Sannu’s Story A. Leprosy‚ caused by the bacterium Mycrobacterium leprae‚ is a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy worldwide; although it is treatable‚ the damaged caused by the disease is irreversible. In Sannu’s case‚ why is there both sensory loss and muscle weakness? Sannu contracted leprosy from an unknown source and went untreated due to limited medical care. Because of limited medical care and the lack of treatment the sores that were caused by leprosy started to damage the free nerve

Connections to a microprocessor include address‚ control and data busses that allow it to select one of its peripherals and send to or retrieve data from it. Because a microcontrollers processor and peripherals are built on the same silicon‚ the devices are self-contained and rarely have any bus structures extending outside their packages. Microcontrollers integrate a microprocessor with peripheral devices for control of

results in a decrease in cardiac output. Chronic hypertension (CH) is a constantly elevated blood pressure. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) causes a restriction in blood circulation due to atherosclerosis‚ fatty deposits on the inner linings of the arteries that cause a blockage of blood flow; arteriosclerosis‚ loss of elasticity in the arteries themselves; or both. Restricted peripheral blood flow causes an increase in blood pressure because the heart would have to pump with more force to maintain

ALPHA – 2 ADRENORECEPTOR The primary sympathetic neurotransmitter nor-adrenaline and adrenaline exert their central and peripheral actions through specialised receptors called adrenergic receptors. Adrenergic receptors are present in nearly all the peripheral tissues and in the central nervous system neurons. Three types of adrenergic receptors are present – alpha 1‚ alpha 2 and alpha 3(29). They belong to the cell surface G-protein coupled

HCO3- Therefore‚ the increase in PCO2 will lower the pH due to increase in hydrogen ions‚ activating the central chemoreceptors to stimulate the Dorsal (DRG) and Ventral Respiratory group (VRG) which reflexly increase ventilation. Furthermore‚ the peripheral chemoreceptors located on the carotid arteries and aortic bodies is also responsible for detecting changes in arterial PCO2. Therefore‚ the human body tend to favour the hypercapnic drive‚ where response for increased ventilation occurs to exhale
