Explain the ascending pathway of how the information about touch sensation travels from the right arm up to the brain where he is aware that he has been touched. (Use complete sentences.) Use these key words in this order: sensory neuron, radial nerve in brachial plexus, spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal horn in cervical spinal cord, ascending tract, decussate, somatosensory cortex in postcentral gyrus, parietal lobe, Mr. Dexter thinks “Someone touched my arm.”)

As discussed in this video, movies that are shot in 3-D can cause motion sickness, which elicits the autonomic symptoms of nausea and sweating. The disconnection between the perceived motion on the screen and the lack of any change in equilibrium stimulates these symptoms. Why do you think sitting close to the screen or right in the middle of the theater makes motion sickness during a 3-D movie worse?arrow_forwardMatch each term to the correct numbered phrase. cerebral cortex first-order neuron posterior (dorsal) root ganglion second-order neuron thalamus third-order neuron ______________________ 1.

Mrs. Dodd is connected to several monitoring devices, has an intubation tube and ventilator to assist her with respirations, and is receiving various pain and other medications. Identify factors that place Mrs. Dodd at risk for the development of sensory deprivation or overload. What can you intervene to help Mrs. Dodd during this stressful event? How might the care of a client in the home setting differ from the care of a client such as Mrs. Dodd who is receiving care in a critical care unit?arrow_forward
