spine: Encyclopedia - Adho Mukha Svanasana

Adho Mukha Svanasana also called Downward Dog or Downward-Facing Dog is a popular Hatha Yoga posture or asana. Adho Mukha Svanasana - Description. Downward Dog begins by kneeling with the hands and knees on the floor, hands under the shoulders, fingers spread wide, knees under the hips, knees about seven inches apart, spine straight and relaxed. On a deep exhale, the hips are pushed toward the ceiling, the body forming an inverted V-shape. Legs are straight. ...

spine: Encyclopedia II - Pressure point - Martial arts applications

There are several types of pressure points, each of which is applied differently, and each one creates different effects. Some of the principles are discussed below: Pain: Some points are painful, because of the prevalence of nerves in the area. For example, being prodded in the throat is painful. The body has a pain withdrawal reflex, whereby it reacts to pain by moving away from it. Martial artists make use of this, sometimes without being aware of it. Applying pressure next to the collar bone, from above, will cause the pers ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Blood-brain barrier

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a membrane that controls the passage of substances from the blood into the central nervous system. It is a physical barrier between the blood vessels in the central nervous system, and most parts of the central nervous system itself, that stops many substances from traveling across it. Blood-brain barrier - History. The existence of such a barrier was first noticed in experiments by Paul Ehrlich in the late 19th century. Ehrlich was a bacteriologist who was studying s ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Axis anatomy

In anatomy, the second cervical vertebra (C2) of the spine is named the axis or epistropheus. It forms the pivot upon which the first cervical vertebra (the atlas), which carries the head, rotates. The most distinctive characteristic of this bone is the strong odontoid process which rises perpendicularly from the upper surface of the body. The body is deeper in front than behind, and prolonged downward anteriorly so as to ov ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Axon

An axon, or nerve fibre, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, which conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves. Individual axons are microscopic in diameter--typically about one micrometre across-- but may extend to macroscopic lengths. The longest axons in the human body, for example, are those of the sciatic nerve, which run from the base of the spine to the big toe of each foot. These single-cel ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Back injury

The human spine and associated muscles are particularly vulnerable to some types of injury, being both a highly flexible structure and subject to a great deal of stress as the main load-bearer of the torso. Preventing back injuries is a major workplace safety challenge. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than one million workers suffer back injuries each year, and back injuries account for one of every five workplace injuries or illnesses. Further, one-fourth of all compensation indemnity claims involve back injuries, costing industry billions of dollars on ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Bruiser Doom

The Bruiser is an enemy in the expansion pack for the 2004 computer game Doom 3, titled Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. It is one of six new enemies, along with the Vulgar, Forgotten One and the Hellhunters. Some speculate that Bruiser's name comes from the nickname of the two Barons from the first episode of the original Doom game, the "Bruiser Brothers". It might even have been used to replace that enemy. The Bruiser has a large muscular body in the vein of a Hell Knight and identical mechanical features of ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Atlas anatomy

In anatomy, the Atlas (C1) is the topmost (first) cervical vertebra of the spine. It is named for the Atlas of mythology, because it supports the globe of the head. The Atlas is the topmost vertebra, and – along with the Axis – forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. The Atlas and Axis are specialized to allow a greater range of motion than normal vertebrae. The Atlas' chief peculiarity is that it has no body, and this is due to the fact that the body of the atlas has fused with that of the next vertebra (the Axis). ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is the surgical discipline focused on treating those central and peripheral nervous system diseases amenable to mechanical intervention. Neurosurgery is widely viewed as one of the most prestigious fields in medicine. This is due to the extremely complex knowledge base required to master the field as well as the highly selective admission criteria for entry into neurosurgery residency programs. Finally, the minimal 6-7 year postgraduate training period required for neurosurgery is also among the longest and most ch ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Meditation

Meditation like yoga originated in Vedic Hinduism many centuries ago, it was much later adopted into a wide variety of practices of religious and non-religious formats which emphasize mental activity or quiesscence. The English word comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, but which later could perhaps be better translated as "contemplation." This usage is found in Christian spirituality, for example, when one "meditates" on the sufferings of Christ; as w ...

spine: Encyclopedia - Kidney

The kidneys are bean-shaped excretory organs in vertebrates. Part of the urinary system, the kidneys filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them, along with water, as urine. The medical field that studies the kidneys and diseases affecting the kidney is called nephrology, from the Greek name for the kidney; the adjective meaning "kidney-related" is renal, from the Latin.

spine: Encyclopedia - Extraterrestrial life

Extraterrestrial life is life that may exist and originate outside the planet Earth. Its existence is currently hypothetical: there is as yet no evidence of extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by scientists. Most scientists hold that if extraterrestial life exists, its evolution would have occurred independently in different places in the universe. An alternative hypothesis, held by a minority, is panspermia, which suggests that life in the universe could have stemmed from a single initial distribution of spores ...
