Back Of The Head Optic Nerve
1,395 wordsToday, there are many forms of imaging available to the medical profession. Among the more well-known types include x-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, PETscans, and the most groundbreaking, the MRI. One lesser known form of imaging is the technique of evoked potentials. The evoked potential uses stimulation of the body to force activity in the brain. Using electrodes, a clinician can take signals directly from the brain without any intrusive methods. The electrodes remain on the surface of the skin ...

A person who is completely deaf would exhibit flat-line responses. The BAEP can also detect lesions in the auditory cortex or any place in the auditory pathway. These abnormalities could also be attributed to tumors or acoustic neuromas, which are non-cancerous growths on the vestibulocochlear nerve in the brain. The BAEP is es...

Central Nervous System Divided Into Three
1,940 wordsThe Brain Covering All Parts- INTRODUCTION The human body is divided into many different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain, which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2. 75 pounds, and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells, and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the other parts of the body. The messages travel in very fine threads called nerves. The nerves and the brain mak...
