olivary body

Examples of olivary body in the following topics:

• Hypoglossal (XII) Nerve

  • The hypoglossal nerve emerges from the medulla oblongata in the preolivary sulcus where it separates the olive (olivary body) and the pyramid (medullary pyramid).

• Medulla Oblongata

  • This causes a syndrome called medial medullary syndrome, a type of alternating hemiplegia characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis on one side of the body.
  • The region between the anterolateral and posterolateral sulcus in the upper part of the medulla is marked by a swelling known as the olivary body, caused by a large mass of gray matter known as the inferior olivary nucleus.

• Functions of the Cerebellum

  • A module consists of a small cluster of neurons in the inferior olivary nucleus, a set of long narrow strips of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex (microzones), and a small cluster of neurons in one of the deep cerebellar nuclei.

• Functions of the Cerebellum in Integrating Movements

  • A module (a multizonal microcompartment in the terminology of Apps and Garwicz) consists of a small cluster of neurons in the inferior olivary nucleus, a set of long narrow strips of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex (microzones), and a small cluster of neurons in one of the deep cerebellar nuclei.

• Water Content in the Body

  • In physiology, body water is the water content of the human body.
  • It makes up a significant percentage of total body composition.
  • The water in the body is distributed among various fluid compartments that are interspersed in the various cavities of the body through different tissue types.
  • Body water is regulated largely by the renal and neuro-endocrine systems.
  • There are many clinical methods to determine body water.

• Body Plans

  • Animal body plans can have varying degrees of symmetry and can be described as asymmetrical, bilateral, or radial.
  • Animal body plans follow set patterns related to symmetry.
  • In order to describe structures in the body of an animal it is necessary to have a system for describing the position of parts of the body in relation to other parts .
  • Animals exhibit different types of body symmetry.
  • The table illustrates common directional terms that are used to describe the position of body parts in relation to other body parts.

• Planck's Quantum Hypothesis and Black Body Radiation

  • A black body emits radiation called black body radiation.
  • A black body in thermal equilibrium (i.e. at a constant temperature) emits electromagnetic radiation called black body radiation.
  • This equation explains the black body spectra shown below.
  • The radiation has a specific spectrum and intensity that depends only on the temperature of the body.
  • Typical spectrum from a black body at different temperatures (shown in blue, green and red curves).

• Body-Oriented Psychotherapies

  • Body-oriented psychotherapies focus on the importance of working with the body in the treatment of mental health issues.
  • Body-oriented therapies, also referred to as body psychotherapies, are based on the principles of somatic psychology, which involves the study of the body, somatic experience, and the embodied self, including therapeutic and holistic approaches to the body.
  • A wide variety of techniques are used in body-oriented therapies, including sound, touch, mirroring, movement, and breath.
  • Body-oriented therapies are based on the principles of somatic psychology, which was founded by Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s.
  • Reich's work significantly influenced the development of body psychotherapy; several types of body-oriented psychotherapies trace their origins back to Reich, though there have been many subsequent developments and additional influences.
