2. Today's Discussion Outline Introduction Two Main Divisions of Nervous System Functions of Nervous System Causes and Risk Factors Symptoms of Nervous System Disorder Diagnosing Nervous System Disorders Treatment for Nervous System Disorders Prevention from Nervous System Disorders Conclusion

3. Introduction 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 epidemiological 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. Contd..

4. Two Main Divisions of Nervous System PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM It comprises of the spinal cord and the brain. It comprises of all other neural elements, including the autonomic nerves and the peripheral nerves. The nervous system's main organs include: sensory organs of smell and taste sensory receptors located in the joints, muscles, skin, etc.

5. Functions of Nervous System The thinking ability and reason and the nervous system makes 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.

6. Causes and Risk Factors The nervous system is susceptible to numerous disorders including blood flow, disruption, tumors, structural defects, degeneration, infections and trauma. Degeneration, such as Alzheimer disease, Huntington chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease. Functional disorders, such as neuralgia, dizziness, epilepsy and headache. Contd..

7. Vascular disorders, such as extradural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack and stroke Structural disorders, such asGuillain-Barré syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord or brain tumors, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Infections, such as epidural abscess, polio, encephalitis and meningitis.

8. Symptoms of Nervous System Disorder 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 language impairment, slurred speech and muscle wasting, back pain which radiates to the toes, tremors and seizures, lack of coordination, impaired mental ability, etc.

9. Diagnosing Nervous System Disorders 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 resonanceimaging (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.

10. Treatment for 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

11. Prevention from Nervous System Disorders To keep your body and nervous system healthy, follow the Guidelines below: 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.

12. Conclusion Disorders of the nervous system which trigger the highest death and disability levels can be treatable and preventable. Increased awareness of neurological disorders' global effects should help healthcare planners. The neurological community set adequate research, prevention and management priorities for these conditions.
