What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
What was scratched into the wall in cell no. 21 in block 11 and how was it done?
Two religious pictures by his fingernails.
What is the small gap between neurons called?
The small microscopic gabs b/w the two neurons are called "Synapse". The conduction of nerve impulse through this synapse is made possible through Neurotransmitters. As the impulse reaches at the Pre-synaptic membrane the small vesicles release these Neurotransmitters which initialize the impulse in post-synaptic membrane.
Tingling sensation in right testicle?
Tingling feeling in testicles can be due to prolonged sitting cause nerve compression or pinched nerve in your case. Other possibilities are anxiety, contact dermatitis, traumatic damage to the nerves of penis, diabetes, prostatitis or vitamin B 12 deficiency. Take vitamin B 12 supplements and get your blood sugar levels, PSA levels and nerve conduction velocity test done.
What is the blind spot of the retina?
That is the place on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye; there are no light receptors there. In your left eye it is left of the center of the field of vision, and in the right eye it is right of the center of the field of vision. So physically, they are both inside of center. It is fun to demonstrate the blind spots and it is easily done.
How much work is done when a 100 N force moves a block 59 m?
Just multiply the force times the distance.
How is leg shortening done?
Leg shortening surgery is also performed under general anesthesia. Generally, femoral shortening is preferred to
Femoral nerve dysfunction?
DefinitionFemoral nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in the leg due to nerve damage.See also: Peripheral neuropathy; Mononeuropathy; Mononeuritis multiplexAlternative NamesNeuropathy - femoral nerve; Femoral neuropathyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThe femoral nerve is located in the leg. It supplies the muscles that help straighten the leg. It provides feeling (sensation) to the front of the thigh and part of the lower leg.A nerve is made up of many fibers, called axons, surrounded by insulation, called the myelin sheath.Damage to a nerve such as the femoral nerve is called mononeuropathy. Mononeuropathy usually means there is a local cause of the nerve damage, although disorders that involve the entire body (systemic disorders) can also cause isolated nerve damage (such as occurs with mononeuritis multiplex).The usual causes of femoral nerve dysfunction are direct injury (trauma), prolonged pressure on the nerve, and compression of the nerve by nearby parts of the body or disease-related structures (such as a tumor). Prolonged pressure may lead to a lack of oxygen because there is decreased blood flow (ischemia) in the area. This lack of oxygen can cause further complications.Entrapment involves pressure on the nerve where it passes through a narrow structure (for example, as it passes through a muscle). The damage includes destruction of the insulation around the nerve (the myelin sheath) or destruction of part of the fibers themselves (the axon). This damage slows or prevents nerve impulses from passing through the nerve.The femoral nerve can be injured due to breaking bones of the pelvis. It can be injured when a catheter is placed in the artery in the groin (femoral artery), which lies next to the nerve. It can be one of many nerves affected by diseases causing widespread nerve damage (polyneuropathy), such as diabetes. It also can be damaged by pressure from tumors, abscesses, or internal bleeding into the pelvis or abdomen.One common risk factor is lying on the back with the thighs and legs flexed ("lithotomy" position) during surgery or diagnostic procedures. Branches of the femoral nerve can be compressed by tight or heavy waist belts. In some cases, no cause can be found.SymptomsSensation changes in the thigh, knee, or leg, such as decreased sensation, numbness, tingling, burning, a feeling of the knee "giving way" or buckling, or (uncommonly) painWeakness of the knee or leg, including difficulty going up and down stairs -- especially downSigns and testsAn exam of the nerves and muscles (neuromuscular exam) of the legs shows that the femoral nerve is not working well. You might have weakness when you straighten the knee or bend at the hip. Sensation changes are located on the front of the thigh and inner calf. The knee reflex may be decreased or absent. The quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh may be smaller than normal.Tests that reveal femoral nerve dysfunction may include:Electromyography (EMG)Nerve conduction tests (NCV, usually done at the same time as an EMG)MRI to check for masses or abnormal tissue (lesions)You'll have tests based on the suspected cause of the problem, which the doctor will base on your medical history, symptoms, and the pattern of symptom development. These tests may include various blood tests, x-rays, scans, or other tests.TreatmentYour doctor will try to identify and treat the cause of the nerve damage. In some cases, no treatment is required and you'll recover on your own. In that case, any treatment is aimed at increasing mobility and independence while you recover.Supportive treatment is usually given if the symptoms come on suddenly, if there is only minor sensation or movement changes, no history of trauma to the area, and no sign that nerve function is getting worse.Other treatments include:Corticosteroids injected into the area to control obvious swelling or inflammation.Pain medication, if necessary. Various other medications can reduce the stabbing pains that some people experience. The benefits of medications should be weighed against any possible side effects.Some people might benefit from surgical removal of tumors or other growths that press on the nerve.Physical therapy may be helpful to maintain muscle strength. Orthopedic appliances such as braces or splints may help in walking. Your health care provider might recommend vocational counseling, occupational therapy, job changes or retraining, or similar interventions.Expectations (prognosis)If the cause of the femoral nerve dysfunction can be identified and successfully treated, it is possible to recover fully. In some cases, there may be partial or complete loss of movement or sensation resulting in some degree of permanent disability.Nerve pain may be quite uncomfortable and can continue for a long time. Injury to the femoral area may also injure the femoral artery or vein, which can cause bleeding and other problems.ComplicationsWhen there is a loss of feeling (sensation), a potential complication is repeated and unnoticed injury to the leg. When there is muscle weakness, falls and related injuries may occur.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you develop symptoms of femoral nerve dysfunction.PreventionPrevention depends on the cause of the nerve damage.ReferencesMisulis KE.

What is the gap between neurons called in the human nervous system?
This gap is called the synapse. It takes something to cross it to stimulate the next nerve cell to carry the information to it's destination. This would either be a neurotransmitter or an ion. Blocking the gap stops the information. If you get a nerve block so surgery can be done, this is what happens.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
What important work is done by the nerve?
carry messages to the brain
Cantering is a gate that is walked jumped that is done in three times that is done in six times that is done in nine times?
horses
How much work will you will have done if you lift a block 2 m?
Without knowing the mass of the block that cannot be calculated.
Can you block off the rear ac of a 2002 Tahoe Z71to eliminate replacing the evaporator that has a small leak?
Yes you can and I have done this many times and you can either use block off plugs in the rear or install a front a/c manifold for a single a/c system and recharge it.
What is a treatment for sunspots?
Sometimes, Just stay out of the Sun and and block, other times you will need to apply a topical steroid, other times you need a procedure done from a dermatologist. Sometime it is nothing more than freckling, other times it could be something as bad as skin cancer.
How can you fix a crack in engine block?
It can be done but unless the block is rare or an antique, it isn't worth it. Buy a new or good used block to replace the cracked one.
Are there any exercises that can be done at home to rebuild shoulder and arm-muscles after they stopped working due to nerve damage?
If the nerve injury has healed then it's "just" a matter of slowly starting to use the arm more and more while focusing on range of motion rather than on weight. If the nerve damage is persisting there isn't much that can be done.
