Spinal Cord7
  • When the reflex responses do not present, this could mean that the spinal cord, nerve root, peripheral nerve, or muscle has been injured/damaged in some way. (dralexjimenez.com)
  • The brain stem is the rostral continuation of the spinal cord and its motor and sensory components are similar in structure to that of the spinal cord. (mhmedical.com)
  • This is not a reflex , per se, in that the nerve potential travels from the site of the stimulating electrode in the limb to the spinal cord and back to the limb in the same nerve that was stimulated. (wikidoc.org)
  • This also evaluates conduction between the limb and the spinal cord, but in this case, the afferent impulses (those going towards the spinal cord) are in sensory nerves while the efferent impulses (those coming from the spinal cord) are in motor nerves. (wikidoc.org)

(medscape.com)
  • Burnstock (1999) recently put forward a hypothesis about purinergic mechanosensory transduction that proposed that in hollow organs, including the ureter and bladder, distension causes release of ATP from epithelial cells lining these organs and that ATP can then activate P2X 3 receptors on subepithelial sensory nerve terminals to evoke neural discharge. (jneurosci.org)
  • Sensory NCS are performed by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve and recording from a purely-sensory portion of the nerve, such as on a finger. (wikidoc.org)
  • H-reflex study uses stimulation of a nerve and recording the reflex electrical discharge from a muscle in the limb. (wikidoc.org)
  • The interpretation of nerve conduction studies is complex, but in general, different pathological processes result in changes in latencies, motor and/or sensory amplitudes, or slowing of the conduction velocities to differing degrees. (wikidoc.org)
  • Another example, slowing across the wrist for the motor and sensory latencies of the median nerve indicates focal compression of the median nerve at the wrist, called carpal tunnel syndrome . (wikidoc.org)
  • Activating the trigeminal touch nerve, can overwhelm the sneeze reflex. (yahoo.com)
