What are nociceptors?
It is a receptor of a sensory neuron (nerve cell). Pain reception “ sensation is based on receptor function of nociceptive free nerve endings
What are proprioceptors?
Receptor is found in the same organ (muscle) as the effector (muscle). It is maintaining muscular tone. Definition: detection of changes in body posture. Function: information about
the posture and gait
What are exteroceptive reflex?
Receptor is found in an organ (skin) different from that of the effector (muscle)
What is Hyperalgesia?
Is an increased sensitivity to pain, which may be caused by damage to nociceptors or peripheral nerves
Myasthenia gravis
Is an autoimmune disease or congenital neuromuscular disease, which results from antibodies that block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the junction between nerve and muscle. This prevents nerve impulses from triggering muscle contraction “ muscle weakness.
If craniocervical part of spine damaged, what happens?
No UMN to front - and hind limb (Tetra paresis)
Respiratory failure
Decreased proprioception
Thoracolumbar part of spine damaged:
No LMN to hind limb
