The Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Skin Abstract The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel located in the central and peripheral nervous system; it has also been detected on a variety of other cells. In the periphery‚ it is found on autonomic neurons and on neurons of the sensory and enteric nervous system. In the CNS‚ the 5-HT3 receptor has been localized in the area postrema‚ nucleus tractus solitarii‚ nucleus vaudatus‚ nucleus accumbens‚ amygdala‚ hippocampus‚ entorhinal‚

This condition may occur in normal subjects or be associated with narcolepsy‚ cataplexy‚ and hypnagogic hallucinations. The pathophysiology of this condition is closely related to the normal hypotonia that occur during REM sleep.[1] When considered to be a disease‚ isolated sleep paralysis is classified as MeSH D020188.[2] Physiologically‚ it is closely related to the paralysis

Introduction: Having a sound understanding of pathophysiology is imperative for all allied health practitioners within the Australian healthcare system. Pathophysiology is defined to be the functional changes associated with particular diseases (Webster‚ 2016). Knowledge of pathophysiology and its related mechanisms is essential as it helps with the thorough understanding of certain diseases‚ its aetiology and its impact on the patient’s day-to-day life (ANZPAC‚ 2012). The aim of all healthcare practitioners
