Muscular weakness, proprioceptive deficits, and range of motion deficits may challenge a persons ability to maintain their center of gravity (COG). Biol 105. Lecture Packet 10. Chapter 8 . Outline. Central Nervous System vs Peripheral Nervous System. Peripheral Nervous System. Autonomic Nervous Systems. Somatic Nervous Systems. Autonomic Nervous System. Background. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has promoted postural screening in schools since 1971. In 1980, regulation changes required all school systems to begin providing screenings in grades. Reflexes are natural physical responses a baby has that helps him or her to survive outside of the womb. Many reflexes which are present at birth will generally subside within a few months as the baby grows and matures. While some reflexes may be more prominent in certain babies, reflexes help pediatricians identify if a baby is growing and maturing as he or she should be. . A. Bacterial Infections of the Nervous System. 1. Bacterial Meningitis. A) Although bacteria can infect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, they more commonly infect the meninges and cerebrospinal fluids resulting in meningitis.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental impairment caused by a non-progressive lesion in a single or multiple locations in an immature brain. The lesion leads to persistent disorders of movements and posture that appear early in the infant's life (before 5 years). It is not a specific disease, but a group of neurological disorders of varied causes.. AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. Two major subdivision. Parasympathetic . cranio. -sacral outflow.
