The primary difference between spinal and epidural anesthesia is the site of a ministration of the anesthetic agent. The position of the patient and the skin injection site are similar.

With epidural anesthesia, the medication is injected into the tissues directly above the dura mater, where are the agent is then absorbed into the CSF.arrow_forwardThe association cortices are devoted to: The homunculus Stereognosis Higher mental functions Upper motor neuron functionarrow_forward

It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…arrow_forwardA 78-year-old male presents for a hospital follow-up, post-stroke, two days ago.

- A patient has been experiencing numbness and pain in their hands and feet during the winter. They were initially diagnosed with Reynauds (which is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system cutting off blood flow to the hands in the cold), but recently they have been experiencing issues with fine motor control in their hands, and the doctor is concerned that it could be Multiple Sclerosis.
