Anatomy Assignment: Medical Case

Visual fields full to confrontation. Extraocular muscles intact. Pupils are slightly enlarged on the left compared to the right, which she states is old since her eye injury. They do respond directly and consensually. Normal facial symmetry, sensation, and movement. Tongue and uvula are midline. Normal shoulder shrug. Normal auditory acuity.

1. Name the circulatory system that carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart.

The structure that furnishes the axis for the rotation of the head from side to side is the:

P4- Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body.

3. What organ system was most likely not reattached? Explain. Nervous system, it will never be the same again.

6. The reattached nerves would not recover as quickly and completely as the reattached muscles after Jim’s surgery because the body will repair itself by regenerating the muscles. Theses regenerating nerve muscles will automatically grow down the nerve and restore muscle by supplying it with nerves through regrowth. If they connect correctly the motor nerve to muscle and sensory nerve to skin will recover. If they do not connect correctly, they will not completely

As Jim’s muscles are at maximum demand, his mitochondria are unable to produce the needed ATP through aerobic respiration because oxygen is unable to diffuse fast enough into his muscle fibers. At this time anaerobic

Response: That specific cranial nerve is the Hypoglossal (XII) nerve and it belongs to the Sensory Somatic nervous system.

1. Answer all questions with material that explains your answer. Yes/no answers receive NO credit.

Define equilibrium potential: Equilibrium channels can be calculated using the Nernst Equation and the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation. Equilibrium potentials are membrane potentials when an ion does not diffuse through the membrane. It is also associated with potassium leaving the cell through leak channels.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that you are suffering from disorder related to Facial Nerve causing BELL'S PALSY and unilateral numbness of face can be due to either Viral Infection or traumatic injury to Facial Nerve..

Nerve injury in gingival graft procedures is a very rare accident. Nevertheless, there are important anatomic structures to be concern. The greater palatine foramen and mentonian foramen can be injuried from complication of dental injection, poor tissue handling or very large flaps. It is important to precisely document the area and type of sensation felt by the patient (anesthesia, dysesthesia, paresthesia) to monitor the

In 1823, Bernard reported the first case of parotid tumor resection.3 Before the 1940s, parotid surgery of pleomorphic adenoma was associated with high rate of permanent facial nerve paralysis and recurrence (20-45%). It was not until 1907, when Thomas Carwardine reported the first series of patients whose underwent parotid gland resection with facial nerve preservation.4 Identification of the main trunk of the facial nerve first, followed by removal of superficial and/or deep lob

The mandible is a U-shaped bone that supports the lower teeth and makes up the lower facial skeleton. It has no bony attachments to the skull. It is suspended below the maxilla by muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues, which therefore provide the mobility necessary to function with the maxilla. The superior aspect of the arch-shaped mandible consists of the alveolar process and the teeth. The body of the mandible extends posteroinferiorly to form the mandibular angle and posterosuperiorly to form the ascending ramus. A vertical plate of bone that extends upward as two processes forms the ascending ramus of the mandible. The anterior of these is the coronoid process; the posterior is the condyle.(13)

Facial nerve palsy can be caused by specific disease processes such as cerebrovascular events, infections and trauma. The lower motor neuron facial nerve paralysis which has no specific identifiable causation is termed Bell’s Palsy.
