At this stage, children from ages 2 to 6 are having major changes in their physical, cognitive and social/emotional area. For example, physically their skeletal system is growing tremendously, and their nervous system is working extra hard to keep up with the demands of the energize children. the brain increases it's weight to 90 percent of the total adult weight it will reach. The cerebral cortex plays an important role in the development of children since the number of synapses is nearly double the adult value. The cerebellum helps in balance and control of the body movement;the linkage of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex strengthens from birth throughout early childhood causing a remarkable gain in motor coordination.…
The cranial nerves are made up of twelve categories with different functions. These categories are numbered with Roman numerals. The first cranial nerve is the Olfactory nerve which is involved in the sense of smell. The function of sense of smell works when the receptors in the epithelium of inside the nose sends signals to the brain (World of anatomy and physiology, 2007). The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve which is involved with the ability to see.…
1.1 Overview CSF definition It is a well-known fact that the brain lies within the skull and the spinal cord lies within the vertebral column. Between the soft neutral tissues and the bones that house them are three types of membranous coverings called meninges. Some of the space between these coverings is called subarachnoid space and filled with clear and colorless fluid (cerebrospinal fluid “CSF”). CSF circulates inside the central nervous system through the ventricular part of this system and is finally absorbed into the bloodstream.…
A friend can be or could be homogeneous to a second encephalon to you. An encephalon comprehends information, holds recollections, and much more. A friend conserves the recollections made with you and support’s you in anything if they optate to. Both can avail you in any situation you are in or at least they can fortify you. It’s your cull on which one works or avails you the best.…
Parasympathetic nervous system is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). It general function is to control homeostasis and the body’s rest-and-digest response. Its function is to control the body’s response while at rest. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS.…
The human body consists of two nervous systems: Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord, whereas, the PNS consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The PNS connects the rest of the body to the CNS. The PNS are grouped into two categories, sensory (afferent) nerves and motor (efferent) nerves. Sensory nerves convey information from receptors to the CNS.…
Cranial nerves - these are made up of twelve pairs. They supply the organs of the neck and head. They are usually sensory or motor but can be a mix of both. Cranial nerves include vision, smell, taste and hearing.…
Occurring mostly in males, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an X-linked disorder that includes progressive muscle weakening caused by an insufficient gene for the production of a protein in the muscles called dystrophin. (Lucas-Heron, 1995) It affects about one in 3600-6000 live male births, making it the most common form of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms are most often noticeable by the time patients reach the age of three to five. The affected males will lose their ability to walk by eight to twelve years of age, making them wheelchair dependent.…
7 cranial nerve pairs out of 12 pairs in human nervous system function more or less in speech or hearing; these are the cranial nerves V (Trigeminal), VII (Facial), VIII (Vestibulocochlear), IX (Glossopharyngeal), X (Vagus), XI (Spinal Accessory), and XII (Hypoglossal). These have particular roles other than assisting speech or hearing. Furthermore, most clinical tests for cranial nerve functions neither are recommended to be performed by speech and hearing pathologists, nor are they related to speech or hearing. But the interpretations should be comprehended by speech and hearing pathologists as they provide indirect evidence of some pathology due to cranial nerve lesion.…
The Nervous System is divided into two major sections, the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral System (PNS). The CNS contains everybody's brain and spinal cord; this is where our body receives sensory information, generates thoughts and emotions, and stores our memories at. Our PNS contains our nerves and axons; this section is responsible to give and take information to and from the CNS. Our Peripheral System is then broken into two more sections called the Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The SNS allows the voluntary control of our muscles and skeletal actions and our ANS is mostly for our involuntary functions and regulating homeostasis.…
Background Neurodevelopment is defined as “the dynamic inter-relationship between genetic, brain, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes across the developmental lifespan [1].” Neurodevelopmental disorders are defined as a group of conditions caused by damage to the neurological development process which cause long term delays in development. These disorders normally begin in infancy, when development is most crucial, and remain fairly consistent throughout adulthood. Neurodevelopmental disorders include but are not limited to the following: autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Rett Syndrome (RTT), developmental coordination disorder (DCD), cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities (ID), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),…
The central nervous system is made of two components the spinal cord and the brain. Both the central and peripheral systems are very different from each other. While the central nervous system deals the inside the peripheral systems extends on the outside of the central nervous system. The PNS can be controlled voluntary but not the CNS. In the CNS the skulls protects the brain as for the PNS it is not protected by any bone.…
The Cerebellum is located in the back of the brain, on the brain stem, and controls balance and coordination of the muscles. It is also a part of learning, remembering simple skills, and remembering learned reflexes. If the cerebellum were to be damaged then the person with the damage would have problems when it came to balance and coordination; for example, they would have a high likelihood of walking into things and falling, as their movements would be twitchy, and would not be able to drive, or do things of that sort, due to their inability to judge distance…
Your body works in many ways such as breathing. You don’t even have to think about doing it your body just does it by itself. The sympathetic nervous system is your body’s way to deal with stress. When the body is in danger the nervous system sends a message of fight or flight. When playing a scary video game the body thinks its in danger and prepares to deal with the danger or flea away.…
Mortimer et privopoulos et Kumar(2015) This study was aimed to examine the effectiveness of hydrotherapy on social interactions and behaviours in the treatment of children with ASDs. The participants in these studies were aged between 3–12 years of age. The duration of the intervention ranged from 10–14 weeks, and each study used varied measures of outcome.…
