Chapter 15, Problem 4CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The pain in the lower abdomen and thighs due to a kidney infection.

Visceral sensory neurons innervate the internal organs like kidney, stomach, and intestine among others. They can detect temperature, pain, chemical changes, and stretch in these organs. The receptor for these stimuli consists of free nerve endings, which are widely scattered in these organs.

In a syndrome called word blindness, a person loses the ability to read (even single letters), although the person can still see and speak. What is a possible neurological explanation? That is, can you imagine a pattern of brain damage that might produce this result?
Which is an incorrect statement about simple nerve nets?
a- Neurons are randomly poisoned relative to one another.
b- They control the contraction and expansion of the gastrovascular cavity.
c- They don’t contain nerves.
d- They are organized into ganglia.
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. How could you test to see which condition is causing this?
If it is MS, what is causing these symptoms? Why did it start in their hands and feet?
How would you treat this patient, if they have MS?
