Eva8 [605]

Answer: The next most appropriate step would be a LUMBAR PUNCTURE.

Explanation:

A LUMBAR PUNCTURE is a medical procedure that is usually carried out by a trained health personnel. It is a procedure that is carried out in the lumbar region of the spinal cord to access and obtain the cerebrospinal fluid which is used for further diagnosis of an underlying disease or illness.

A LUMBAR PUNCTURE is often adviced when the symptoms of a disease is related to the central nervous system. From the symptoms observed from the 19-year-old woman at the emergency department which includes:

--> generalized headache which is increasing in intensity,

--> blurred vision,

--> intermittent diplopia,

--> vague dizziness.

--> bilateral papilledema and

--> normal MRI of the brain.

Since the MRI of the brain is normal, the most appropriate step to be taken by the health care provider is a lumbar puncture which enables a direct access to the cerebrospinal fluid. This would help to rule out an elevated intracranial pressure which may be the cause of the generalized headache which is increasing in intensity.

Which neuron would activate to a muscle? 2. : Which neuron would be found in the retina of the eye? 3. : Which neuron is a senso
lesya [120]

Answer:

Since this question has multiple subquestions in it, I will give you the answer to them as follows:

1. Which neuron would activate a muscle? They are called multipolar neurons, they are found mostly originating from the CNS itself and they are multipolar because when a neuron stimulates a muscle, one signal from just one terminal is not enough; it requires the stimulation from several neurnal terminals.

2. Which neuron would be found in the retina of the eye? A bipolar neuron. This is because these neurons will fulfill a double function: to activate the muscles of the retina, and also they will convey messages taken by the sense of sight, towards the brain for interpretation and integration.

3. Which neuron is a sensory neuron found in a reflex arc? The answer again is a unipolar neuron. These neurons will not reach the brain itself, but rather the reflex arc site on the spinal cord. Their task is to relay sensations from the site that has been stimulated to the spinal cord and from there to the affected place, with the correct response.

4. Which neuron is never myelinated? Again the answer is the bipolar neurons found connecting the retina and the eyes. The reason is that these neurons are capable of relying fast messages to and from the brain, whereas in myelinated ones, messages go slower due to the myeling sheaths.

5. Which neuron is typically involved in the special senses of sight and smell?  Once more the answer is the bipolar neurons that are most commonly found connecting the different organs of these two senses. Since these have such unique capabilities: relying information for integration and sensory and motor responses, their action potentials travel fast, and have a short distance to go.
