  HUMAN BRAIN   Brain is a organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating centre of the body. PARTS OF BRAIN Human brain is divided into three major parts on the basis of their functions and placement :-  1. Fore Brain  2. Mid Brain  3. Hind Brain  DIAGRAM OF HUMAN BRAIN 1. FORE BRAIN :-    It is the anterior part of the brain  It has three parts :-  Thalamus Limbic System Cerebrum THALAMUS :- it is located above the brain stem and between the cerebral and Mid-Brain. FUNCTION :- It carries sensory information from the body to cerebrum and the limbic system. HYPOTHALAMUS :- It lies under the thalamus. FUNCTION :- It connects the nervous system with the endocrine system via pituitary gland. LIMBIC SYSTEM :- It is arc shaped structure between thalamus and cerebrum. FUNCTION :- It controls responses like :- Hunger Fear Thirst Anger   Sexual responses etc. CEREBRUM :- It is divided into two halves called cerebral hemisphere. They communi

  Atrial Fibrillation  Atrial Flutter Atrial Fibrillation   (Afib) Afib stands for atrial Fibrillation (AF) Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia or abnormal heart beat and is a major cause of stroke.  Atrial Fibrillation is an irregularly irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that begins in heart upper chambers (Atria). in which the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat out of coordination with the lower chambers of the heart (ventricle). ATRIAL FIBRILLATION FINDINGS ON ECG Findings Irregularly irregular QRS Complex P wave absent / no visible P wave present Heart beat range (100bpm - 160bpm) Types of Atrial Fibrillation There are three main types of atrial fibrillation.... Paroxysmal atrial Fibrillation Persistent atrial fibrillation Long standing persistent atrial fibrillation Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation It's episodes occurs less than one week and usually stops on its own without treatment. Persistent Atrial Fibrillation It's episodes occurs more than one we
