Plexus Worldwide is a company that produces many all natural products to help balance; weight, sugar levels, blood pressure, energy, and increases wealth. The United States as a whole is considered overweight and malnourished. Statistics stated on (www.cdc.gov), show that 78 million adults and 12.5 million children are considered obese. Plexus Worldwide was founded in 2006, with the headquarters located in Scottsdale, Arizona.…
Anatomy review for the nervous system - Week 12 Study Guide 1. Distinguish the difference between neuron, neuroglial cells, Schwann cells, neurofibrils, and astrocytes. Neuron: masses of nerve cells in nervous tissue Neuroglial Cells: provide neurons physiological requirements (fill spaces, give support to neurons) Schwann Cells: larger axons of peripheral neurons enclosed in sheaths Neurofibrils: thin, long fibrils that run through body of neuron and extends to axon and dendrites; gives neuron shape and support Astrocytes: cells found between neurons; provide structural support 2. What is the difference between dendrites and axons?…
Efferent sympathetic signals originating from the POAH travel by way of the ipsilateral brainstem through the tegmentum of the pons & the medullary raphe nuclei, which terminate on the preganglionic neurons in the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord (Smith & Johnson, 2016). The efferent signal departs from the ventral horn & passes into the sympathetic trunk via the white ramus communicans (Smith & Johnson, 2016). Efferent signals terminate & act post-synaptically on several effectors, which includes endothelial cells found within cutaneous blood vessels & subcutaneous…
Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most well-known nerve entrapment syndromes. This occurs when the medial nerve is pressed at the wrist. As a result, this causes a tingling sensation and weakness in the wrist and hand. Patients who have CTS are probably suffering from Occupational Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This is due to a combination of factors, increased pressure on the median nerve and tendons rather than the actual nerve itself.…
1. Oculomotor nerve (III) : The nuclear complex of the 3rd (oculomotor) nerve is situated in the midbrain at the level of the superior colliculus, ventral to the Sylvian aqueduct .It is composed of thefollowing paired and unpaired subnuclei. • Levator subnucleus is an unpaired caudal midline structure which innervates both levator muscles.…
The Facial Nerve (CN VII) has five major branches: temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, and cervical (Marieb & Hoehn, 2010). This nerve originates at the pons, enters the temporal bone “via the internal acoustic meatus, and runs within bone (and through inner ear cavity) before emerging through stylomastoid foramen; the nerve then courses to the lateral aspect of the face” (Marieb & Hoehn, 2010, p.…
Parasympathetic nerves exit through the brain stem and the sacrum. Gently touching these…
There are several best practices have embarked the processing of new medical practices and turn out to be the best. For example Delphi Technique, Implementation science, clinical nursing, Cognitive Theories, and Several other practices which try to keep best implementation of health care professionals. As a real life example need to be considered when a superior hypogastric plexus block is a type of injection that is used to control pelvic pain that does not respond to oral medications. This block can also be indicated if the side effects for a pain relieving medication are unacceptable to the patient. Since the superior hypogastric plexus contains efferent sympathetic fibers to and afferent pain fibers from the bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina,…
Sensory receptors and neurons along with motor neurons are components of the Peripheral Nervous System which follows the commands of the Central Nervous System. The bones of the skull and spinal vertebrae house all of the Central Nervous System neurons. Neurons in the Peripheral Nervous System are not surrounded by bone; they travel through or lie on top of muscle, organ and skin tissue. In the Central Nervous…
The internal structure is made from two matters. Within the grey matter, Dorsal, ventral, and lateral horns provide nerve impulses from to skeletal muscle, incoming sensory neuron to regulation of the smooth muscles. Between the spinal nerve and the vertebra is a fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF is cushion for the CNS. These very delicate structure that can easily be…
It can spread information with the help of neurons, who pass information from one neuron to the next. There are two different pathways in the nervous system the afferent and efferent nerves. The afferent nerves pass information from the brain and spinal cord, while the efferent nerves have to do with the muscles in our body. It also contains two divisions called the central or peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains only the brain and the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system connects both the brain and the spinal cord to other parts of the body.…
1. There are 3 types of neurons. Motor, sensory, and Interneurons. The main parts of the neuron are dendrites, the soma, the axon, the axon terminal, the synapse, and the myelin sheath. The dendrites are branch like bushy extensions that receive the information and conduct impulses towards the cell body.…
1. The peripheral nervous system, which is divided into the sensory and motor divisions, is involved in physical sensation. Sensory impulses move though the body by being stimulated by a receptor in the skin. It then travels to the sensory neurons and through the afferent fibers, were it will end up at the spinal cord as well as the brain.…
Introduction Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the nervous system. It is primarily an inflammatory disorder of the brain and spinal cord. People diagnosed with MS may have a variety of symptoms that can include: weakness, tremors, tingling, numbness, loss of balance, vision impairment, paralysis, impaired thinking, neuropathic pain, and bladder or bowel problems. Patients may also experience memory loss and depression. There is no current cure for MS, but there are promising interventions to assist those diagnosed lead a healthier, more productive life.…
Next there is the axon. The axon carries information to other neurons, muscles, and glands. This part of…
