Wie 👁️👁️ und 👂im 🧠 miteinander interagieren

As it is common experience, our senses do not work in complete isolation from the others: sight helps listening (and this is maybe why it is difficult to understand people when they speak with their mask on) but can also influence taste. Scientists have long been studying how the brain builds its re...

🖼️👉👈🧠 Kunst trifft auf Neuroanatomie!

In 1990, physician Frank Meshberger published a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association deciphering Michelangelo’s imagery with the stunning recognition that the depiction in 'God Creating Adam' in the central panel on the ceiling was a perfect anatomical illustration of the human brain in cross section.

At the age of 17 he began dissecting corpses from the church graveyard. Between the years 1508 and 1512 he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Michelangelo Buonarroti— known by his first name the world over as the singular artistic genius, sculptor and architect—was also an anatomist, a secret he concealed by destroying almost all of his anatomical sketches and notes.

Zwei Kopf-Hirn-Präparate aus dem Museum Vrolik in Amsterdam

Two specimens showing the human brain from Vrolik museum

This established at the end of the 18th C. medical collection of pathological specimens, anomalous embryos, odd skulls and bones is used until today by the Faculty of Medicine students of the University of Amsterdam. Called after the name of its originators, 18th and 19th century anatomy professors from Amsterdam, Museum Vrolik is today one of the few museums of its kind in the world.

Foto von Nikola Tesla und einer Röntgenaufnahme von seinem Fuß 🦶 - die machte er mit einer Maschine, die er 1896 selbst designed hatte!

I have colorized another photo of Tesla: Nikola Tesla made an X-Ray of his foot with a machine he designed in 1896
This Man actually Designed the 20th and 21st century with his inventions still he died alone & poor.
He invented and improved AC Current, Tesla Coil, X-Ray, Remote Control, Teleforce, Violet Ray, Induction Motor, Tesla Turbine, Wireless Telegraphy, World Wireless System but he never got enough credit for those.
All he wanted is to make Earth a better Place to live in.

Tolles Bild einer (Discus intervertebralis)!

Bandscheiben⚠️⚠️

Unter normalen Bedingungen nehmen die Bandscheiben ein Fünftel der Höhe der Wirbelsäule ein.

Anatomisch gesehen bestehen die Bandscheiben aus einem zentralen Teil, dem Nucleus Pulposus, einer gelatineartigen Substanz, die aus dem embryonalen Rückenmark stammt.

88% des Kerns bestehen aus Wasser und die restlichen 12% aus Mucopolysacchariden wie Chondroitinsulfat, einigen Proteinen und Hyaluronsäure.

Sein peripherer Teil ist der Faserring, eine Schicht konzentrischer Fasern, die vertikal an seinem Umfang angeordnet sind und im innersten Teil des Rings eine schräge Anordnung annehmen.

Die Wirbelkörper artikulieren miteinander durch die Symphyse, die durch die Bandscheibe und die knorpeligen Endplatten gebildet wird, die sich im oberen und unteren Teil jeder Bandscheibe befinden, wodurch eine "Sandwich" -Morphologie konfiguriert wird.

Es ist wichtig zu bedenken, dass diese Symphysen auf zervikaler, thorakaler und lumbaler Ebene leicht an den vorderen und hinteren Längsbändern verankert sind, was dem Gelenk eine größere Stabilität verleiht.

Je nach Höhe variiert die Form der Bandscheiben und ist in ihrem vorderen Bereich in der Hals- und Lendenwirbelsäule breiter, während sie auf Brusthöhe gleichmäßiger sind.

Andererseits sind sie im Lendenbereich größer, weil sie die gesamte Gravitations- und mechanische Achse des Körpers tragen müssen.

Diese Gelenke geben der Wirbelsäule Stabilität, absorbieren den nach unten gerichteten Aufprall des Drucks, der in der vertikalen Position des menschlichen Körpers erzeugt wird, und ermöglichen aufgrund seiner flexiblen Komponente Bewegungen wie Beugung, Streckung und Rotation.

Schwere Fall einer 🦴🩻

This is what the spine afected by scoliosis looks like.

Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side.

Although it is a complex three-dimensional deformity, on an X-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with scoliosis can resemble an "S" or a "C", rather than a straight line.

The deformity may begin in the intervertebral discs, producing distortions in the epiphyseal cartilage which may influence the end of growth and therefore the deformity of the vertebrae, resulting in wedging and rotation of the vertebrae.

People having reached skeletal maturity are less likely to have a worsening case. Some severe cases of scoliosis can lead to diminishing lung capacity, putting pressure on the heart, and restricting physical activities.

An estimated 65% of scoliosis cases are idiopathic (cause unknown, sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult, according to when onset occurred), about 15% are congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth) and about 10% are secondary to a neuromuscular disease (e.g., spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, or physical trauma) or syndromes such as Chiari malformation.

Fall einer , bei der infolge einer morbiden (starkes Übergewicht) das 🫀die Größe des 🧠 annahm.

Cardiomegaly related to a case of morbid obesity, the size of the heart is almost the same as that of the brain.

An enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) may have various causes. But it's usually the result of high blood pressure (hypertension) or coronary artery disease. An enlarged heart may not pump blood effectively, resulting in congestive heart failure. Cardiomegaly may improve over time. But most people with an enlarged heart need lifelong treatment with medications.

The heart enlarges in response to damage to the heart muscle. Up to a point, enlargement permits the heart to continue to pump blood normally. As enlargement progresses, though, the heart's pumping ability declines.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is the main type of cardiomegaly. In dilated cardiomyopathy, the walls of both the left and right side of the heart (ventricles) become thin and stretched. The result is an enlarged heart.

In the other types of enlarged heart, the heart's muscular left ventricle becomes abnormally thick. High blood pressure usually causes left ventricular enlargement (hypertrophy), while hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited condition.

Generally speaking, the heart's pumping ability is better preserved when the enlarged heart is "thick" rather than "thin."

Most often, an enlarged heart causes no symptoms. If an enlarged heart becomes unable to pump blood effectively, symptoms of congestive heart failure can develop:

-Shortness of breath (especially with exertion or when lying flat)
-Leg swelling
-Increased abdominal girth
-Weight gain
-Fatigue
-Palpitations or skipped heartbeats

Symptoms vary widely in people with an enlarged heart. Some may never have symptoms. Others may have mild symptoms that remain unchanged for years. And some may experience steadily worsening shortness of breath.
