The Nervous System [PDF]

open access: possibleCollege English, 1996
or his second attempt, my father selected a set of kitchen knives and, when he got to the garage, a hammer from his toolbox. Shortly after my mother found him, the emergency crew rushed him to the hospital and the neighbors and the parish priest arrived to offer what services they could. Then, amidst the frenzied activity in the Intensive Care Unit, my

The Autonomic Nervous System

2011
The autonomic nervous system innervates the visceral organs, the glands and the blood vessels. It regulates the internal environment, and it is largely responsible for maintaining normal bodily functions such as respiration, blood pressure and micturition. The peripheral autonomic nervous system consists of two parts, a thoracolumbar or sympathetic and

GANGLIOSIDES IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Neurochemistry International, 1983
Gangliosides, sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids, are embedded in neural plasma membranes to provide cell surface recognition sites with negative charges. Exogenous ligands such as bacterial toxins, hormones, growth factors, antibodies, viruses, and interferons bind to specific gangliosides to induce sequential activations of cellular ...

Vasculitis of the nervous system

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2004
Vasculitis refers to heterogeneous clinicopathologic disorders that share the histopathology of inflammation of blood vessels. When unrecognized and therefore untreated, vasculitis of the nervous system leads to pervasive injury and disability making this a disorder of paramount importance to all clinicians.Remarkable progress has been made in the ...

Nervous system

2013
Rheumatological conditions may be complicated by a variety of both central and peripheral nervous system disorders. Common complications such as entrapment neuropathies are familiar to rheumatologists but accurate diagnosis of less common neurological disorders may be challenging; careful clinical reasoning is essential,

Complexity and the Nervous System

Science, 1999
Advances in the neurosciences have revealed the staggering complexity of even “simple” nervous systems. This is reflected in their function, their evolutionary history, their structure, and the coding schemes they use to represent information. These four viewpoints need all play a role in any future science of “brain complexity.”

The Nervous System

2009
Over the last few years, embryonic stem (ES) cells have emerged as a powerful tool to study brain development and function in vitro and in vivo. The isolation of human ES cells has further stimulated ES cell research directed toward cell-therapeutic applications, assessing the potential of ES cells as a source of a range of somatic cell types affected ...
