Nervous System Disorders in Humans

The nervous system is an organ system of living things consisting of millions of nerve fibers
composed of nerve cells that are interconnected and essential for sensory perception of the senses,
involuntary organs or tissues, voluntary motor activity, and homeostasis of various physiological
processes of the body in living things . The nervous system is composed of the most complex and
most important tissue because it consists of millions of nerve cells (neurons) that are connected and
vital to the development of language, mind and memory in living things, especially humans.

Although the neural network is protected by a hard skull and bone, the Human Nervous System
Disorders can still occur. The disorder is very diverse, depending on the type of cause. In general,
however, the cause of the disorder of the nervous system can be due to a clash (trauma) of hard
objects, chemical exposure, viral or bacterial toxication and inflammation caused by nerve cell
regeneration itself. The nervous system disorders in humans that often occur are as follows:

Stroke: Brain damage due to rupture / blockage of blood vessels in the brain, so the nerves are not
enough oxygen consequently nerve cells die and the patient has problems with pronunciation,
movement, memory.
Hydrocephalus: Magnification of the head due to the accumulation of actively fluid brain in the
brain chamber
Neuritis: Inflammation of the peripheral nerves due to blows, pressure, fractures, vitamin B
deficiency
Alzheimer's: Disease loses the ability to care for oneself
Epilepsy: A disease that attacks the motor neurons and sensors repeatedly resulting in repetitive
muscle contractions unnoticed
Concussion: A disease caused by a collision. Minor clashes cause dizziness and vomiting while
heavy collisions cause vomiting and fainting
Meningitis: Inflammation Acute meningitis by bacteria
Syphilis: Bacterial infection of the brain that can cause loss of thinking power, memory, speech
impairment and paralysis
Amnesia: The patient's memory condition is disrupted due to damage to the brain due to impact,
an illness, inner shock and trauma

After knowing some of the above Nervous System Abnormalities, prudence to maintain the nervous
system should be improved. Because health is certainly very important for life can still run normally.

Summary:

The Human Nervous System consists of millions of interconnected cells,

Disorders of the nervous system can lead to symptoms of serious illness in human vital organs,
Careful attitude can prevent the risk of nervous system disorders.

Abnormalities in the Human Nervous System :

1. Stroke (Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or Cerebral apoplexy), is a brain damage due to blockage
or rupture of blood vessels of the brain.
2. Poliomyelitis, a disease caused by a viral infection that attacks motor neurons of the nervous
system (brain and spinal cord). The agent of this disease, a virus called poliovirus (PV).

3. Migraine, is a throbbing headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting that occurs due to
hyperactivity of brain electrical impulses that increase blood flow in the brain and result in the
expansion of blood vessels of the brain and inflammatory processes (inflammation).

4. Parkinson's, a disease caused by decreased dopamine neurotranslator on the basis of ganglion

with tremorous hand symptoms at rest (but the shaking is lost during sleep), difficulty moving,
muscle stiffness, rigid facial muscles give the impression as if masked, blinking eyes and step Feet
become small and stiff.

5. Transection, damage or whole segments of the spinal cord. For example because of a fall, a shot
that is accompanied by the destruction of the spine.

6. Neurasthonia, (weak nerve), this disease exists because the innate birth, too heavy the sufferer,
the spiritual is too weak or due to poisoning disease.

7.Neuritis, nerve inflammation that occurs due to physical influences such as fractures, blow
pressure, and can also be due to toxicity or vitamin B1, B6, B12 deficiency.

8. Amnesia, namely the inability of a person to remember or recognize events that occurred in a
period in the past. Usually this disorder is due to inner shock or brain injury.

9. Cutter, a disorder in which the sufferer always injures himself at the time of depression, stress, or
confusion.

10. Alzheimer, or senile, not a contagious disease, but is a kind of syndrome with apoptosis of brain
cells at about the same time, so the brain seems to shrivel and shrink. Alzheimer's is also said to be a
synonymous disease with parents.

11. Bell's palsy is the name of a disease that attacks the facial nerve causing muscle paralysis on one
side of the face. Nerve dysfunction occurs VII (fascial nerve). Unlike the stroke, paralysis on the side
of the face is characterized by difficulty moving some facial muscles, such as the eyes can not close,
can not blow, and so on. Some experts claim the cause of Bell's Palsy in the form of herpes virus that
makes the nerves become swollen due to infection.

12. Dyslexia (English: dyslexia) is a condition of learning disability in a person caused by difficulty in
that person in performing reading and writing activities. The researchers found this dysfunction is
caused by conditions of unstable brain biochemistry and also in some cases due to inherited
parentage. Developmental dyslexia is suffered throughout the life of the patient and is usually
genetic.

13. Ayan or Epilepsi, a disease due to the release of electrical eruptions (impulses) in brain neurons.
Epilepsy is a chronic disease that causes sudden onslaught unreasonably. In people with epilepsy,
Signals related to feelings of vision, thinking, and moving can not function properly.
14. Paralysis or paralysis is the loss of muscle function for one or many muscles. Paralysis can cause
loss of feelings or loss of mobility in the affected area. Paralysis is often caused by damage to the
brain.

15. Leukoaraiosis (English: leukoencephalopathy, White matter changes, WMC) is a change in the
basal ganglia of the cerebellum. WMC may be caused by hypoperfusion or ischemia in the brain,
particularly in the sub-cortical area of the basal ganglia.

16. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

(PML), is a rare and fatal disease caused by viruses. The disease is characterized as progressive
damage or inflammation of the cerebral white mass at two sites. This disease usually appears in
people with less immune system, for example HIV-infected patients.

17. Brain paralysis (UK: cerebral palsy, spastic paralysis, spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic
quadriplegia, CP) is a condition of disruption of brain function and neural networks that control
movement, learning rate, hearing, sight, thinking ability.

18. Meningitis is inflammation of the central nervous system protective lining (meninges). This
disease can be caused by microorganisms, physical injuries, cancer, or certain drugs.

19. Huntington's disease, Hunting chorea or chore mairo is a disease that attacks the nerves. The
disease is caused by genetic factors, so it can be inherited from parents to their children.

20. Minamata disease or Minamata Syndrome is a syndrome of nerve function disorder caused by
acute mercury poisoning.

21. Multiple sclerosis, an inflammatory disorder occurring in the brain and spinal cord caused by
many factors, especially focal lymphocytic infiltration (T cells are constantly migrating to the site and
carrying out attacks as is feasible in every infection) and resulting On myelin and axon damage.

22. Kleine-Levin syndrome (English: Kleine-Levin Syndrome abbreviated as SEA) is a rare neurological
disease in which the patient can not control his drowsiness. Patients can fall asleep for hours, days,
weeks, even months, depending on how long the illness appears / relapse.

23. Rabies is an acute infection of the central nervous system caused by rabies virus. This disease is
zoonotic, which can be transmitted from animal to human.

24. Inflammation of the brain (English: encephalitis) is an acute inflammation of the brain caused by
a viral infection. Sometimes encephalitis can be caused by a bacterial infection, such as meningitis,
or complications from other diseases such as rabies (caused by a virus) or syphilis (caused by
bacteria).

25. Adie syndrome or Holmes-Adie syndrome is the syndrome caused by damage to the
postganglionic fibers of the system

Glioma: in glia or neuroglia cells, tissues that surround and support neurons or brain nerve
cells. Gliomas are the most common, covering 50% of primary brain tumors.
 Astrocytoma: in astrocytic astrocytic neuroglia cells.

Ependymoma: in the ependyma or epithelial membrane lining the ventricles of the brain and
spinal canal.
Brain-brain glioma: in the part of the brain that contains the medulla oblongata, the pons
varolii, and the midbrain, the part of the brain that connects the spinal cord to the brain.
Medulloblastoma: in the cerebellum and spread rapidly to surrounding tissues, especially in
the cerebrospinal fluid and brainstem. Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant
tumor in children.
Meningioma: in the meninges or membranes of the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas are
usually benign, slow growing so often late detected.
Neurinoma: usually occurs in the posterior fossa. The eighth cranial nerves, which convey
the sense of hearing and balance are most often affected. Neurinomas do not form
metastases.
Lymphoma: in lymphocytes (cells responsible for body defense). This is a malignant tumor,
derived from lymphoid tissue. These tumors are common in patients with AIDS and
immunosuppressed patients.
Pituitary adenoma: the pituitary gland and the base of the brain. This is a benign type of
brain tumor.

28. Optic neuritis, inflammation of the optic nerve. The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve
fibers that transmit visual information from the eye to the brain. Pain and temporary loss of
vision are common symptoms of optic neuritis.

29. Hydrocephalus (head of water) is a disease that occurs due to disruption of fluid flow in
the brain (cerebro spinal fluid) or accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebral
ventricle, subarachnoid space, or subdural space. The disorder causes the fluid to multiply
which will further suppress the surrounding brain tissue, especially vital nerve centers.
