Horner’s Syndrome Anatomy and physiology Horner’s syndrome is a rare condition that targets the nerves in one’s eyes and face. Horner’s syndrome is caused by any type of interruption in a pack of nerves that begin in a part of one’s brain that is called the hypothalamus and it travels to one’s face to their eyes. Horner’s syndrome’s symptoms include‚ drooping eyelips‚ and small constricted pupil. In an eye examine one’s eye may have changed in the way one’s pupil opens and closes or

OUTCOME 4 – Understand the use of materials‚ equipment and resources that are available when undertaking pressure are care. Identify a range of aids or equipment used to relieve pressure. Pressure relieving aids include‚ propad mattress/cushion or an airflow mattress/cushion can be used for individuals to sleep or sit on if they are not very mobile. For an individual with good mobility it is important that they move around often to help relieve pressure. For something with poor mobility

the brain- AKA ~"The Master Gland" -Primary function is to control other glands -Produces many hormones -Secretion is controlled by the hypothalamus in the base of the brain The Pituitary Gland is divided into 2 areas‚ which differ ~structurally and functionally ~each area has separate types of hormone production The 2 segments are: ~Posterior Pituitary -produces oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) ~Anterior Pituitary -produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) -growth hormone

temperature can be controlled. They involve sweating‚ shivering‚ capillaries and hairs. As we learn in the class when your body becomes; Too hot When we get too hot: (1) The sweat gland in the skin release more sweat. This evaporates‚ removing heat energy from the skin. (2) The blood vessels leading to the skin capillaries becomes wider ‚ they expand allowing more blood to flow

about Eugene’s electrolytes in regard to his heart and brain because they control nerve and muscle impulses. B. Bicarbonate will get rid of the excess hydrogen ions and return his blood to normal. C. Eugene’s vitals are: pulse rate 110/min‚ blood pressure 135/80‚ respirations 25/min‚ and blood oxygen saturation 97%. I know Eugene is an alcoholic and has pancreatis. I also know that there is a problem with his electrolytes. Getting the results from the CT scan would help me figure out what’s causing

Understand the anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals Our bodies have lots of bones and muscles and these work together to help the body move. Every part of the body has certain muscles and bones that will work that part of the body. They work like hinges or levers to pull the muscles in the correct direction. When our bodies get
