Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

16.4K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.6K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

4.2K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Movement Joints in Buildings

361
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

3.6K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Muscles of the Eye01:20

Muscles of the Eye

4.5K
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and...

Summary

Patients with idiopathic blepharospasm show delayed initiation of visually guided, memory-contingent, and antisaccades. This suggests a potential defect in the brain

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Movement Disorders

Background:

  • Idiopathic blepharospasm is a focal dystonia affecting the eye muscles.
  • Saccadic eye movements are crucial for visual exploration and information processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate saccadic eye movement abnormalities in patients with idiopathic blepharospasm.
  • To explore potential neurological underpinnings of these abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • Infra-red reflection technique used to record saccadic eye movements.
  • Study included 12 patients with idiopathic blepharospasm and healthy controls.
  • Three types of saccades were analyzed: visually guided, memory-contingent, and antisaccades.

Main Results:

  • Saccade latencies were significantly prolonged in patients with idiopathic blepharospasm compared to controls.
  • Peak velocities and gains of saccades did not differ between groups.
  • Findings suggest an initiation deficit in the saccadic system.

Conclusions:

  • The results point to an initiation defect within the saccadic system in idiopathic blepharospasm.
  • This defect may be associated with dysfunction in the caudate nucleus.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm the localization and implications of this finding.
