It is fitting to start with a hymn that tells of Godâs mercy to sinners. The words of the song were written by a Redemptorist priest named Edmund Vaughan who was born in 1827.
Amyloidosis that is localized to a specific body area from aging does not have systemic implications for the rest of the body. The protein that deposits in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease is a form of amyloid.myloid protein can be deposited in a localized area and may not be harmful or only affect a single tissue of the body impairing its function. This form of amyloidosis is called localized amyloidosis. Amyloidosis that affects many tissues throughout the body is referred to as systemic amyloidosis.
The healthy human brain contains tens of billions of neuronsâspecialized cells that process and transmit information via electrical and chemical signals. They send messages between different parts of the brain, and from the brain to the muscles and organs of the body. Alzheimerâs disease disrupts this communication among neurons, resulting in loss of function and cell death. Key Biological Processes in the Brain Most neurons have three basic parts: a cell body, multiple dendrites, and an axon. 1  The cell body contains the nucleus, which houses the genetic blueprint that directs and regulates the cellâs activities. 2  Dendrites are branch-like structures that extend from the cell body and collect information from other neurons.
