NEUROLOGY

A STUDY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, ITS ANATOMY, FUNCTIONS , DIAGNOSES, MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT OF NERVE DISORDERS. 

OUR MISSION IS TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE & TREAT NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES WITH STATE OF THE ART MEDICAL TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS,  THERAPY, PIONEERING RESEARCH & INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIONS WITH VARIOUS SPECIALIST; TO INSURE THE BEST RESULTS IN HEALING.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAVE SEEN A NEUROLOGIST?

MED CARE CONSULTANTS ARE COMMITTED TO PROMPT HEALING CARE. OUR PUNCTILIOUS & ASTUTE PHYSICIANS ARE VASTLY DIVERSE IN THE BEHAVIOR / FUNCTIONS OF THE NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM. THIS KEEN EXPERIENCE ALLOWS FOR TIMELY & ACCURATE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, REHABILITATION & THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES. OUR TEAM IS DEDICATED TO ANALYZING NEW DATA & EXCITING NEW RESEARCH TO DISSOLVE DISEASE, CELEBRATING THE FRESH THOUGHT OF VIBRANT HEALTH. WE TAKE A DEEP INTEREST IN THE SUCCESS OF YOUR HEALING , SO YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE RELIEF OF RELAXATION. IT IS A FINE ART TO ALLOW WELLNESS TO PERMEATE CONSCIOUSNESS AND BODY; AND THAT IS THE PASSION BEHIND OUR JOB. 

LET GO

&

ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE AT PEACE

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

THE EXACT SENSATIONS YOU FEEL, REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR TREATMENT. SINCE THE NERVOUS SYSTEM COMMUNICATES BY VARIATIONS IN INTENSITY OF THE FREQUENCY OF A SIGNAL, THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE HOW YOU ARE FEELING, POINTS US TO THE BEST SOLUTION   

TELL US ABOUT ALL YOUR MEDICAL ISSUES.

WEATHER IT IS A SYMPTOM, OR THE CAUSE; A MEDICAL HISTORY IS HELPFUL IN MANAGING NEUROLOGICAL HEALTH. WHAT MIGHT SEEM UNRELATED, MAY HAVE A DIRECT CORRELATION. SO FEEL FREE TO LET US KNOW: WERE YOU EVER CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT, DID YOU TAKE ANY OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS? WHAT IS YOUR DIET LIKE? DO YOU TAKE ANY PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS? ANY RECENT INFECTIONS THAT YOU KNOW OF? WHEN WAS YOUR LAST LAB WORK DONE?

LET'S TURN THESE QUESTIONS INTO RELIEF.

THE WAY TO THE SOLUTION

THE NEURON WORLD

​

HOUSE OF GANGLION

 Ganglia PLURAL FOR GANGLION

THE MASS OF GRAY MATTER WITHIN THE BRAIN OR SPINAL CORD, HOUSING

THE CELL BODIES OF AFFERENT NEURONS & EFFERENT NEURONS LIVING IN CLUSTERS FORMING AN ENARGMENT ON ONE OR MORE NERVES AT THE POINT OF JUNCTION OR SEPARATION.

  

AFFERENT NEURONS ARE CELLS WITH RECEPTORS THAT RECOGNIZE TRANSFERRING INFORMATION (FOR EXAMPLE : LIGHT, HEAT, SOUND, SMELL, TOUCH, TASTE ) THAT TRANSPORT IMPULSES TOWARDS THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BRAIN.

 

​

BIPOLAR NEURONS ARE A TYPE OF SENSORY NEURON WITH TWO EXTENSIONS THEY TRANSMIT INFORMATION TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE BRAIN.  THEY ARE FOUND IN THE RETINA, THE GANGLIA OF THE VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR (NERVE IN THE ROOF OF NASAL CAVITY) INNER EAR OTHER WISE KNOWN AS THE EIGHTH CRANIAL NERVE

​

  • ONE END ACTS AS AN AXON, TRANSFERRING IMPULSES TO ANOTHER CELL,  WHILE THE OTHER ACTS AS A THE DENDRITE WHICH RECEIVES IMPULSES AND TRANSMITS THEM TO THE BODY OF THE CELL. BOTH ENDS CAN HAVE MULTIPLE SMALLER BRANCHES 

  • TRANSMITS INFORMATION ABOUT  ONE'S  EQUILIBRIUM 

  • BIPOLAR NEURONS MAKE UP THE MIDDLE LAYER OF THE RETINA 

​

PSUEDOUNIPOLOR,  INTERNEURONS , OR BIPOLOR NEURONS ARE EXAMPLES OF THE DIFFRENT TYPES OF NEURON, BUT THERE IS MORE! NOW YOU CAN MEET THEIR LITTLE FRIENDS: LIKE THE ANAXONIC NEURONS: 

ANAXONIC
MULTIPOLAR 
PSEUDOUNIPOLAR 
UNIPOLOR
TERMINAL BOUTONS
TERMINAL BOUTONS
axon

TERMINAL BOUTONS

axon ? dendrite ? yes !
cell body
cell body
myelin sheath
myelin sheath
dendrite
TERMINAL BOUTONS
HAVING MORE THAN TWO PROCESSES, IN THIS CASE THE AXONS AND DENDRITES CAN NOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM ONE ANOTHER
HAVING MORE THAN TWO PROCESSES; WITH ONE AXON AND MULTIPLE DENDRITES
PSUEDOUNIPOLOR NEURONS HAVE ONE PROCESS WITH ONE END ACTING AS A DANDRITE AND ONE AXON,
UNIPOLAR NEURONS HAVE A MYELIN SHEETH COVERING THEIR ONE PROCESS WITH ONE SENSORY CELL AND ONE CELL BODY ON AXON
TERMINAL BOUTONS (END FEET!) 
ARE LITTLE PACKAGES WHERE contact HAPPENS BETWEEN ONE NEURON & ANOTHER'S CELL BODY.  AT THE POINT OF THEIR JUNCTION NEURAL IMPULSES ARE TRANSMITTED THROUGH CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS 

FIELD TRIP!

LET'S GO ! !

EFFERENT NEURONS MAKE UP A NERVE CELL THAT ALLOWS IMPULSES TO MOVE FROM THE BRAIN OR FROM THE SPINAL CORD TOWARDS THE GANGLION OR TO THE MUSCLES AND CAUSES MOVEMENT. GET TO KNOW THE MOTONEURONS !

​

PYRAMIDAL  (upper motor neurons, type of Multipolar neurons).  PYRAMIDAL CELLS ARE GENETICALLY DIVERSE, MEANING THERE ARE VARIOUS DISTINCT SUB-TYPES AND FUNCTIONS.

 

Somatic and Autonomic Motor Neurons

Somatic:

  • voluntary effectors (striated muscles).

  • single motor neuron with a single myelinated axon extending from central nervous system  or the spinal cord to desired organ. 

  • Neurotransmitters are stimulatory or inhibitory

  • ACh ( acetylcholine ) aids in excitatory and inhibitory functions, which means that ACh may be used to accelerate the speed of the nerve signals that are sparked at the synapse.

  • No firing at rest

  • effector at rest has a soft dull tone.

​

​

​

​

​

Autonomic:

  • involuntary effectors.

  • smooth & cardiac muscles & glands.

  • usually 2 neurons with synapse (ganglion) from the spinal cord to desired organ.

  • Neurotransmiters only stimulatory.

  • Norepinephrine NE : Neurons of the Lucus Ceruleus house Noreprinephrine, which disperses to the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord. The postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system use the transmitter NE.  NE IS PRODUCED WHEN DOPAMINE β- HYDROXYLASE INTRODUCES A HYDROXYL GROUP ( one oxygen atom bonded to one hydrogen atom, make up a hydroxyl group. ) INTO THE CARBIN CHAIN OF DOPMINE . NE and ACh are released at synapses.

  • Baseline firing and accelerates when stimulated.

  • effector at rest has a natural tone. 

​

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the functions of our internal organs such as the heart, stomach, lungs, and liver; it also controls some of the muscles within the body. The ANS is part of the peripheral nervous system.

LUCUS CERULEUS is a  Bluish nucleus in the pons ( The message area that connects the thalamus & medulla oblongata ) of the brainstem involved with physiological responses to stress & panic.
