What are nociceptors?
It is a R of a sensory neuron ( n. cell). Pain reception–> sensation is based on R function of nociceptive free n. endings.
What are proprioceptors?
R is found in the same organ ( m.) as the effector (m.) Function: information about the posture and gait.
What are exteroceptive reflex?
R is found in an organ (skin) different from that of the effector(m.)
What is heperalgesia?
Increased sensitivity to pain, which may be caused by damage to nociceptors/ peripheral n.
Myasthenia gravis.
An autoimmune disease/ congenital neuromuscular disease, which results from Ab that block nicotinic Ach R at the junction between n. + m.. This prevents n. impulses from triggering m. contraction–> m. weakness.
If cranioc. part of spine damaged, what happens?
No UMN to FL + HL ( Tetraparesis).
Respiratory failure + decreased proprioception.
Thoracolumbar part of spine damaged.
No LMN to HL.
FL: normal.
Caudoc. part of spine damaged.
FL: LMN.
HL: UMN.
Lumbosacral part of spine damaged.
FL: normal.
HL: LMN.
Altered function in LMN results in:
Hyporeflexy, Hypo-/atonia of m. + Flaccid paresis.
Greek meaning of “ Apoptosis”.
“Falling off” –> programmed cell death that occurs in multicelluler organisms.
Released in acute stress:
Catecholamine’s ( E (adrenalin), NorE).
Released in chronic stress:
Glucocorticoids.
What can cause grass tetany?
Lack of Mg ( Hypomagnesium).
Pathogenesis of milk fever?
Decreased Ca, decreased P, increased Mg.
Steroid hormones can cause:
Cushing’s disease ( Hyperadrenocorticism).
Blood loss anaemia:
Acute bleeding leading to hypovolaemia.
Chronic blood loss:
Caused by Fe deficiency.
Urolith/ Bladder stone is caused by:
High P.
Cushing’s disease is the same as:
Hyperadrenocorticism.
Addison’s disease is the same as:
Hypoadrenocorticism.
Which is a lipoprotein?
is a grp of soluble proteins that combine with + transport fat/ other lipids in the blood plasma. HDL, LDL, VLDL, IDL.
Non- regenerative anaemia can be caused by:
Bracken fern toxicosis( pteridium aquilinum).
What can be the cause of haemolysis?
Babesia, is a protozoan parasite that infects RBC causing a disease known as babesiosis.
