slight paralysis

paralysis

• neurons (basic structure)
• neuroglia (supporting structures) 

•  soma 
• dendrites
• axon 
• synapses 

impulse carrying fibers called nerves

• Central nervous system
• peripherals nervous system
• autonomic nervous system 

line brain ventricles

wrap axons , myelination

support capillaries

Engluf invading microorganisims and dead tissue

Largest portion of the brain , maeks right and left hmispheres 

anterior section of each cerebral hmisphere 

portion posterior to the frontal lobe , responsible for pain tem and touch sensation

portion that lies below the front lobe , hearing taste and smell

responsible for vision

responsible for higher mental functions

Gray matter muclei deep within the brain, responsible for relaying sensory information

• Dura matter
• Arachnoid 
• pia mater

interconnected cavities within the cerebral hemisphere , filled with cerebrospinal fluid

Plasma like clear fluid circulating in and around the brain and spinal cord

column of nervous tissues from the brainstem through the vertebrae -responsible for nerve conduction

nerves that branch from the central nervous system 

nerves that conduct imulses from the body parts and carry sensory information to the brain

nerves that conduct motor imulses from the brain to muscles and glands

nerves that carry involuntary impulses to smooth muscle cardiac muscle and various glands

control center for the autonomic nervous system located below the thalamus

division of the ANS concerned primarily with preparing the body in stressful or emergency situations

restores body to a restful state after stressful experience

condtion without speech because of localized brain injury

difficulty speaking

referring to levels of decreased consciousness with varying responsiveness

state of mental confusion 

impairment of intellectual funtion memory loss disorientation and confusion

temporary or permanent loss of motor control

defected (flabby) or absent muscle control cuased by a nerve lesion

Stiff and awkward muslce control caused by a nervous system disorder

partial paralysis of the right or left half of thebody

pain that follows the pathway of the sciatic nerve 

sudden transient disturbances in brain function abnormal firing of nerve impulses

fainting

evoking a response by touching 

increased sensitivitiy to stiumlations such as touch or pain

abnormal sensation of numbness and tingling without objective cause

any of many types of loss of neurological function

Knowing or mind hypNOsis

disease of structural changes in the brain resulting in an irreversible deterioration  -forgetfullness disorientation loss of intellectual functions, total disability anddeath

progressive deterioration of motor nerve cells resulting in loss of muscle control. - weakness in muscles, including speech muscles, swallowing breathing total paralysis and death

Condtion of motor dysfunction caused by damage to the cerebrum during development

disorder resulting from a change within one or moew blood vessels of the brain

damage to the braing cuased by verebrovascular disesase (occulsion of a blood vessel by an emolus)

breif episode of loss of blood flow to the brain usually caused by a partial occlusion that rulsts in temporary neruological deficit

inflammation of hte brain

disorder affecting the central nervous system characterized by refurrent seizures 

stiffening jerking major motor seizure grand mal

involving a brief loss of consciousness without motor involvement

seizure involving only limited areas of the brain with localized symptoms

tumor of the glial cells graded by degree of maligancy

protusion of a degenerated or fragmented intervertebral disk

viral diesease affecting the peripheral nerves charcterzied by painful blisters shingles

hereditary disease of the ventral nervous system

abnormal accumlation of the cerebrospinal fluid in the ventrilces of the brain

benign tumor of the coverings of the brain

inflammation of the meninges

Disease of the central nervous system charaterized by the demyelination of nerve fibers-neurological dysfunction

sleep disorder

condition of slowly progressive degeneration of a area of the brain -decrease of dopamine which is necessary for proper movement

paralysis

• record of the minute electrical imulses of the brain
•  

needle into the psine of the lumbar region for dianostic purpose (gets cerebrospinal fluid)

nuclear medicine and computed tomography to produce images of brain anatomy (used to study strokes, alzheimers, epilepsy , etc)

xray of blood vessels with inection of contrast medium

testperformed to observe the bodys respose to a stimulus

response to stimulation of the plantar surface of the foot- can be used to determine brain function

excision of a part of the skull

incision into the skull to get to the brain

removal of a herniated disk

excision of one or more laminae of the vertebrate

agent that induces sleep

state of unresponsiveness

persistant belief that has no basis in reality

exaggerated unfounded feeling of wellbeing

false percepteion of the senses

state of abnormal elations and increased activity

mental condition characterized by distortion of reality

used to treat psychosis, like schizophrenia

disease of brain chemistry causing a distorted cognitive and emotional perception of ones environment
