Factors that influence conduction velocity of a nerve fiber
Diameter of fiber, thickness of myelin, length of nodes (thickness and length can be affected by age), temperature
Nerve conduction velocity
NCV=(distance)/(onset latency time)
Distance=stimulus to AP recording
Neurapraxia
Atonal conduction block, usually repairs itself naturally, commonly problem with myelin
Aconites is
3 grades: axon loss, endoneurium loss, perineurium loss
Neurotmesis
Complete discontinuity
Wallarian degeneration
Degeneration of axon distal to injury
