Lidocaine is also used to relieve itching‚ burning and pain from skin irritation and inflammation. It works by blocking the pain signals sent by the nerve endings on the skin‚ changes signal conduction in neurons by blocking sodium channels. ~Morphine is a very potent drug that is used to relieve severe pain. It can relieve pain by silencing nerves in the spine that produce pain signals‚ morphine also has complex effects in the brain. Morphine can also be very addiction. ~Ketamine is an injection

Major Concepts www.currentnursing.com * The three systems located in the spinal cord act to influence perception of pain‚ viz; * the substantia gelatinosa in the dorsal horn‚ * the dorsal column fibers‚ and * the central transmission cells. * The noxious impulses are influenced by a “gating mechanism

Two of the most important sensory systems in human body are optical system and auditory system. Optical system or sometime called visual system involved in the process of taken amount of stimuli and transfer it into some figure that we can perceive as images that make senses. Auditory systems involved in sound wave that transduced by drum ear into some kind of vibration that eventually gets converted back into wave what we perceive as noise. There are a lot of similarities in their mechanisms of

physiological response in living things. The human body‚ pain may be an underlying symptom of a disorder. Pain may arise from damage in the tissue and subsequent infiltration of immune cells to the damaged region. Similarly‚ pain may be due to injury in the nerves which play critical role as sensory system of the body (Bishop PM‚ 1950). The unpleasant feeling caused by pain compels people to seek medical assistance for appropriate treatment. Sometimes may vanish after a while even without seeking medical

Atherosclerosis is a type of cardiovascular disease where the arterial walls become thickened and hardened due to an excessive build up of fat‚ cholesterol and other substances in the inner lining of arteries forming plaque. Atherosclerosis typically begins in early adolescene and progresses with age.To date‚ the exact cause of atherosclerosis still remains unknown. However‚ there are several risk factors include age‚ gender‚ racial factors‚ family history‚ high blood pressure‚ high cholesterol‚

blood pressure increases. If a stimulus causes blood pressure to rise the following sequence of events occurs. Baroreceptors (the receptors) pressure-sensitive nerve cells located in the walls of certain blood vessel‚ detect the higher pressure. The baroreceptors send nerve impulses (input) to the brain (control center). The brain nerve impulses (output) to the heart and blood vessels (the effectors). Heart rate decreases and blood vessels dilate (widen)‚ which cause blood pressure to decrease (response)

from 4 microns (.004 mm) to 100 microns (.1 mm) in diameter. Their length varies from a fraction of an inch to several feet. Neurons are nerve cells that transmit nerve signals to and from the brain at up to 200 mph. The neuron consists of a cell body (or soma) with branching dendrites(signal receivers) and a projection called an axon‚ which conduct the nerve signal. At the other end of the axon‚ the axon terminals transmit the electro-chemical signal across a synapse (the gap between the axon terminal

corresponding response message travel There are five parts to a reflex arc: 1.) The Receptor‚ which receives the initial stimulus 2.) The Sensory (afferent) Nerve‚ which carries the impulse to the spinal cord or brain 3.) The Intermediate Nerve Fibre (the adjustor or interneuron)‚ which interprets the signal and issues a response 4.) The Motor (efferent) Nerve‚ which then carries the response message from the spinal cord to the muscle or organ 5.) The Effector Organ itself‚ which carries out the response

cord injury is harm to any a part of the funiculus or nerves at the tip of the epithelial duct and sometimes causes permanent changes in strength‚ sensation and different body functions below the location of the injury. What happens when you have a spinal cord injury? It can cause an accident that causes your vertebrae to interrupt may also harm your neural structure. And once the neural structure is broken‚ the route is closed. Nerve impulses can’t get through. This ends up in dysfunction and loss
