Structure The spinal cord is a symmetrical reflex organ, i.e. divided into two similar halves (=bilateral) and, in contrast to the brain, has a relatively original and simple structure, which in principle looks the same in its various sections. Analogous to the spinal column, it can be divided into the breech or coccygeal marrow, which … Structure | Spinal cord
Situation development In infants, the spinal cord still fills the spinal canal up to the lower lumbar vertebrae, in children it reaches up to the 4th lumbar vertebra. This must be taken into account when withdrawing nerve fluid; one must then enter the spinal canal further down in order not to endanger the spinal cord. … Situation development | Spinal cord
Diseases of the spinal cord Basically, it has to be said that the pattern of failures that occurs depends on where exactly in the spinal cord there is damage. Even without imaging diagnostics such as CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), the clinical image can provide very useful information in this regard based … Diseases of the spinal cord | Spinal cord
The central nervous system (CNS) (also: central nervous system) is primarily responsible for sending impulses and messages. Stimuli are received from the environment and transmitted to the brain. Stimuli emanate from the nerves so that the body, its muscles and organs can do their work. What is the central nervous system? The nervous system is … Central Nervous System: Structure, Function & Diseases
All life originates from the sea. Therefore, there are conditions in the body that build on these original conditions of life. This means that vital building blocks in the organism are salts. They enable all physiological processes, are part of the organs and form ions in aqueous solution. Sodium and potassium chloride are dominant salts … Membrane Potential: Function, Role & Diseases
Synonyms Medulla oblongata, bulb medullae spinalis Definition The medulla oblongata is part of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the lowest (caudal) part of the brain. The medulla oblongata is counted together with the bridge (pons) and the midbrain (mesencephalon) as part of the brain stem (truncus cerebri). The medulla oblongata contains nerve nuclei … Extended Mark
MeaningFunction A disorder of the medulla oblongata is seen, for example, in patients with a so-called bulbar paralysis. In this case the cranial nerves running in the medulla are affected. These have the innervation of the pharyngeal and pharyngeal muscles in common. Accordingly, this clinical picture leads to partial paralysis of the muscles of the … MeaningFunction | Extended Mark
Synonyms diazepam Side effects One of the desired effects in some indications, namely sedation, can of course also become an undesirable side effect and manifest itself as drowsiness, heaviness and fatigue. It is therefore very important to point out to the patient that taking Valium® (Valium® side effects) will impair the patient’s ability to react, … Side effects of Valium

Overdosage can cause symptoms of poisoning as a side effect, which are primarily manifested in an overly strong expression of the actual effects. Only in combination with alcohol or other centrally attenuating substances does a relevant respiratory depression (respiratory arrest) occur. In case … Intoxication Poisoning with Valium | Side effects of Valium
Synonyms brain, spinal cord, meninges Logical thinking The own consciousness Emotions / Feelings And various learning processes. Communication of nerves When one speaks of nerve cells communicating with each other, this is essentially done by releasing chemical messengers (transmitters, neurotransmitters) into the vicinity of another nerve cell (neuron). The process is therefore similar to a … CNS central nervous system
Macroscopic anatomy The CNS is protected in the area of the head by the skull bones and on the back by the vertebral bodies, which form a spinal canal inside. It continues without a sharp border into the so-called “peripheral nervous system“, which emerges with its more or less long nerve fibers from the bony … Macroscopic anatomy | CNS central nervous system
