Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

858
Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

9.2K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Cranial Nerves: Types Part I

2.6K
Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves, with the first six being essential in sensory perception, motor control, and autonomic functions related to the head and neck.
Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I)
The olfactory nerve, or cranial nerve I, is unique as it is purely sensory and dedicated to the sense of smell. This nerve originates in the olfactory epithelium of the...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

10.9K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers01:24

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers

815
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

Cranial Nerves: Overview and Anatomy01:19

Cranial Nerves: Overview and Anatomy

1.7K
The cranial nerves are an important part of the complex network of nerves in the human body. These nerves emerge directly from the brain and are responsible for transmitting essential information between the brain and various parts of the head and neck. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, systematically numbered using Roman numerals from I to XII, beginning from the anterior and moving to the posterior of the brain. Each cranial nerve is uniquely identified by names that reflect its function...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational medicine
  • Neurology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Occupational nerve injuries cause significant functional limitations and economic impact.
  • Accurate diagnosis and management require understanding workplace factors driving nerve injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the interplay between anatomy, biomechanics, and nerve pathology in occupational nerve injury.
  • To provide physicians with an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management of workplace nerve injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on anatomy, biomechanics, and nerve pathology in occupational settings.
  • Analysis of mechanisms of nerve injury including compression, stretch, vibration, and repetitive movements.

Main Results:

  • Occupational nerve injury mechanisms include compression, stretch, vibration, and repetitive/high-force movements.
  • Nerve injuries often occur at sites of high pressure, pressure changes, or abrupt trajectory changes near tethered points.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding biomechanical and anatomical factors is crucial for diagnosing occupational nerve injuries.
  • Physicians can enhance treatment by recommending activity modifications and protective equipment.
  • Long-term management involves assessing interventions and facilitating return to work.
