The structures of the spinal cord and blood vessels, rear projection, are made up of various layers but are continuous. However, it is usually ignored when the tissue where the tension is observable is in an unbalanced condition, as in the case when a scar is present, the cells cannot properly interpret the message, giving consequent anomalous responses.
