Outline
Today's Discussion
Nerves are cylindrical bundles of fibers beginning at the brain and the central cord and extending to some other part of the body.
Major new e pidemiological analyzes focus attention on nervous system disorders as important causes of death and disability worldwide
The nervous system is a sophisticated, complex system which controls and regulates the activities of the body.
Introduction
Contd..
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
It comprises of the spinal cord and the brain.
The nervous system's main organs include: sensory organs of smell and taste sensory receptors located in the joints, muscles, skin, etc.
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
It comprises of all other neural elements, including the autonomic nerves and the peripheral nerves.
Two Main Divisions of Nervous System
The thinking ability and reason and the nervous systemmakes you aware and has language, memories and thoughts.
Feeling, smell, taste, hearing and sight.
Involuntary and voluntary functions, such as balance coordination and movement.
Blood flow and blood pressure, are often controlled by the nervous system.
Functions of Nervous System
Causes and Risk Factors The nervous system is susceptible to numerous disorders
including blood flow, disruption, tumors, structural defects, degeneration, infections and trauma.
D egeneration, such as Alzheimer disease, Huntington chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease.
Functional disorders, such as neuralgia, dizziness, epilepsy and headache.
Contd..
Vascular disorders, such as extradural hemorrhage, subarachnoidhemorrhage, transient ischemic attack and stroke
Structural disorders, such asGuillain-Barré syndrome, peripheralneuropathy, spinal cord or brain tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
I nfections, such as epidural abscess, polio, encephalitis and meningitis.
Symptoms of a problem with the nervous system depend on which region of the nervous system is affected and what triggers the issue.
Systematic search, Problems with the nervous system may suddenly occur and cause life-threatening problems or develop gradually and induce a progressive loss of function.
Symptoms can be mild or severe.
Symptoms can also include new l anguage impairment, slurred speech and muscle wasting, back pain which radiates to the toes, tremors and seizures, lack of coordination, impaired mental ability, etc.
Symptoms of Nervous System Disorder
There are different examinations and methods for the treatment of nervous system disorders.
A specialized X-ray called a fluoroscopy, in addition to the traditional X-ray, examines the body in motion, such as blood flowing through arteries.
Other standard neurological exams include a CT scan,electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a procedure that measures metabolism and brain activity of cells or tissues to detect tumors or tissues or tumors.
Diagnosing Nervous System Disorders
Spinal surgery.
Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injury or stroke.
Spinal cord stimulation.
Deep brain stimulation.
Medicines, possibly given by a drug pumps
Treatment for Nervous System Disorders
Never smoke or use any other tobacco products.
Do not consume alcohol or unwanted drugs.
Limit the consumption of caffeinated drinks such as colas
and coffee.
Do daily exercise.
Drink abundant water and other liquids.
Eat a healthy diet.
To keep your body and nervous system healthy, follow the Guidelines below:
Prevention from Nervous System Disorders
Disorders of the nervous system which trigger the highest death and disability levels can be treatable and preventable.
Increased awareness of n eurological disorders' global effects should help healthcare planners.
The neurological community set adequate r esearch, prevention and management priorities for these conditions.
