A common type of leukemia that is slow growing and affects developing B cells that form antibodies, rendering them un-functional (O'Brien & Gribben 2008, pp.1-2).
The defining factors of this leukemia is its ability to be asymptomatic for a long duration of time and to be commonly found amongst aged populations and not noticed in its early stages (Malek 2013, p.2). This cancer is found in the bone marrow produces in excess lymphocytes which can be best described as a white blood cells or B cells, this cell population have an aggressive characterisation that lead to cancer (Moussay et al. 2011).

Diffuse Axonal Injury
The tearing and shearing of axons and small vessels widespread in the white matter of the cerebral, a traumatic brain trauma of sheering forces within vessels (Park et al. 2009).
The components of this injury is the acceleration or declaration of the skull followed by head injury, this event results in contributing factors to differential pressure gradients within the brain (Richardson 2013, p.49). These shearing forces are primary mechanisms of brain and vessel lesions, these visually invisible lesions are slow developing and found in the brains white matter tracts over a large proportion (Grujicic et al. 2012, …show more content…

It is formed and consists of elastic and collagen fibres as well as connective tissue that produce a matrix of connective tissue cells forming the fascia (Schleip et al. 2012, p.165).

Haematopoiesis
A complex action where haematopoiesis stem cells (HSC) can replicate to form a group, to reconstitute lymphoid and myeloid stem cells to produce cellular elements of blood in bone marrow (Munjal 2015,
