PPT-LOWER MOTOR NEURON LOWER MOTOR NEURON PARAPLEGIA

DR RABIA RATHORE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR WEST MEDICAL WARD MAYO HOSPITALKEMU DEFINITION OF PARAPLEGIA Paraplegia is a word taken from GREEK language para plessein means STRIKE AT SIDE. Integrative Physiology I: . Control of Body Movement. About this Chapter. Neural reflexes. Autonomic reflexes. Skeletal muscle reflexes. The integrated control of body movement. Control of movement in visceral muscles. Presented by Alexia DeLara, Vanesa Mesic, . Joseph Ekofo, Amber . Tinagero, . and Jerilyn Curtis. What is ALS?. ALS is a rapidly progressive idiopathic neurodegenerative disease primarily targeting voluntary motor neurons, which may result in muscle weakness, paralysis, and respiratory failure. Objectives:. To describe the pathway nervous impulses travel through a reflex. To observe reflexes and reaction times.

CNS influence the activity of skeletal muscle through two sets of neuron. Upper motor neuron. Lower motor neuron. Upper motor neurons (UMN) are responsible for conveying impulses for voluntary motor activity through descending motor pathways that make up the upper motor neurons.. Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is an uncommon disease that affects the brain and nerves. In MND your motor nerves become damaged and eventually stop working and you gradually lose your strength . There is currently no cure for Motor Neurone Disease . Elmalky. Lecturer of Neurology, South Valley University. IFNR. Zurich University. These disorders are characterized by selective loss of function of the Lower and\or upper motor neurons due to selective degenerative changes which involve; . Understand the motor pathway from spinal cord to skeletal muscle. Articulate the influence of afferent sources on muscle tone and reflex response. 1. Lower motor neurons. Alpha motor neurons.
