Why can many quadriplegic patients who are paralysed from the neck and down can still maintain normal body functions such as breathing and digesting?
paralysis of voluntary muscles, not involuntary muscles and tissues that control body functions
How does poisonous hemlock kill?
Poisonous hemlock contains a toxin called coniine, which disrupts the nervous system by blocking nerve signals. When ingested, coniine can lead to paralysis, including paralysis of the muscles used for breathing, ultimately causing death due to respiratory failure.
When the release of ACh is blocked the result is?
When the release of acetylcholine (ACh) is blocked, communication between nerve cells and muscles is disrupted, leading to muscle weakness or paralysis. This can cause symptoms such as difficulty moving, breathing, or swallowing, depending on which muscles are affected.
What would Poisons Such As Botulism That Prevent The Release Of Acetylcholine Would Cause Muscles To Do?
Poisons like botulism inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for muscle contraction. As a result, muscles would be unable to receive signals to contract, leading to paralysis. This paralysis can affect various muscles, including those involved in breathing, which can be life-threatening. Overall, the affected muscles would remain relaxed and unresponsive.
What is respiratory paralysis?
Respiratory paralysis is a condition in which the muscles responsible for breathing become weak or inactive, leading to an inability to breathe effectively. This can result from various causes, including neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries, or certain diseases that affect the respiratory muscles. As a consequence, individuals may require mechanical ventilation or other interventions to assist with breathing. Prompt medical attention is essential to manage the condition and prevent life-threatening complications.
How does influenza affect the respiratory system?
It can cause paralysis including paralysis of the muscles need for respiration.
What is paralysis of the ciliary muscles of the eye called?
cycloplegia
What are the muscles involved in quiet and heavy breathing?
These are diaphragm and externa intercostal muscles in quiet breathing and sternocliedomastoid ,sclene muscles,anterior serrati in heavy breathing
What organs are effected by paralysis?
Paralysis can affect various organs depending on the severity and location of the nerve damage. Primarily, it impacts the muscles, leading to loss of voluntary movement in affected areas. Additionally, paralysis can influence organs involved in autonomic functions, such as the respiratory system (affecting breathing) and the bladder and bowel (affecting elimination). The extent of organ involvement varies based on whether the paralysis is complete or partial and which nerves are affected.
What type of polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla is?
Bulbar polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla. It can lead to difficulty breathing, swallowing, and speaking due to paralysis of the muscles in these areas.
