does Annie exhibit? Blurred vision and eye strain‚ hands ache and feel weak‚ gasping for air‚ weakness & Constant fatigue 2. Can you see any common features in Annie’s signs and symptoms? Blurred vision and eyestrain we must look at the optic nerve within the brain. Whenever you don’t see well other factors will play into it‚ like headaches‚ soreness‚ and fatigue. 3. Why is Annie having problems breathing? Because she has multiple sclerosis‚ Annie is having degeneration of this area since it

death rates from heart disease‚ stroke‚ accidents‚ etc. The nervous system is a network of neurons (nerve cells) that that sends information to the brain to be analyzed. Neurons live both in and outside the central nervous system. Understanding how the neurons work is vital to understanding the nervous system. Neurons The neuron has two important structures called the dendrite and axon‚ also called nerve fibers. The dendrites are like tentacles that sprout from the cell and the axon is one long extension

myelin sheath. A many-layered white‚ lipid and protein covering produced by the neuroglia that is called the myelin sheath surround the axons of most neurons. The sheath electrically insulates the axon of a neuron and increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction. Axons with such a covering are said to be myelinated whereas those without it are said to be unmyelinated. Two types of neuroglia produce myelin sheaths: neurolemmocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the PNS‚ neurolemmocytes form myelin sheaths

Nerve Conduction Study done on 10/17/15 demonstrated moderate carpal tunnel syndrome on the right side. Compared to his nerve conduction study from 2012‚ there was some worsening of the conduction. Treatment to date includes medications‚ PT‚ trigger finger injections‚ acupuncture‚ radial tunnel release in April 2015 and carpal tunnel release in
