Cranial nerves

permanent damage. The following report will discuss a clinical case of a patient involved in a car accident. The accident caused a severe crush injury to his legs, leading to the potential of the aforementioned conditions. Furthermore, the patient's cranial nerve examination will be analysed to evaluate the level of head trauma sustained in the accident.…

The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that mainly transports information from the body organs to the central nervous system. DeGiorgio et al. [60] showed in their doulbe-blind study on 195 patients that a stimulation of the vagus nerve can reduce the number of convulsions by more than 50% in 35% of the patients. The median reduction of the convulsions was 45%, and in 20% of…

Clinical Condition and Description of Clinical Presentation (Marchevsky and Richardson 1999): A Rottweiler, 8 years of age, reported with ataxia in the hindlimbs, in addition to patellar hyperreflexia together with deficits in proprioception and posture. Neck pain was also presented. Although some mild ataxia was reportedly seen in the forelimbs, proprioception and reflexes were normal. This was enough evidence to suggest a cervical spinal cord lesion. Radiographs obtained under sedation,…

The head and neck are part of the body that is very important integrating several systems. A lot of vital activities like eating, drinking, seeing, hearing and breathing are done through the head structures. When the nurse assess those the head and the neck it is s assessing several systems at the same time. The eyes are located in the orbital cavities of the skull is an important part of the head and its function is essential to perform different activities. The ears are one of the structures…

Botulinum toxins act at four different sites in the body: The neuromuscular junction, autonomic ganglia, postganglionic parasympathetic nerve endings and postganglionic sympathetic nerve endings that release acetylcholine (Nigam, 2010). Botulinum toxin influences weakness of striated muscles by inhibiting transmission of alpha motor neurones at the neuromuscular junction(Nigam, 2010). When most people think of…

molecules floating that is register as odor with our noses. Through our breathing or sniffing, we take in these odor molecules. The particle go through our nose and trapped by the mucous lining of our nasal passages. Within the mucous lining, there are nerve cells and it will sense the odor. Those lining will give out signal and sent it to our brain to interpreted and reconigzed as a smell. 2. Jawless fish have a very few number of odor genes while mammals have a much larger number. Why does…

Yufan Li Instructor Maria Pagliari Expository Writing Section JO 13 September 2017 When love becomes a scientific concept Far too often, people regard love as longing, a kind of desire for more; a strong eagerness from others. As Barbara said in words, “Longing. You know the feeling. It’s that ache of sensing that something vital is missing from your life; a deep thirst for more. More meaning, more connection, more energy--more something”(FREDRICKSON 106).The similarity between love and longing…

3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…

The system is what makes up our body, it's the foremost sophisticated of the various systems within the body, and it's conjointly a network of nerve cells and fibres that transmits nerve impulses between components of the body. This essay will explore the structure and functions of the system similarly as well as looking in depth at the neurons and how they communicate The system is split into two components, the central nervous system- which incorporates the brain and also the spinal cord. The…

system(PNS) consists of all cranial, and spinal nerves in the body. The nervous system and especially the brain, are the most complex organs in humans. The brain allows cognitive thought, control of skeletal muscles, and it controls a myriad of other involuntary actions inside the body (from making the heart beat, regulating internal heat/ph/sugar levels, to digestion, sleeping, and many more functions required for life). The spinal cord, and all the body’s nerves transmit: sensory…
