Brain

... and right (Butler, 2000). The brains of craniates develop from the anterior section of a single dorsal nerve cord , which later becomes the spinal cord . In craniates, the brain is protected by the bones of the skull . Vertebrates are characterized by increasing complexity in the cerebral ...

Cartilage

... which causes chest pain Herniated disk : Asymmetrical compression of a disk ruptures the cartilage ring, causing tissue to herniate into the spinal canal . The matrix of cartilage acts as a barrier, preventing the entry of lymphocytes or diffusion of immunoglobins . This property allows for ...

Human

... aged 60 or over for every 100 women, and among the oldest, there are 53 men for every 100 women. Because humans are bipedal, the pelvic region and spinal column tend to get worn, creating locomotion difficulties in old age. Humans are also more likely than other primates to suffer from obesity ...

Nervous system
