Chapter 12, Problem 2CSL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for more time taken in the reestablishment of an innervation process than in circulation.
Concept introduction:
If axon due to an injury gets separated from its cell body, its myelin sheath at the distal end gets deteriorated. The cell debris and cell body of these deteriorated cells are removed by macrophages. The sprout neuroglia present at the proximal end then secretes nerve growth factors that influence the sprouts to develop the injured axon. The Schwann cells then start surrounding the new axons for its regeneration.

Peyton felt strange when she awoke one morning. She could not hold a pen in her right hand when trying to write an entry in her diary, and her muscles were noticeably weaker on the right side of her body. Additionally, her husband noticed that she was slurring her speech, so he took her to the emergency room. What does the ER physician suspect has occurred? Where in the brain might the physician suspect that abnormal activity or perhaps a lesion is located, and why?
The limbic system is sometimes called the emotional-visceral brain. Which part of the limbic system is responsible for the visceral connection?
