Concept explainers
To analyze:
A student is studying for the anatomy and physiology exam for the first time and wants to remember, which regions of the brain are working the hardest. The student's classmate suggests that he or she can have a CT (computed tomography) scan in order to assess the activity of the brain. Determine CT scan would be the best way to observe activity levels of the brain with correct reasoning.
Introduction:
This scan utilizes the various computer processed combinations of the X-rays, which are taken at different angles in order to generate cross-sectional images of certain regions of the scanned object and allows the user to observe the inside of the object without actually cutting it.

Rate: Rhythm: P-R QRS: Interpretation:arrow_forwardCar accident: 2-in-1 case Cecilia was taken to the hospital after she got into a car accident. She hit her head on the left side window and lost consciousness. She woke up after few hours in the hospital and was fully aware but started feeling numb on her right hand and seemed to have partially lost her memory. During testing to evaluate her condition she was able to draw letters and shapes but not to the extent of fine details. She was later scheduled for further testing and treatment. Discuss her case and post it in the discussion board based on the following questions 1-Cecilia’s CT scan showed internal bleeding in what could possibly cause the numbness in her right hand? In Which area was the bleeding? discuss your answer 2- What is your analysis on her evaluation results? Name the case and brain area that was affected.arrow_forward
- When transcribing the neurologic review of systems, you hear the following sentence: "No dizziness, seizures, or (aphagia/aphasia)." Which word must be transcribed and why?arrow_forwardB. Question A 75-year-old man was found unconscious in his bathroom after falling and hitting his head. He survived for several hours but died later in the hospital. An autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause of death. Evidence indicated that the man had suffered two strokes, both due to blocked blood vessels. One had occurred a few weeks earlier; the other had occurred very recently and may have led to the fall. Autopsy findings also indicated that, when the man hit his head, some damage to his brain occurred as well. Based on what you know about inflammation and the cellular structure of the brain, describe what the pathologist found in each of the damaged areas of the brain. C. Question Predict the effect of a decrease in the extracellular concentration of Ca2+ on the resting membrane potential.arrow_forwardwhat is a neurovascular assessmentarrow_forward
- Subject: Neurophysiology How does the resting membrane potential of a cell develop?arrow_forwardThe level of a sex hormone, testosterone (T), is controlled by negative feedback. Another hormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH), is released by the hypothalamus of the brain, which triggers the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH). LH stimulates the gonads to produce T. When there is too much T in the bloodstream, it feeds back on the hypothalamus, causing it to produce less GNRH. While this does not describe all the feedback loops involved in regulating T, answer the following questions about this particular feedback loop.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between "functional death" and " brain death."
