What do nerve conduction velocity studies?
Nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV) are used to measure the speed with which an electrical signal is transferred along the nerve.
What is nerve conduction velocity test?
Nerve conduction velocity test-- A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
What is the conduction of nerve impulses?
Neurons
Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?
Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
Conduction of nerve impulses is possible because of the?
Conduction of nerve impulses is possible because ions in the extracellular environment versus the ions inside the cell.
Nerve hearing impairment can be best treated with what?
cochlear implants
What will increase the rate of conduction of an action potential along a nerve?
Myelinating the nerve
Mechanism of nerve conduction?
Nerve impulses are conducted along the axon in the myelinated nerve fiber with causes the polarity of the nerve.
Can conduction deafness result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve?
Yes the result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve is sensorineural deafness. The result from the fusion of the ossicles is conduction deafness.
What is the relay station for nerve impulses?
There is no relay station in nerve impulse conduction.
What is the nerve conduction velocity test?
It measures the ability of the nerve to conduct electrical signals
Impairment of the vagus nerve may affect the ability to move the?
Throat
