____ of nerves optimizes health, promotes blood flow and axoplasm.
Movement of nerves optomizes health, promotes blood flow and axoplasm.
Nerves are flexible; they lengthen and shorten with movement.
If nerves are encased in scar tissue, patient may have symptoms of pain and sensory changes (paresthesia) due to compression and lack of gliding.
Trophic changes are shown through:
A. Loss of Sensation
B. Shiny skin, Brittle nails, and subcutaneous tissues thicken
C. Poor healing of wounds and infections
D. All of the Above
D. All of the Above
Carpal Tunnel is considered what type of neuropathy?
A. Polyneuropathy
B. Mononeuropathy
C. Multiple Mononeuropathy
D. All of the Above
B. Mononeuropathy
involves a single nerve and is considered a focal dysfunction
Diabetes is considered what type of neuropathy?
A. Polyneuropathy
B. Mononeuropathy
C. Multiple Mononeuropathy
D. Both B and C
D. Both B and C
Multiple mononeuropathy: Involves several nerves and is multifocal (i.e., asymmetrically involves individual nerves) Polyneuropathy: Involves many nerves and is a generalized disorder that typically has a distal and symmetrical presentation
Which root contains motor axons?
A. Dorsal Root
B. Ventral Root
C. Both A and B
D. None of the Above
B. Ventral Root
Which root contains sensory neurons?
A. Dorsal Root
B. Ventral Root
C. Both A and B
D. None of the Above
A. Dorsal Root
In diabetic neuropathy __ is affected most severely, often in a stocking-glove distribution.
A. The motor system
B. The pain receptors
C. Sensation
D. Both A and C
