Human body from organs to the cells of which they are composed. The human body consists of many interacting systems of organs. These interact to maintain homeostasis, keeping the body in a stable state with safe levels of substances such as sugar and oxygen in the blood. Each system contributes to homeostasis, of itself, other systems, and the entire body. Some combined systems are referred to by joint names. For example, the nervous system and the endocrine system operate together as the neuroendocrine system. The nervous system receives information from the body, and transmits this to the brain via nerve impulses and
Glial scar the spinal cord lesion and this decrease was associated with a reduction in glial scarring. Chondroitinase ABC has been shown to degrade glial scars. Degrading the glial scar with chondroitinase has been shown to promote recovery from spinal cord injury, especially when combined with other techniques such as nerve guidance conduits, schwann cell transplants, and peripheral nerve autografts. Glial scar Glial scar formation (gliosis) 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
