Pathophys

TermDefinefurther definement
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)
Leprosy Infectious PNS Neuropathy; schwann cells invaded by mycobaterium leprae; segemental demyelination; multilayered thickening and endoneurial fibrosis; loss of pain fibers, loss of sensory function 1st (blank)
The cognitive normal consciousness; arousal; reticular activating system content of thought - sleep wake cycle; awareness: self, environment; mood (blank)
causes of alterations in state of arousal acute onset: structural change(bludgeon), metabolic change(blood flow); psychogenic change(schizo, behavior; pathologic process;infectios; vascular; neoplastic; traumatic; congenital; degenerative(alz parkinson); metabolic (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)
Oculomotor repsonses(Concepts of Neurological Dysfunction[cognitive system]) Reflexive eye movements change in various level of brain dysfunction (blank)
motor responses(Concepts of Neurological Dysfunction[cognitive system]) motor respsonse evaluate the level and site of brain dysfunction (blank)
Brain Death brain cannot maintain bodies internal homeostasis (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)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
