Above gluteus maximus you can see parts of gluteus medius iii. Look for cutaneous nerves supplying this region. b. Below gluteus maximus expose the fascia lata of the posterior thigh but leave it in place. 2. Reflect gluteus maximus: a.

It will encompass a one-to-one teaching session with a diabetic patient. The aim of the teaching plan is to provide insulin dependent diabetics with the skills and knowledge to independently control their diabetes through self-administration of sub-cutaneous insulin. Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterised by disturbances of carbohydrates‚ fat

The integumentary system has the three epithelial membranes which are cutaneous‚ serous and mucous‚ which directly support the organs. a. Cutaneous membranes-this is the skin b. Serous membranes-lines body cavities. c. Mucous membranes-lines body surfaces VI. The other body systems are affected because if the membranes are not efficient the other

Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The protozoan have nucleus‚ kinetoplast and flagella. Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease spread by the bite of infected sand flies. There are several different forms of leishmaniasis. The most common are cutaneous and visceral. The cutaneous type causes skin sores. The visceral type affects internal organs such as the spleen‚ liver‚ and bone marrow. People with this form usually have fever‚ weight loss‚ and an enlarged spleen and liver.Leishmaniasis is found in parts of

several types of porphyria‚ which are distinguished by their genetic cause and their signs and symptoms. Some types of porphyria‚ called cutaneous porphyrias‚ primarily affect the skin. Areas of skin exposed to the sun become fragile and blistered‚ which can lead to infection‚ scarring‚ changes in skin coloring (pigmentation)‚ and increased hair growth. Cutaneous porphyrias include congenital erythropoietic porphyria‚ erythropoietic protoporphyria‚ hepatoerythropoietic porphyria‚ and porphyria cutanea

Test 01 - Introduction Receptor cells use chemical transmitters to communicate with relay cells or afferent nerve fibers. In all sensory systems‚ accessory structures modify‚ in some way‚ the stimulus going to the receptor surface. Receptors are electrically polarized cells and therefore have a resting membrane potential. Stimuli produce‚ in the appropriate receptors‚ a change in the electrical properties that is known as the receptor or generator potential. The two ways in which sensory stimuli

Blue Rubber Syndrome is a rare condition initially discovered by Gascoyen in 1860. In 1985 William Bennett Bean made the disease more popular for which the disease was termed Bean Syndrome. Later referenced Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome‚ this disease causes patients blood vessels to develop improperly in an area of the skin or visceral organs‚ particularly the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The malformed blood vessels form blood clots and appear on the skin as deep blue‚ soft‚ and rubbery blebs
