  2. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant_peripheral_nerve...

    A malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is rare, but is one of the most common frequent soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric population. About half of these cases also happen to occur along with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), which is a genetic mutation on the 17th chromosome which causes tumors along the nervous system.

    When a solid object impacts a human soft tissue, the energy of the impact will be absorbed by the tissues to reduce the effect of the impact or the pain level; subjects with more soft tissue thickness tended to absorb the impacts with less aversion.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system_tumor

    A nervous system tumor is a tumor that arises within the nervous system, either the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS). [1] [2] Nervous system primary tumors include various types of brain tumor and spinal tumors, such as gliomas, and meningiomas (of the CNS), and schwannomas (of the PNS) and can be either benign or malignant.

    A nervous system neoplasm is a tumor that arises within the nervous system, either the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS). [1] [2]. Nervous system neoplasms include various types of brain and spinal cord tumors, such as gliomas, and meningiomas (of the CNS), and schwannomas (of the PNS) and can be either benign ...

    The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum , the brainstem and the cerebellum . The brain controls most of the activities of the body , processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system .

    A nerve sheath tumor is a type of tumor of the nervous system (nervous system neoplasm) which is made up primarily of the myelin surrounding nerves. Nerve sheath tumors can be benign or malignant , and may affect both the peripheral and central nervous systems .

    A glial scar formation is a reactive cellular process involving astrogliosis that occurs after injury to the central nervous system.As with scarring in other organs and tissues, the glial scar is the body's mechanism to protect and begin the healing process in the nervous system.

  9. Nervous tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_tissue

    Nervous tissue, also called neural tissue, is the main tissue component of the nervous system.The nervous system regulates and controls body functions and activity. It consists of two parts: the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprising the branching peripheral nerves.
