The enteric nervous system is composed of the myenteric plexus (Auerbach’s plexus) and the submucosal plexus (Meissner’s plexus)‚ and it consists of a network of nervous fibers‚ ganglion cells (sensory and effectors neurons)‚ and interneurons richly interconnected by reflex arcs located in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract and directed to innervate smooth muscle cells. The effector neurons of the myenteric plexus may be excitatory or inhibitory according to the substances released

make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone‚ but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions‚ like the genioglossus muscle‚ for example‚ originates at the chin (geneion) and inserts in the tongue (glossus). Some muscles are named for the arrangement

INTRODUCTION The word "anesthesia"‚ coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes‚ Sr. (1809–1894) in 1846 from the Greek αν-‚ an-‚ "without"; and aisthēsis‚ "sensation")‚ refers to the inhibition of sensation. An anesthetic (American English) (or anaesthetic‚ (Commonwealth English)) is a drug that causes anesthesia—reversible loss of sensation. They contrast with analgesics (painkillers)‚ which relieve pain without eliminating sensation. These drugs are generally administered to facilitate surgery. A wide

The skill I was observed on was for undertaking a blood pressure measurement. In undertaking this assignment‚ I have maintained confidentiality and I asked the patient for her consent to carry out procedure for measuring blood pressure according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2008). I was directly supervised and observed by my mentor for all the activities undertaken. I will discuss how I took blood pressure of a patient and further explain rationale behind doing specific way.

patient’s left arm should be supported and with relaxed fingers. The cuff of a sphygmomanometer should be placed on the upper left arm. Using a hand held Doppler‚ the probe should be placed below the lower edge of the cuff‚ over the bifurcation of the brachial artery. 3. The cuff should be inflated beyond the expected systolic pressure in order that the pulse disappears as the artery is closed by the pressure and the blood flow stops. Listening carefully to the Doppler‚ the cuff should be deflated slowly

During the skills practice‚ a colleagues BP was measured in the skills laboratory. There are two methods for recording BP direct and indirect with this session it was the indirect technique. The manual auscultatory method measured in the arm on the brachial artery (Richards‚ and Edwards‚ 2008). I introduced myself as a student nurse and then explained the procedure involved systematically to relieve any anxieties. The patient needs to understand the process in order to consent (NMC 2010).
