Bursitis and tendinitis are both common conditions that cause swelling around muscles and bones. They occur most often in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving body parts such as muscles, tendons, or skin.
In higher vertebrates, such as reptiles, birds and mammals, there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Lower vertebrates, such as fish and amphibians, have 10 pairs of cranial nerves. Continue Reading.
They share many similarities with peripheral nerves that emerge from the spinal cord. Most cranial nerves exit the central nervous system (CNS) at the level of the brainstem (Fig. 14-1). Two cranial nerves (i.e., the olfactory [I] and optic [II]) enter the CNS at the level of the forebrain.Only one cranial nerve, the accessory nerve (cranial nerve [CN] XI), does not emerge from the brain.4-1).
