Brain and Protective Equipment

The central anatomical part of the nervous system, protected by the skull. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating information.

Frontal lobe, Parietal lobe, Temporal lobe, Occipital lobe

Responsible for basic life functions such as breathing and heart rate regulation.

Responsible for coordination and balance.

Connects the right and left brain hemispheres, aiding communication between them.

Runs through the vertebral foramen of the spine, providing neural pathways for the entire body.

Tissues covering the brain and spinal cord, consisting of the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.

Located within the neck, providing innervation to structures mainly between the head and shoulders.

Exits the spinal cord from the neck base, extending towards the armpit, providing sensory and muscular innervation to arm muscles.

Structures between vertebrae allowing spinal column flexibility and acting as shock absorbers during activities like walking, running, and jumping.

Protective equipment in sports to prevent injuries like concussions, spread impacts, and absorb forces through firm shells and energy-absorbing liners.

Methods to adjust helmet fit include chin straps, inflation systems, and custom air bladder helmets.

Tight fit, comfortable, allows unrestricted breathing, does not impede speech during competition. Best when retained on the upper jaw and projects backward only as far as the last molar. Composed of a flexible, resilient material.

Absorbs shock and helps to prevent concussion

May give some protection against axial compression. Also known as neck roll, cowboy collar, or butterfly restrictor. Made from materials like foam and plastic.
