What is block anesthesia?
Injecting anesthetic agents into a primary nerve located near the surgical site produces block anesthesia (also known as regional anesthesia), which is a more extensive local anesthesia. The patient remains conscious, but is usually sedated
How is the patient prepared for infant male circumcision?
Local anesthesia is often injected at the base of the penis (dorsal penile nerve block) or under the skin around the penis (subcutaneous ring block). EMLA cream can also be used.
What is the anatomic procedure known as neurolysis?
Another anatomic procedure is neurolysis, also called a nerve block, which involves destroying a portion of a peripheral nerve.
Which substance is also known as nerve glue?
Glial cells
Is a elctroneuromyography also known as nerve conduction studies?
False
What is a type of cell also known as a neurons?
A nerve cell
How many optic nerves are there in eyes?
There is one optic nerve in the eye. It is also known as cranial nerve II.
What nerve is also known as the acoustic or auditory nerve?
The nerve that is also known as the acoustic or auditory nerve is the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). It is responsible for transmitting auditory and balance information from the inner ear to the brain.
Parasympathetic innervation of the stomach is provided by?
Parasympathetic innervation of the stomach is provided by the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is located in the brain and is also known as the pneumogastric nerve.
What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
What are pulpal reaction to local anesthesia?
The most commonly used local anesthetic is lidocaine (also called xylocaine or lignocaine), a modern replacement for novocaine and procaine. Its half-life in the body is about 1.5-2 hours. Other local anesthetics in current use include articaine, septocaine, marcaine (a long-acting anesthetic), and mepivacaine. A combination of these may be used depending on the situation. Also, most agents come in two forms: with and without epinephrine. The most common technique, effective for the lower teeth and jaw, is inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia. An injection blocks sensation in the inferior alveolar nerve, which runs from the angle of the mandible down the medial aspect of the mandible, innervating the lower teeth, lower lip, chin, and tongue. The inferior alveolar nerve probably is anesthetized more often than any other nerve in the body. To anesthetize this nerve, the dentist inserts the needle somewhat posterior to the patient's last molar. Several nondental nerves are usually anesthetized during an inferior alveolar block. Themental nerve, which supplies cutaneous innervation to the anterior lip and chin, is a distal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. When the inferior alveolar nerve is blocked, the mental nerve is blocked also, resulting in a numb lip and chin. Nerves lying near the point where the inferior alveolar nerve enters the mandible often are also anesthetized during inferior alveolar anesthesia. For example, the lingual nerve can be anesthetized to produce a numb tongue. The facial nerve lies some distance from the inferior alveolar nerve, but in rare cases anesthetic can diffuse far enough posteriorly to anesthetize that nerve. The result is a temporary facial palsy (paralysis or paresis), with the injected side of the face drooping because of flaccid muscles, which disappears when the anesthesia wears off. If the facial nerve is cut by an improperly inserted needle, permanent facial palsy may occur.
What are the d block elements known as?
d-block elements are also called transition elements.
