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.

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_forward
- Car 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_forwardSubject: Neurophysiology How does the resting membrane potential of a cell develop?arrow_forward#8arrow_forward

The level of his injury is at C6 – he preserved function below that neurologic level. He cannot walk and he also has some impairment in the arms and hands. He is still able to use a manual wheelchair with his upper limbs’ ability. Lucas is interested in the HandbikeBattle coming up in 2024. This organized event boosts self-confidence and fitness in those who have completed rehabilitation after an injury. Lucas wishes to train this year so that he can think of going to that event. Lucas may need a power-assisted handcycle for the event, but will train with you to be properly prepared. He has not been as active in the past 5 years as he dedicated himself to his work and family and his recovery in rehab. He has a handcycle and a roller as shown below and you have agreed to meet with him to ensure he is performing safely and correctly during his weekly sessions.  a) What…arrow_forward
