- - - - time and rehab
    - - permanent injury
  - - - Clinicians attempt to prevent further damage
      - injury immobilized
      - respiration is aided
      - low blood pressure and cardiac problems treated
      - Steroids given to reduce damage caused by inflammation and cell death
      - injury permanently stabilized using surgical techniques
    - - clinicians try to treat or prevent long term problems
      - respiratory difficulties
      - Blood pressure abnormalities
      - pneumonia
      - blood clots
      - organ dysfunction
      - pressure sores
      - pain
      - bladder and bowel dysfunction
- - - - Symptoms
        
        can vary
        
        muscle weakness
        
        decreased reflexes
        
        numbness
        
        tingling
        
        paralyisis
        
        pain
        
        difficulty controlling blood pressure
        
        abnormal sweating
        
        digestive abnormalities
      - Causes
        
        diabetes
        
        kidney
        
        hormonal imbalance
        
        alcoholism
        
        vascular damage
        
        repetitive stress
        
        chronic inflammation
        
        toxins
        
        tumors
- - - - dorsal column tract
        
        carries fine-touch and vibration info to cerebral cortex
      - spinthalamic tract
        
        carries temp, pain and crude touch info to the cerebral cortex
      - spinocerebellar tract
        
        carries info about posture and position to cerebellum
  - - - corticospinal tract
        
        carries orders from brain to motor neurons in ventral horn of spinal cord
      - Corticobulbar tract
        
        carries orders from brain to motor neurons in brain stem
      - reticulospinal and rubrospinal tract
        
        carries info which helps coordinate movement from brain to brainstem and ventral horn of spinal cord
- - - - falls
      - car accidents
- - - - not easy
      - based on history and symptoms and presence of other conditions that can cause neuropathy
    - - underlying cause is treated
      - symptoms managed with meds and therapy
- - - - surface not smooth
      - broken by ridges and grooves
        
        convolutions
    - - posterior to cerebrum
- - - - responsible for impulses that control heart beat, respirations and blood vessel diameter
      - reflex center for coughing, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting
    - - superior to medulla oblongataand plays a role in breathing
    - - most superior portion of brain stem and completely covered by cerebrum
