Disorders of the Nervous Tissue01:28

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

2.3K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.

Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.

Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System

1.3K
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.

Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

3.8K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

14.7K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sexual Medicine
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Sexual dysfunctions, especially orgasm dysfunction, are often overlooked in neurological women.
  • Current assessment practices in daily clinical settings are insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the types, frequency, and impact of orgasm dysfunction in women with neurological disorders.
  • To highlight the need for better assessment and understanding of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of existing literature was performed.
  • Databases searched included Medline via Pubmed and The Cochrane Database of Systematic Review.

Main Results:

  • Orgasm dysfunction is prevalent, affecting approximately one-third of neurological women.
  • It is frequently associated with arousal difficulties, and voiding/anal dysfunction.
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI) are the most studied conditions, with dysfunction significantly impacting quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Orgasm dysfunction in neurological women is under-assessed and significantly affects their quality of life.
  • Further targeted research is essential to develop effective interventions.
  • Improving sexual health can enhance the overall well-being of neurogenic patients.
