Segmental demyelinaion   Schwann cell dysfunction; damage to myelin sheath; loss of saltatory conduction, replacement has shorter internodes and thinner insulation; inc in NA channels; slower   (blank)  
🗑
Damage to the PNS   damage to the axon: axonal degeneration(more lethal than SD), primary damage to axon followed by myelin sheath dissolution   (blank)  
🗑
Focal axonal Damage   trauma or ischemia induced; wallerian dege: distal to a site of wound, sequence of axonal and myelin degneration; denervation atrophy   (blank)  
🗑
Wallerian Degeneration   cleaning out dead portion; 1. swelling near cut; 2. hypertrophy of the neurofiliments; 3. shrinkage of myelin sheath; degeneration of the axon   (blank)  
🗑
Nerve regeneration   the further you are from the cell body the more likely it will; may or may not; most likely not; permanent loss of function   (blank)  
🗑
Ulnar Nerve Syndrom   compression of ulnar nerve; repair: move ulnar nerve on top; doesn't cure just preserves current function   (blank)  
🗑
Guillanin-Barre Syndrome   Autoimmune PNS inflammatory neuropathy; preceded by viral infection; tcell mediated immune attack on myelin sheath; transient; treatable if caught within days; one person in 100,000; more prevalent with alcoholics   (blank)  
🗑
Chronic Immune Demyelinating Polyneuropathy   Autoimmune PNS inflammatory neuropathy; Remissions and relapses; Demyelination mediated by serum antibodies(macrophage); segmental; thin myelin sheaths; loss of saltatory conduction; conduction block; slow nerve conduction speed; < 80% slower   (blank)  
🗑
MS   Autoimmune CNS inflammatory neuropathy;Autoantibodies activate the complement system against myelin sheath; sclerotic plaques build up around myelin sheath; activates immune response   (blank)  
🗑
Myasthenia Gravis   ACH & receptors autoantibodies; disrupts Ach; destruction of the muscle membrane; complement activation; destruction of neuromuscular junction; increase receptor trunover   (blank)

🗑
Patterns of Breathing(Concepts of Neurological Dysfunction[cognitive system])   16-20 bpm; indicate level of brain function based on rate, rhythm, and pattern; normal breathign is controlled by forebrain, as consciousness decreases lower brainstem regulates breathing in respsonse to co2 levels   (blank)  
🗑
Vommiting(Concepts of Neurological Dysfunction[cognitive system])   lower brain functions; most cns disorders produce nausea and vomiting- over stimulated thalamus   (blank)  
🗑
Pupillary changes(Concepts of Neurological Dysfunction[cognitive system])   indicates presence and level of brainstem dysfunction(hypoxia produces dilated fixed pupil)   (blank)

Cerebral Death   irreversible coma; death of hemispheres not affecting brainstem and cerebellum   (blank)  
🗑
Vegatative State   complete unawareness of environment and self   (blank)  
🗑
Cerebral Hemodynamis   Cerbral Blood Volume: 75ml 15% of cardiac output; Cerebral blood flow: uses 20% of o2, affected by co2 and o2 levels; cerebral perfusion: normal 80mmHg, less than 70 insuffiant; intracranial pressure 5-15mmHg   (blank)  
🗑
Alterations to Cerebral Hemodynamis   Increased intracranial pressure: tumor, edema, excess CSF(blocked drain), hemorrhage; Results in equal loss in volume of other contents: CSF, alt. in cerebral blood flow(stroke), structural changes(herniation - lethal - major structural changes   (blank)
