NERVOUS SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The nervous system is a complex network of nervous and cell that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord vsrious parts of the body.

The nervous system includes both the
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) &
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS).

Basic structure and function of the nervous system is called "NEURON".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

The nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body's activities. It controls not only the maintenance of normal functions but also the body's ability to cope with emergency situations.

The nervous system has two functions :

1. Sensary Function
2. Motor Function

1. SENSORY FUNCTIONS :

● Superficial Sensory Function (Examples - Heat, cold etc)
● Deep Sensory Function (Example pain)
● Special Sensory Function (Example Eyes for vision, Ears for hearing, Nose for Smell, Tongue for taste)

2. MOTOR FUNCTION

Motor function has two types

1. Upper motor function (Brain to Medulla)
2. Lower motor function (Medulla to Spinal cord)

1. UPPER MOTOR FUNCTION :

● Frontal lobe (Examples Reading,  writing, analysis, speaking, sitting, standing, running)
● Parietal lobe (Example Superficial and deep function)
● Occipital lobe (Example vision)
● Temporal lobe (Examples Hearing, taste, smell)
● Limbic lobe (Examples Emotion, feelings, Sexual functions and behaviour)


2. LOWER MOTOR FUNCTION :

Upper lobe connected to Mid Brain.
Middle lobe connected to Pons.
Lower lobe connected to Medulla.

● Functions of Upper lobe : Balance and Equalebrium
● Functions of Middle lobe : Muscle tone
● Functions of Lower lobe : Pattern of Walking.


BRAIN STEM : - Mid Brain, Pons and Medulla.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CRANIAL NERVES

Brain and Head is called cranial. Cranial 12 nerves are

1. Ol factory (smell)
2. Optic (vision)
3. Occulo motor nerve (eyes)
4. Trochlear nerves (eye muscles)
5. Trigiminal nerve (facial Sensary)
6. Abducent nerve (eye muscle)
7. Facial nerve (facial movement)
8. Vestibulo cocchlear nerve (balance, hearing)
9. Glosso pharangeal nerve (tongue)
10. Vagus nerve (heart, lungs and some internal parts)
11. Spinal accessory nerve (spinal area sensary)
12. Hypo glossal nerve (tongue tip portion)


POSITIONS OF CRANIAL NERVES

● Nerves 1 and 2 - Temporal
● Nerves 3,4,5 - Mid Brain
● Nerves 6,7,8 - Pons
● Nerves 9,10,11,12 - Medulla.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPINAL NERVES

1. Cervical nerves (C1-C8)
2. Thoracic nerves (T1-T12)
3. Lumbar nerves (L1-L5)
4. Sacral nerves (S1-S5)
5. Coccys nerve (C1 one pair)

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISEASES :

1. Cereberal stroke
2. Parkinson disease
3. Brain infection
4. Meningitise - Inflammation (heat, swelling, pain)
5. Micro cephalus (small)
6. Macro cephalus (Enlarge)
7. Dementia (Recent Dementia/ Remote Dementia)
8. Fit (General - complete body shivering / Local - only hand and legs shivering.  Fit is abnormal function of Brain)
9. Intra Cranial Pressure (ICP)
10. Numbness
11. Sensary loss(partially or completely)

C1 to C8 -

1. Policeman tips hand defarmity (only effects childrens)
Condition name - Era palsy (C4, C5, C6, C7)
2. Wrist drop (Saturday night palsy)
3. Neck pain.

T1 to T12 - Back pain, chest pain, scoliosis (bending of the spinal cord)

L1 to L5 - Abdomina problems,  low back pain, knee pain

S1 to S5 - Back pain, leg and foot pain, foot drop

C1 (Coccys) - Hip and pelvic pain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION

The nervous system is the first body system to develop in the human embryo an indication of its importance to the rest of the body. It is sometimes reffered to as the "master system".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIFE STYLE SUGGESTIONS

1. Eat regular wholesome meals.
2. Avoid smoking,  Alcohol and stimulants.
3. Engage in regular exercise.
4. Manage stress.
5. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and sufficient protein.

CARDIO VASCULAR SYSTEM

The Cardiovascular System has three main components. The HEART and BLOOD VESSEL and BLOOD itself. It carry blood Oxygen and Nutrients to organs and tissues of the body, carried waste and CO2 from tissue for removed from body.

BLOOD SUPPLY:

Inferior Vena cava --> Blood (CO2) comes from Stomach and Legs.
Superior Vena cava --> Blood (CO2) comes from Brain and Lungs.
Vagus Nerve --> (10th Nerve) Blood Supply Heart to Brain.
Sinoatrial Node ( SA Node) --> Conduction of the Heart.
Aorta --> Blood enter in to the brain through Aorta.

LOCATION AND STRUCTURE OF THE HEART :

The heart is a muscle about the size of a fist and is roughly cone shaped.

1. It is located in between the two lungs. Its lies left of the middle of the chest.
2. It is about 12cm long , 9cm across the broadest point and about 6cm thick.
3. Heart color is Gray.
4. Heart weight in Male 310grams and Female heart weigh is 250grams.
5. Heart Normal Pulse rate is 62 to 72 beats per minute.

LAYERS :

Heart have three layers and it protects heart.

1. Peri cardium -- Heart outer cover fluid (outer layer)
2. Myo cardium -- Outer muscle of the heart (middle layer)
3. Endo cardium -- Thin layer of tissue heart that lines the heart chambers (Inner layers)

STRUCTURE :

• Heart is composed of two sides and four chambers, Right and Left Atrium, Left and Right Ventrical
• Heart have valve on two sides, left side Bicuspid valve and right side Tricuspid valve.
• It is composed four pulmonary, Right and left pulmonary artery and Right and left pulmonary vein.

FUNCTIONS :

1. Stimulation of the Heart system - SA Node.
2. To carry CO2 and O2 Blood.
3. It is delivered oxygen and Nutrients to the body.
4. It is removal waste products from tissue.
5. Heart open sound is Lub and Heart close Sound is Dub.

CIRCULATION OF BLOOD :

First Stage --> Carry the CO2 Inferior and Superior vena cava to the right Atrium and Ventricle. In that time Tricuspid valve opened.

Second Stage --> Tricuspid valve closed. The Righ Ventrical is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs and CO2 blood converted O2 blood.

Third Stage --> After Purification, O2 blood enter in the heart by Pulmonary vein and filling the O2 blood on left Atrium. Bicuspid valve opened O2 blood enter into Left Ventricle.

Fourth Stage --> The bicuspid  closed. The Ventricle pumping the O2 blood to the left Ventricle. The cycle repeat itself thousand of times per day.

Function of the Heart is CONTRACTION and RELAXATION.

DISEASES :

Congenital Diseases --> Birth Diseases.
Acquired Diseases --> After Birth Diseases.

Blood Pressure ( 120/80 mm hg )
Hyper tension --> More than normal range.
Hypo tension --> Lower than normal range.

Pulse Rate ( Normal 62 to 72 )
Brady Cardia --> Lower than Normal (example 52 pulse rate)
Tachy  Cardia --> Higher than Normal (example 95 pulse rate)

Cardio Vascular Disease  --> It is leading causes of death in adult men and women coronary artery diseases.

Coronary Artery Diseases --> Also known on Ischemic Heart Diseases. It refers to problems with the circulation of blood to the heart muscles.

Cerebro Vascular Disease --> Disease if blood vessels that supply blood to the brain, such as stroke.

Peripheral Arterial Disease --> Disease of blood vessels that supply blood to arms and legs.

Hyper tensive Heart Disease --> Disease of the heart secondary to high blood pressure.

Myocardial Infarction --> Cell death of muscles.

Stenosis --> Narrowing of Tricuspid or Bicuspid or Arota.

Heart Attack --> Heart Shock - Completely stopping heart function.

Atrical Septum Diseases(ASD) & Ventrical Septum Diseases(VSD) --> It will change children lips and other body parts colour blue.

Rheumatic Heart Disease --> Heart muscles and valves damages due to Rheumatic fever caused by bacterial infection.

CONCLUSION :

You can help reduce your chance of acute myocardial infarction by eating foods low in LDL cholesterol and reducing  your fat intake. Exercise several times a week to improve your cardio vascular health. However speak with a doctor prior to going on any exercise plan. If you smoke, consider quitting. It can improve your heart health and lungs health as well.

· Reduce intake of LDL cholesterol foods.
· Exercise Regularly.
· Eat Healthy Foods.
· Take yellow colors fruits.
· Take green leafs Vegetables.
· Avoid junk foods.
· Avoid Four type of white enemies - Sugar/Milk/Salt/Egg.

Thank you for visiting my blog www.imranherbalist.blogspot.in, here you will get knowledge of Human Anatomy & Physiology,  Medicinal Herbal Plants and Dietary Management. 

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Anatomy and Physiology are biological sciences dealing with living organisms.

Anatomy – Anatomy is the study of body structures and the relation of one part to another. The term “anatomy” comes from the Greek word, anatomy meaning dissection.

The history of anatomy has been characterized, over time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body. Methods have also advanced dramatically, advancing from examination of animal through dissection of cadavers(dead human bodies) to technologically complex techniques developed in the 20th century.

SYSTEMATIC ANATOMY

The various systems of which the human body is composed are grouped under the following headings :

1.    Arthrology – study of articulations or joints.
2.    Histology – study of tissues.
3.    Myology – study of muscles.
4.    Angiology – study if vascular system, comprising the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and lymph glands.
5.    Neurology – study of nervous system.
6.    Splanchnology – study of visceral system
7.    Cytology – study of cells
8.    Cardiology – study of Heart
9.    Endocrinology – study of endocrine glands
10.    Otology – study of ear
11.    Odontology – study of teeth
12.    Ophthalmology – study of eyes and related structures
13.    Pulmonology – study of Lungs.

Physiology – Physiology is the study of the processes and functions of the body tissue and organs. Physiology is the study of how the body works and how the various parts function individually and in relation to each other. Ex., the work of the muscles, heart, brain, spinal cord etc.

The term “physiology” comes from two Greek words: Physis – nature and logos – word.

Physiology includes the study of various systems like:
1.    Central nervous system
2.    Circulatory  system
3.    Respiratory system
4.    Digestive system
5.    Excretory system
6.    Endocrine system
7.    Reproductive system etc..

HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal Medicine, also known as herbalism or botanical medicine, is a medical system based on the use of plants or plant extracts that may be eaten or applied to the skin. Since ancient times, herbal Medicine has been used by many different cultures throughout the world to treat illness and to assist bodily functions.

Herbal Systems – Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha.
