  • Nervous System: Function, Problems and Solution

    Nervous System: Function, Problems and Solution

    The nervous system is concerned with the integration and control of all body functions.

    In my previous page regarding Systems of the Human Body, I promised you, to provide detailed information on all major systems. Certainly, this page is to keep my promise.

    The human body is a complex nerve-muscle machine. It is more intricate and works more efficiently than any machine invented by men till now. All functions, including moment, both voluntary or involuntary, and secretion, are under the control of a complicated “telephone” system (the nervous system), complete with exchange, transmitting and receiving lines. These are connected to a complex supercomputer, the brain.

    Sub-divisions of the nervous system

    Although for descriptive purposes, the nervous system may be subdivided into two parts. It functions as a coordinated whole.

     The nervous system has two major parts

    a) Central Nervous System(CNS):

    Central Nervous System

    The brain and spinal cord are the main organs of the Central Nervous system. Moreover, it is the control centre of the nervous system, responsible for receiving and processing information from the senses, generating thoughts and emotions, and controlling movement and other bodily functions.

    The CNS is a complex and fascinating system essential for human life. Moreover, it is responsible for everything we think, feel, and do.

    i) Brain

    The brain is the largest and most complex organ in the human body. Further, it is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right brain, connected by a bundle of nerves called the corpus callosum.

    Functions of brain

    The brain is responsible for a wide range of functions, including:

    • Thought and consciousness: The brain is responsible for our ability to think, reason, and be aware of ourselves and our surroundings.
    • Sensory processing: The brain receives information from the senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. It processes this information and creates a perception of the world around us.
    • Movement: The brain controls our ability to move our muscles. It sends signals to the spinal cord, which then sends signals to the muscles to contract or relax.
    • Emotions: The brain is responsible for our ability to feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and fear.
    • Language: The brain is responsible for our ability to understand and produce language.

    The brain is that part of the CNS which lies within the cavity of the skull. It consists of the following parts;

    • 1 The cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum)
    • 2 The mid-brain
    • 3 The Pons
    • 4 The medulla oblongata
    • 5 The cerebellum
    Brain

    The brain and the spinal cord are protected by bone (skull and vertebral column) and also by three coverings that are called meninges. These meninges are the dura mater(outer layer), arachnoid mater(middle layer) and pia mater(inner layer).

    Between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater is a sub-arachnoid space that contains a fluid. This fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) and has several important functions. The dura mater is a tough fibrous membrane that lines the skull. It also encloses the spinal cord in a membranous tube within the neural canal.

    ii) The Spinal Cord

    The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. It is situated within the vertebral column. Moreover, in the adult, it is 43 cm long and ends at the level of the first lumbar vertebrae. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves originate from the first cord and correspond to the segments of the vertebral column.

    Functions of the spinal cord

    The spinal cord has two functions. Since it consists mainly of nerve fibres its most important role is to transmit the information to the brain from the periphery or vice-versa.

    In addition, the spinal cord provides an important defence mechanism that enables emergency action. This action is taken without direct references to the brain. That is why it is called spinal reflex.

    b) Peripheral Nervous System(PNS):

    The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a vast network of nerves that connects the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body. It is responsible for carrying information between the brain and spinal cord and the muscles, organs, and sensory receptors throughout the body.

    The PNS is essential for the body to function properly. It allows us to move our bodies, feel the world around us, and maintain our internal environment.

    Below are some of the details of PNS.

    • The PNS consists of nerves, which are bundles of nerve fibres.
    • Nerves are classified as either sensory nerves, motor nerves, or mixed nerves.
    • Sensory nerves carry information from the sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.
    • Motor nerves carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles.
    • Mixed nerves carry both sensory and motor information.
    • The PNS also contains ganglia, which are clusters of nerve cells that are found outside of the brain and spinal cord.

    Nerve branches are in the entire body from the spinal cord to all body parts. The function of the nerves is called a Peripheral Nervous System. It includes

    • Peripheral nerves
    • Cranial nerves
    • Spinal nerves
    • Neuromuscular junctions.

    Major components of the nervous system

    There is no function of the body, which is not connected to the nervous system.

    1 Neuron

    The neuron is the basic unit of the nervous system. They receive sensory input, send motor commands to muscles, and relay electrical signals.

    The structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the Neuron i.e. nerve cell.

    A single unit of neurons has a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm.

    Dendrites of the neuron(the receptors of nerve impulses) are branches in structure.

    One of the dendrites is elongated and is called AXON which imparts the nerve impulses to the dendron of the other neuron cell.

    Neuron: unit of Nervous System

    A collection of these many neurons forms the nervous tissue unit, which again unites to form a nerve. 

    The substance which is released from the nerve endings is called neurotransmitters.

    These neurons have a protection layer called MYELIN SHEATH. Fatty Acids and proteins are required for the synthesis of this myelin sheath.

    2 Autonomic nervous system

    This system is responsible for involuntary functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and digestion. It is divided into two branches: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

    • The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the “fight-or-flight” response, which is a physiological reaction to stress. It increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, and it diverts blood flow away from the digestive system and towards the muscles.
    • The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the “rest-and-digest” response. It decreases heart rate and blood pressure, and it slows respiration and digestion.

    3 Somatic nervous system

    This is responsible for voluntary movement. It carries information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, telling them to contract or relax. The somatic nervous system is also responsible for the sensation, such as touch, pain, temperature, and pressure.

    The voluntary component of the peripheral nervous system. It allows us to feel the sensation from the skin and perform voluntary body movements.

    Reasons for problems 

    The main source of energy for the brain and nervous system is glucose. That is obtained from carbohydrates.

    When there lack of nutrition, start impaired functioning of the nervous system and neuromuscular structures resulting in

    • Mental confusion
    • Diminished brain functioning
    • Sensory loss
    • Loss of muscular coordination
    • Muscular apathy etc

    Diseases caused by the lack of nutrition are

    • Parkinson’s disease affects movement, often including tremors.
    • Alzheimer’s disease affects brain function, memory and behaviour.
    • Bell’s palsy is a sudden weakness or paralysis of facial muscles, mainly on one side.
    • Epilepsy is a neurological disorder when the brain activities are abnormally causing seizures or periods of unusual activities

    Primarily Neuritises are because of metabolic derangement and are mainly confined to carbohydrate metabolism. But, metabolism being a complex chemical process, disturbance in one factor leads to disturbances of the other factors.
    Carbohydrates, Protein and fats are not utilized by the body as such. Moreover, Carbohydrate is hydrolyzed into glucose. Proteins into Amino AcidsFats into fatty acids.

    Metabolism is the conversion, hydrolyzation and finally utilization of energy, synthesis of amino acids, fatty acids and their utilization for tissue building and tissue repairs.

    For these chemical intermediary changes, certain enzymes and co-enzymes are essential.

    A Body normally produces enzymes and coenzymes. And food helps to produce co-enzymes. Moreover, the lack of these co-enzymes deranges those metabolic processes resulting in the problem of the nervous system.

    Sometimes, because of poison, drug toxicity and certain other factors lead to the depletion of these co-enzymes also resulting above changes.

    How to avoid nervous system problems.

    • Exercise daily which increases blood flow and natural painkillers called endorphins produced by the central nervous system give relief from stress and pain
    • Take a balanced diet including vitamins B1, B6, B12, proteins, soya bean  provides the best protein, vitamins & minerals
    • Take green leafy vegetables enriched in vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E and magnesium essential  for the nervous system  
    • Take plenty of water
    • Do enough rest/sleep
    • Check up diabetes, and blood pressure which may cause neuro disorders
    • Don’t use tobacco products, quit smoking 
    • Consult your Doctor 

    SUM UP

    Enjoy a healthy life by enjoying life. Don’t be shy about laughing loudly, it’s the best medicine. Enjoy music, dance and sex (it’s also an exercise)

  • Uttarkashi Tunnel Rescue Operation Succeeded

    Uttarkashi Tunnel Rescue Operation Succeeded

    Uttarkashi Tunnel collapsed on the 12th of November and 41 workers were been trapped. A rescue operation has been going on for the last 17 days. Yesterday night at around 9 pm the Uttarkashi tunnel rescue operation succeeded. 41 workers came out of the Silkyara Tunnel after breaking the chest of rocks.

    All 41 workers trapped in the tunnel on the 17th day have been rescued safely from the Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand.

    On the 12th of November at around 5:00 in the morning, due to a landslide, a part of the under-construction Silkyara-Dandalgaon tunnel located on Yamunotri National Highway suddenly collapsed. Due to this 41 workers from 8 states got trapped inside the tunnel.

    The pipeline was the lifeline in the Uttarkashi Tunnel

    To save all these workers, different teams were engaged in relief and rescue work. A 1.45-inch pipe installed to drain water from the tunnel proved to be a lifeline. After the accident, oxygen, water and some light food items were sent to the workers through this pipe. Necessary medicines were also given to them through this pipe.

    On the 10th day after the accident, a six-inch pipe was successfully delivered to the workers, after which they started being given hot food. Also, a camera was sent inside through this pipe and the inside view was seen for the first time.

    The “Mahabharata” of life going on in the Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, ended after 16 days. On the 17th day, all the 41 workers trapped in the tunnel were taken out safely.

    Let us tell you that among the 41 workers trapped in the tunnel, a maximum of 15 workers are from Jharkhand, 8 from Uttar Pradesh, 5 from Odisha, 5 from Bihar, 3 from West Bengal, 2 from Uttarakhand, 2 from Assam and 1 from Himachal Pradesh.

    Human claws overwhelm the American Auger machine

    In the operation to safely rescue 41 workers trapped in the tunnel under construction in Silkyara, Uttarkashi, the American auger machine also gasped in front of the obstacles that came up within a few hours. In such a situation, the team of Rat Miners showed its magic.

    Ultimately, human claws overpowered the auger machine and their strength. Operation Silkyara came to success on the 17th day. The teams engaged in the rescue operation for 17 days had started working on all options to save the lives of the workers. Digging a minor tunnel from Barkot, vertical, but where the auger machine was stuck, this option was the closest option to reach the workers. The stuck pieces of the garter were taken out one by one from the auger machine. Also, on the advice of experts, it was decided to take the help of rat miners from Jhansi, who have expertise in manual digging inside the tunnel. As the team of Rat Miners reached Ground Zero from Jhansi,  as they moved ahead, a glow started appearing on the faces of the members of the expedition. Ultimately, where the machine had lost, human claws succeeded.

    Workers Expressed joy and happiness

    When the rat miners reached inside the trapped area, workers were filled with joy. They hugged rat miners team members. Rat Miners’ team members told this after opening the way for the safe exit of the workers trapped in the under-construction Silkyara tunnel. They were giving the message of the success of the operation by giving a thumbs-up sign.

    The glow of the success of the campaign was visible on their faces. When the American auger machine failed during the rescue operation, a team of rat miners was called from Jhansi and deployed on the front.

    Working continuously for hours day and night, 12 team members opened the way to reach the workers who had been waiting inside the tunnel for the last 17 days to get out safely. Moreover, the team member continued digging for 26 hours. The workers were happy to see the rat miners team inside the tunnel. They hugged each other. Now everyone is safe.

    Success

    The campaign gained momentum due to the activeness of PMO

    PMO played a big role in the campaign to save the lives of workers. Not only did the Prime Minister keep a constant watch, but the messengers of his office also kept the campaign going by camping at the site continuously.

    As soon as the information about the accident reached the Prime Minister’s Office through the control room of the Home Ministry, Dr PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to the PM, informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about this. Since then, PMO officials continuously monitored the incident. Mishra regularly informed the PM about the rescue operation.

    Dr. Mishra directed PMO Deputy Secretary Mangesh Ghildiyal to go to the incident site and get information about the situation. Former advisor to the Prime Minister Bhaskar Khulbe was also requested to monitor the rescue operation at the site.

    On the insistence of PMO, apart from mobilizing civil engineering and tunneling-related equipment and experts from RVNL, ONGC, SJVNL, THDC, DRDO etc., innovative technology-based solutions like robots, drones, endoscopic cameras etc. were being mobilized from DST, DRDO. Many private startups and companies also worked to rescue the workers.

    All concerned ministries and organizations such as the Army, Air Force, BRO, NDRF, NDMA, Government of Uttarakhand, District Administration and many private units were also contacted.

    A meeting of all the agencies working at the incident site was held at the PMO on November 20 under the chairmanship of Dr Mishra. In the meeting, heads of all agencies were directed to monitor the rescue operations on an hourly basis.

    On 27 November, Dr Mishra reached the spot along with the Home Secretary. Deputy Secretary Mangesh Ghildiyal remained in Uttarkashi till the successful completion of the rescue operation on 28 November.

    Successful completion of the rescue operation

    PM Modi post on success of Uttarkashi tunnel operation

    Late Tuesday evening, the 17th day of the accident were rescued. After receiving first aid, they were sent to the hospital by ambulance for treatment.

    An emergency hospital was built inside the tunnel in Silkyara, Uttarakhand, and an air ambulance was also deployed. First of all, the workers were given first aid in a temporary hospital built near the tunnel. A team of doctors and nurses has been deployed to look after the workers. After taking the workers out of the tunnel, they will be taken directly to the hospital. Oxygen cylinders have also been sent inside the tunnel.

    All these workers have been taken directly to the hospital for first aid and treatment of mental stress. And all were been found healthy and fit. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was present at the spot. On the other hand, the Prime Minister’s Office was keeping a close watch on this matter. PM Modi also talked to the workers on the phone after doctors declared them fit.

    After success, there was a beautiful smile on the faces of everyone involved in this campaign including scientists, families of the workers and administrative officials. Nationwide a wave of happiness was spread.

    Lesson from Uttarkashi Tunnel collapse

    Now Silkyara Tunnel Accident will become a case study for the country and NIDM will prepare a complete chapter. NIDM will prepare a complete chapter on what precautions we should take in tunnel construction in future. And how to remove the shortcomings. NIDM aims to discuss pre-prepared modules with agencies and departments involved in tunnel construction.

For your information Delhi airport operates around 1,500 flights daily. Here are some specific examples of how AI will be used to improve Delhi airport operations.

    Passenger flow management

    AI can be used to analyze passenger data to predict foot traffic patterns and identify potential bottlenecks. This information can then be used to optimize staffing levels, signage, and queue management systems to reduce congestion and improve passenger flow.

    Virtual queuing

    AI-powered virtual queuing systems can allow passengers to reserve their place in line for security checkpoints, baggage check-in, and other airport services. This can help to reduce waiting times and improve the overall passenger experience.

    Biometric boarding

    AI can power biometric boarding systems that use facial recognition or other biometric identifiers to verify passenger identities and authorize boarding. Certainly, this can help to speed up the boarding process and reduce the need for manual checks.

    AI bag scanning

    AI-powered screening systems can automatically analyze X-ray images of baggage to identify potential threats, such as weapons or explosives. This can help to improve security and reduce the need for manual inspections.

    Predictive maintenance

    AI can be used to analyze data from airport infrastructure, such as baggage handling systems and aircraft maintenance records, to predict when equipment is likely to fail. This information can then be used to schedule preventive maintenance, which can help to reduce downtime and improve the overall reliability of airport operations.

    Safety and Security

    AI can be used to monitor and analyze data from security cameras, sensors, and other sources to identify potential security threats. Altogether, this information will be used to alert security personnel and take appropriate action.

    Customer service

    Passengers can receive flight information, answers to questions, and issue resolution from AI chatbots and virtual assistants. Additionally, it will improve the customer service experience and reduce the burden on human representatives.

    Sum Up

    Overall, AI has the potential to make a significant positive impact on the way airports are managed. Moreover, AI will enhance efficiency, security, and passenger experience at Delhi Airport.

  • An AI model earnings will blow your mind.

    An AI model earnings will blow your mind.

    Barcelona’s beautiful pink-haired AI model Aitana Lopez has millions of fans. Everyone thinks that she is real. Her earnings will blow your mind. She is earning an average of Rs 3 lakh every month.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the biggest technological revolution of the current era. While there are possibilities in this, there are also no less apprehensions. The biggest fear is regarding employment. However, this apprehension is not groundless either. Now look at Barcelona’s beautiful pink-haired model Aitana Lopez. It earns an average of Rs 3 lakh every month. Actually, Aitana is an AI model, which has been molded for a 25-year-old enthusiastic woman. Ruben Cruz, who designed this model, says, it looks so real that people believe it to be true.

    The team decides on the programs of the AI model

    Members of Cruz’s agency meet every week to discuss what to do with Aitana. In this, his entire week’s schedule is decided. For example, what will she do, which places will she visit and which photos will be shared? However, there is no photoshoot for this, rather only pictures made through AI and design are shared.

    The idea came when Cruz was in difficult times.

    Ideas

    Last year, Cruz was going through difficult times. After this, he created an AI model, which he named Aitana. This virtual model became so popular that advertisements worth lakhs started being received. It charges one lakh rupees per ad. Recently she also became the big face of a sports supplement company. Its popularity can be gauged from the fact that within a few months, it got more than 1 lakh 20 thousand followers on Instagram and also shares her photos on Fanvue, a platform similar to OnlyFans.

    The future of AI-generated models seems promising, as agencies continue to explore their potential in the influencer world.

  • Free Visa for Indians in Malaysia.

    Free Visa for Indians in Malaysia.

    A Free visa for Indians in Malaysia has been announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Malaysia has made such a decision focusing on economic growth.

    Malaysia is now following the path of Sri Lanka and Thailand for economic growth. The Malaysian Prime Minister has also said to give a free visa for Indians for 30 days. However, Malaysia has also opened this system to Chinese citizens, which will be implemented from December 1.

    Let us tell you that Malaysia is the third Asian country to give a free visa to Indians. Currently in Malaysia, citizens of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Turkey, and Jordan get this facility.

    It is noteworthy that a statement by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has made it clear that this free visa exemption will be subject to security clearance. He also said that people with criminal records and risk of violence will not get the benefit of this exemption. The Prime Minister said that the country’s Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail will soon share more information related to visa exemption.

    Let us tell you that earlier China had announced a 15-day visa-free policy for Malaysian citizens. The Prime Minister of Malaysia thanked the Chinese government and said that next year both countries will celebrate 50 years of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations.

    According to statistics, the number of Indians travelling abroad increased from 1.4 to 2.7 crore in the last nine years. However, the tourism sector remained significantly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the relaxation of lockdown restrictions, passenger traffic in the tourist sector has started increasing again.
