Nerve

This is my presentation of the effects drugs can have on the brain. Drugs are chemicals that tap into the brains communication system and tamper with the way nerve cells normally send, receive, and process information, when someone puts these drugs into their body. Different drugs because of their chemical structures work differently, and there are two ways drugs work in the brain, imitating the brains natural chemical messengers, and overstimulating the reward circuit of the brain. When a drug…

inside of it. Looking out for nerve damage Aside from understanding when should wisdom teeth be removed, it is also important to understand the complications that it can lead into aside from the common side effects of surgery. One such important complication that you should know is nerve damage, which often occurs during the extraction of lower wisdom teeth. Since wisdom teeth located at the lower jaw are in close proximity with your neurovascular bundle and the nerves of your tongue which…

in a group. School on the other hand was rather different; I always seemed to be nervous for any type of school presentation until I took my marketing class my sophomore year. At first, I looked forward to take a full year business class, but my nerves took over once I heard about all of the different types of presentations that were required throughout the year. Being one of the few sophomores in this senior dominated class was extremely intimidating to me since I was two years younger.…

explain are the nose, tongue, and ears and how they connect to the brain for our perception. As we inhale the scent of something, the molecules reach the receptor cells high in both nasal cavities. Then the axons from millions of these receptors carry nerve impulses directly to the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is the smell center of the brain. From there, records are taken and the olfactory bulb transmits these impulses to the temporal lobes of the brain where they become experienced as…

It is the basis for everything else. The ancient Greeks laid the ground work for this area of medical science. In 500 B.C. a man named Alemaeon was the first person to dissect human bodies for scientific studies. He wrote descriptions of the optic nerve in the eye and the Eustachian tube inside the ear.…

Therapeutic Cloning Imagine a day when the blind could see, with an optic nerve transplant, that day could be today using therapeutic cloning. Cloning for therapeutic purposes (also called research cloning and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a type of cloning with the goal of harvesting embryonic stem cells to grow tissues and other biological products with therapeutic value (Nicholson 2001). According to the article “How to Make a Stem Cell”, an embryo, by day five, contains…

voltage gated sodium channels of the excitable tissues like nerves and muscles. It prevents movement of sodium ions through these channels which affect action potential generation in nerves which is why Dr. Westwood experienced numbness after eating the puffer fish. Tetrodotoxin affects all excitable tissues, nerves and muscle, by binding to the sodium ion channels and preventing sodium to get into the cell. This will affect conductivity of nerve and prevent action potential from traveling down…

Every major nerve endings are located at the bottom of the feet. That is why foot spa or massage can truly be a relaxing experience due to the nerves that gets stimulated by the right strokes and preparations. It is not practical to afford spa treatments for your feet everyday, so what pragmatic methods can you do to keep your Foot…

On 3/26/18 I met Ms. Black at the office of Dr. Sardelli. She reports that her shoulder is still painful; she cannot fully extend her elbow or rotate from side to side. She reports pain to the inner aspect of the elbow. Her 4th and 5th fingers cannot open fully or close fully. There continues to be a pain in the inner elbow. She is still working with the hand therapist. Dr. Sardelli said that while she was in the hospital he did do a manipulation under sedation of the right shoulder. Today he…

mutated genes from parents. A gene called PHOX2B which gives instructions for making a protein that works in early development to format nerve cells . According to https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov when PHOX2B is mutated a anino acid is change in its protein which leads to the delation of chromosome 1 and chromosome 11 . Which throws off the early cycle of developing nerve cells . This mutation inside the gene will ultimately increase the risk of neuroblastoma and other symptoms…
