluate the level of head trauma sustained in the accident.…

its own through its complex intrinsic nervous system. The brain of the heart is composed of an intricate network of different types of neurons, support cells, proteins, and neurotransmitters. This network has an elaborate circuitry responsible for cranial brain’s independent action, for instance, sensing, learning, and memory. Further, the nervous system of the heart consist over 40,000 neurons known as sensory neurites. These enable information transmitted from the heart to pass through several…

The autonomic nervous system is apart of the nervous system that receives instructions from the brain. It has two parts which are the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic nervous system controls the bodes response to a perceived threat and is responsible for the fight, flight or freeze response. Where as the parasympathetic nervous system function is to control the homeostasis and the bodies rest and digest response. The sympathetic nervous system has a thoraco-lumbar outflow from…

Chief Complaint Followup of CVA and diabetic third nerve palsy. History Patient is a 57-year-old left-handed white male who presents with his wife for followup of two recent hospitalizations. He was initially hospitalized at July 25, 2015, when he went to bed feeling fine and got up at four in the morning and noted that there was something wrong with his left foot. He thought maybe he slept on it wrong. He went back to bed, but when he woke up again, it was still a problem. He did present…

In this condition, a number of tissues in the head are partially or completely missing, including forebrain and cerebrum. Increased cranial pressure may have an effect on Anencephaly and it is proposed in a study [4] that raised cranial pressure can occur as a result of obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the head to the spine. In few other studies, lab rats are being experimented upon to study the morphogenesis…

TITLE OF THE ESSAY Introduction In the year of 1984, an almost complete skeleton, with the exception of the hands and feet, of an eight-year old boy was found by Kamoya Kimeu in Nariokotome near Lake Turkana in Kenya (Brown et al., 1986). The Nariokotome Boy, formerly known as the Turkana Boy/WT 15000, was very special in that it was the only hominid from the H.erectus produced with the most complete skeleton and was chronometrically dated back to about 1.6 million years (Brown et al., 1986).…
