Describe the basic anatomy of the human body affected by assisting and moving The human body is only able to assume it’s different posture and maintain its structure due to the skeletal system. The skeletal system is made up of bones which have an outer hard cortical layer and an inner soft trabecular layer made of cancellous bone. Within some long bone is the all important marrow from where all the blood cells originate after maturation. The skeletal system can be divided into 2 groups: 1.

he backbone (vertebral column) is the central axis of the skeleton. It extends from the base of the skull to the bottom of the pelvis. It consists of 26 individual bones grouped into five separate regions; The vertebrae‚ twelve thoracic vertebrae‚ five lumbar vertebrae‚ one sacral bone and one coccygeal bone. (Cinnamon L. VanPutte‚ Jennifer L. Regan‚ Andrew F. Russo‚ McGraw-Hill‚ 2010.) The Vertebral column also host major curvatures; The sacral and thoracic both concaving anteriorly and the lumbar

term "endorphin rush" has been adopted in popular speech to refer to a feeling of exhilaration that can be brought on by pain‚ danger‚ or other forms of stress‚[2] supposedly due to the influence of endorphins. When a nerve impulse reaches the spinal cord‚ endorphins that prevent nerve cells from releasing more pain signals are released. History[edit source | editbeta] Opioid neuropeptides were first discovered in 1974 by two independent groups of investigators: John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz

1. Briefly explain how does the body maintain homeostasis? Homeostasis is a existence and maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis is maintain by negative and positive feedback mechanism. Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. In these system‚ the output shut off the original stimulus or reduce its intensity. These mechanisms cause the variable to change in a direction opposite to that of the initial change‚ returning it to its “ideal”

injection of a single drug. A variety of other agents have been added to epidural infusions Epinephrine can induce a synergistic analgesic on the spinal cord as well as elicit vasoconstriction on the blood vessels for decreased absorption of local anesthetic36. Other multimodal approaches have utilized small doses of ketamine‚ an NMDA antagonist in the spinal cord‚ for sensory blockade and prevention of central sensitization of nociceptors37.

Which Treatment for Phantom Limb Pain Based on Central Mechanisms is Most Effective? Abstract Phantom limb pain is a common symptom experienced by over 90% of amputees. It’s defined as a painful sensation from a part of the body that no longer exists. There are a variety of methods for treating this neuropathic pain‚ but at the moment there is no specific treatment to tackle the pain completely. A mixture of medications and therapies has been proposed and trialed including drugs‚ surgical treatment

It does this through the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains nerves that branch out to every organ

According to Ketunnuti‚ Kronman (2012) Meningitis is described as the swelling of the membrane‚ mainly in the meninges. Meninges are the protective membrane that is responsible for covering the brain and the spinal cord. There are several causes of this disease‚ and the most common kind or type that is being very infectious‚ including being viral‚ bacterial‚ fungal and parasitic infections. For example is the acute bacterial meningitis‚ which is one of the kinds of meningitis‚ this is a pediatric
