Which part of the nervous system is damaged in cases of Glaucoma?

Which part of the nervous system is damaged in cases of Galucoma?

Galucoma casses compression of opitic nerve fibers because of increased pressure of eye

Many drugs used during surgery can interfere with the urination process. In these cases the excretory system is not damaged but the correct signals are not being sent to activate it. What system is mo?

The nervous system Just got it right on APEX

How does caffeine effect reaction times?

it effects the nervous system in some cases making the body have spasms

What is the main cell type of the nervous system?

The "main cell" of the nervous system is the NEURON, known as the "nerve cell".

What type of mutation cause glaucoma?

Glaucoma is associated with mutations in several different genes: MYOC, ASB10, WDR36, NTF4, TBK1, OPA1 and OPTN. But most cases of glaucoma do not involve any genetic mutations.

Describe possible damage to the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system due to whiplash?

The damage involves compression injures in which pressure, twisting or stretching is applied to nervous tissues. In severe cases, compression injuries can affect the brain resulting in hematomas.

What is nervous system depression?

Nervous system depression is not the same thing as depression where you feel sad. It means slowing down of the nervous system. Nervous system depression causes things like slowed heartbeat, dulled mental ability, and slow reflexes. Some drugs and medical conditions can cause this. Sedatives are one medication that causes depression of the nervous system.

What type of eye doctor would you go to for Glaucoma?

For glaucoma, you would typically see an ophthalmologist, specifically one who specializes in glaucoma. These eye doctors are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage glaucoma through various methods, including medication and surgery. In some cases, an optometrist may also be able to perform initial screenings and manage mild cases, but more advanced treatment usually requires an ophthalmologist's expertise.

What system is the sensory organs in?

sensory nervous system. Each sensory organ contains millions of receptor cells (dendrites) that send cell signals to the brain through the process of cell signaling. in some cases signals are sent directly to the spinal cord.

Why a can nervous disorder affect motion?

Yes. A nervous disorder can affect motion. Muscles are controlled by the nervous system so malfunctions can cause muscle movements to be disturbed. In extreme cases such as ALS it can cause lost of muscle control entirely.

How many cases of sturge weber have glaucoma in both eyes?

In Sturge-Weber syndrome, glaucoma is a common complication, particularly when the condition involves the eye. Estimates suggest that about 30-70% of individuals with Sturge-Weber syndrome may develop glaucoma, with many experiencing it in both eyes. However, the exact prevalence can vary based on individual cases and the extent of involvement. Regular ophthalmologic evaluations are essential for monitoring and managing potential glaucoma in affected individuals.

Types of Glaucoma?

The 2 main types of Glaucoma are Open-Angle and Angle-Closure. Apart from the two usual types, there are 8 additional types of Glaucoma, most of which are variations of Open-Angle and Angle-Closure. These variations can affect both eyes. a. Open-Angle Glaucoma This is the most common form of Glaucoma and affects the patient for life. It is caused when the eye’s drainage canal get blocked thus damaging the optic nerve. It accounts for over 90% of all Glaucoma cases. b. Angle-Closure Glaucoma Angle-Closure Glaucoma, also known as Narrow-Angle Glaucoma is the second most common type of Glaucoma. In this type, pressure in the eye is increased due to the fluid drainage because the angle in most areas between the iris and the retina are closed. Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention. c. Normal Tension Glaucoma Normal-Tension Glaucoma or Low-Tension Glaucoma happens when the optic nerve is damaged even when the pressure on the eye isn’t too high. The cause of Normal Tension Glaucoma is not fully known. d. Secondary Glaucoma When the increase in eye pressure leading to a damaged optic nerve has an identifiable cause like eye injury, inflammation or drugs, it is categorised as Secondary Glaucoma. Secondary Glaucoma Includes: Pigmentary Glaucoma: tiny pigment granules on the back of the iris break off into the eye liquid (aqueous humor) and become trapped in the eye’s drainage system leading to an increase in eye pressure damaging the optic nerve Congenital Glaucoma: this type is found in babies. Congenital Glaucoma occurs due to incorrect or incomplete development of the eye’s drainage canals before birth leading to increased eye pressure that damages the optic nerve Exfoliative Glaucoma: When flakes peel off the outer layer of the lens, collecting in the angle between the cornea and iris, it block the drainage system of the eye increasing eye pressure. This type of Open-Angle Glaucoma is known for causing more episodes of high pressure, fluctuations, and higher peak pressures than other types of glaucoma. Neovascular Glaucoma: This type of Glaucoma occurs due to abnormal formation of new blood vessels on the Iris that block the eye’s drainage thus increasing pressure on the eye and affecting the Optic Nerve Uvetic Glaucoma: This type of Glaucoma is caused due to an inflammation around the iris or a steroid used to treat the inflammation. The inflammation disrupts the fluid drainage leading to increased eye pressure. Traumatic Glaucoma: When an injury to the eye blocks the eye’s drainage canal, it leads to increased pressure on the eye, in turn damaging the optic nerve. It is important to stay vigilant as most forms of Glaucoma do not have any warning signs and it gets worse with age. It is recommended to get regular eye exams and pressure tests to ensure the health of your eyes.
