Brain or the Heart — which is the most crucial organ of the body?
If it were possible to speak to the brain and the heart, asking which organ was most important in the human body, what would they say?? The heart felt the most important because, without the heart beating, the body wouldn’t receive the blood needed to keep the cells alive. However, the brain is claimed to be the most critical organ because, without the brain, the heart would not know when to beat or how fast to beat to send the blood containing oxygen and essential nutrients throughout the circulatory system to keep the cells alive.
How the Brain Works – The brain is a complex organ that sends and receives chemical and electrical signals throughout the body, controlling almost every function of the human body to enable:
• Thoughts and decisions, actions, and reactions, including fight or flight response
• Motor function: movement with balance and coordination
• Regulates organ function: breathing, heart rate, hormones, and body temperature
• Speech and emotion: language and feelings
• Sensory information from the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch
• Contains nerves: facial and head
• Receives input, including pain and vibration
• Connects the brain stem to the spinal cord through the Central Nervous System (CNS), which can communicate with the rest of the body and send information back to the brain.
Gray and White Matter in the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS)
Two substances in the brain make up the central nervous system: gray matter and white matter. The gray matter is in the darker outmost layer and controls the day-to-day function by interpreting and processing information. The white matter is more profound in the brain and contains the nerve fibers that help the brain send electrical signals quickly and efficiently. The white matter connects brain cells and travels from the brainstem to the spinal cord, communicating with the nervous system.
The brain communicates messages throughout your body. Some messages are kept in the brain, while others move to the body’s extremities via the CNS, where the signals are processed, and the information from the body can travel back to the brain. The brain contains two types of cells: neurons (nerve cells) that send and receive electric nerve signals and glial cells to help maintain the brain, form a fatty protective substance in the white matter, and provide nutrition. Scientists have found that to do this, the brain has about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons), and the spinal cord has about 13.5 million neurons that process electrical signals.
The average adult’s brain weighs about 3 pounds and is about 60% fat with the rest comprised of water, protein, carbohydrates, and salts. The brain continues to develop throughout your 20s and reaches its peak by middle age.
Everyone has two parts of the nervous system: The Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System.
The Central Nervous System (CNS)
The central nervous system is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord are “central” to the body’s primary communication system, responsible for receiving, processing, and responding to voluntary movements like walking and involuntary movements like breathing. It consists of a network of nerve cells called neurons.
The spinal cord is a long, flexible tube that sits inside the bony channel formed by the spine. It provides the link between the brain and the network of nerves that extend to the rest of the body. The spinal cord has 31 pairs of nerves attached to it.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
The peripheral nervous system involves all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord that carry messages to the CNS. The PNS contains nerves that run throughout the body, stretching down to the tips of your toes. Three types of nerves are based on their functions:
Sensory: these nerves carry information from the brain to the spinal cord to the five senses.
Motor: these nerves take commands from the brain to various body parts, such as muscle movement.
Autonomic: These nerves help organs such as the heart and various body systems function by moving information back and forth to the brain.
Finding and Treating the Source of Pain
The central nervous system and peripheral nervous system work together to help the body feel the source of pain and determine how the body reacts. The nervous system activates the signal, and pain is felt. Finding the physical root cause of the pain or site of the body’s injury resulting in acute, chronic, or (long-term) intractable pain can be a very complex medical process. Treating the pain can also be very difficult.
Since ancient times, bioelectricity and electrotherapy used targeted electrical energy waves to stimulate nerve cells and disrupt the signal of pain through the central nervous system to the brain. Because our bodies are electrically charged, electric therapeutic energy waves work in accordance with our body’s natural circuitry, which communicates with the brain and nervous system. Today’s RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® device uses advanced and highly innovative Electric cell-signaling Technology (EcST) to effectively deliver targeted electric and electromagnetic energy waves deep into the affected nerve area of the body, helping to facilitate the recovery processes. These therapeutic pulsed energy waves delivered into the body speak the language of cells used to manage all acute, chronic, and intractable pain successfully. The RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® is a safe, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and effective treatment to help manage pain, increase circulation, and improve muscular rehabilitation.
Electric cell-signaling Treatment using the RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® will produce more significant patient outcomes, giving your patient restored hope for a better, healthier life. You are the heart and soul of their recovery process.
