Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 4AYKA
Maria is a 3-year-old who has been diagnosed with CIPA, or congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. This disease results from a genetic mutation that causes essentially all general sensory neurons to not function properly. What types of sensations will Maria be unable to detect (be specific)? Predict what problems she might face from her condition.

A 57-year-old man presents at the emergency department with the following symptoms: sudden onset of a headache, weakness of his right arm and leg, and right sided facial droop. He complained that the right side of his body felt numb, and he was found to have diminished touch and position sense on that side. His visual fields were intact, and his cranial nerve examination was normal. The most likely cause of this was occlusion of the:
right middle cerebral artery
right anterior cerebral artery
left middle cerebral artery
left anterior cerebral artery
both vertebral arteries
Basilar artery
right posterior cerebral artery
left posterior cerebral artery
Discuss the five phases of nocioceptive pain from initiation of the pain signal to perception and modulation by the brain. Make sure to include the different fiber types. different types of pain, and the different neurotransmitters involved in your answer.
Ototoxic drugs are drugs that may damage the cochlea, auditory nerve and/or the vestibular system of the ear. The damage caused is usually temporary and symptoms improve once the patient stops taking the drug. However, in some patients, the damage is permanent. Damage to the cochlea is the most common problem associated with these drugs.
The reason that hearing loss results when the cochlea is damaged is:
Select one:
a. The bones in the ear do not amplify or increase the sound vibrations.
b. The eardrum cannot transmit vibrations from sound waves to the malleus.
c. The Eustachian tube remains open.
d. Hair cells within the damaged cochlea do not bend preventing the transmission of an electrical signal to the auditory nerve.
