    that the nervous system's influence can change aspects of pain. What is happening during a painful experience? Two classes of pain have been delineated: nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. The latter division involves only direct injury to nerves in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Tissues containing specialized sensory receptors, called nociceptors, are activated by noxious stimuli and have been discovered to exist in almost all multicellular animals on Earth, as well as in

    and outgoing flights. The central nervous system is the control center of our body, it sends information out and interprets things our body senses. Regulating, controlling and coordinating incoming and outgoing impulses, thoughts, and feelings via nerves. Functionally, the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (controls in-bound and out-bound neural impulses), and peripheral nervous system (connects the CNS with the peripheral parts of the body). The PNS can be divided into

    The standard deviation is the mean multiplied by the range of the numbers. Activity B: Visual and auditory stimuli Get the Gizmo ready: Click Clear data. Introduction: We perceive stimuli through nerve cells in our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical signal to the brain. After the signal is processed by the brain, other signals are sent to our muscles as we react to the stimulus. Question: Do we react more quickly to visual

    sustained to one or more of the vertebral structures of the spinal column between the levels of C1 and T1, causing damage to one or more of the first eight spinal nerves. When naming the level of injury, the specific vertebral segment involved will be identified by the first letter in which it is named followed by the last spinal nerve root which remains intact; for example, if an individual has a fracture to a cervical vertebra and innervation of the triceps remains, the injury would be identified

    ultimately leading to impaired muscle coordination. The spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and cerebellum are the main components of the body that are affected in this disease. The spinal cord and peripheral nerves begin to degenerate which cause them to become thinner and prevent nerve impulses. Nerve impulses are responsible for the proper functioning of the body. It acts as signaling molecules and when these are prevented proper function of the body is disrupted. The cerebellum is also affected in this

    A Review on Peripheral Nerve Injury Abstract Peripheral nerve injury(PNI) may result in a injury with a gap in the nerve or without gap. It is a largescale problem and is known to affect 2.8% of trauma patients. Unlike CNS, spontaneous regeneration may occur if the injury is small. Although for a deeper injury the regeneration might be partial or may not occur at all. These types of injuries are treated by surgeries using autografts or artificial nerve guidance conduits. Despite, major advancements

    Thank you for your post Rhea. You have identified key takeaways for emerging benefits and limitations of the three imaging modalities for diagnosing PAD. I would like to reverberate your thoughts on the disease process for emphasis. Patients with notable symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with affectation of lower extremities are primarily assessed with an ankle-brachial index and segmental pressure measurements (Pollak, Norton, & Kramer, 2012). Classification of PAD can be accomplished
