If a patient with symptoms of GERD states that he has been self-treating at home with over-the-counter (otc) ranitidine daily, the next appropriate treatment would be option(b) i.e, Proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole) for 12 weeks.

When stomach acid continually rushes back into the tube between your mouth and stomach, it causes gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (esophagus). Your esophageal lining may become irritated by this backwash (acid reflux). Many people occasionally have acid reflux.

A digestive disorder is GERD. It is brought on by stomach acid refluxing up into your food pipe (esophagus). The most typical GERD symptom is heartburn. Being overweight, overeating, consuming caffeine and alcohol, as well as eating chocolate and spicy foods, are some lifestyle choices that may contribute to GERD.

Stomach acid is blocked and its production is decreased as a result of the Proton pump inhibitor. This allows for the healing of any damaged esophageal tissue. PPIs can aid in preventing heartburn, which frequently accompanies GERD.

Identify, define and break down 10 medical terms related to the nervous system.
lutik1710 [3]
Axons are long nerve processes which carry nerve impulses from the Soma to other neurons, they vary in length but can become almost as long as half of the human body.

The soma (body) of the neuron contains the nucleus which acts as the cell's control centre, these contain many small neurofibrils which project from the nucleus into the dendrites.

Dendrites are short, thick processes which branch out of the soma in a tree like manor. They conduct nerve impulses to the soma.
The three categories of neurons:

Afferent (Sensory) Neurons have the dendrites connected to receptors such as the eyes, ears etc. These receptors change the information they receive into electrical impulses that are transmitted to other neurons. In sensory neurons the axons are connected to other neurons.

Efferent (Motor) Neurons have the dendrites connected to other neurons, the axons are connected to effectors. Effectors are either glands or a muscle cell that is the receiving end of the nerve impulse. The nerve, when excited will cause the effector to react (move, contract, or secrete etc).

Internuncial Neurons have both the dendrites and the axons are connected to other neurons. They are sometimes referred to as connector neurons.
Internuncial neurons are found throughout the body, but especially in the spinal cord and brain.

Properties and characteristics of Neurons:
Normally the electrical impulses (messages) travel through a neuron in only one direction.

The axon may be surrounded by a 'coat' of lipids (fats) and proteins known as the myelin sheath which acts as an insulator.

Neurons are specialist cells that have lost the ability to reproduce themselves. Once the soma of a neuron has died the entire neuron dies, and can never be replaced.
Repair of damaged neurons only occurs in myelinated neurons.

white matter are coloured by myelin, consisting of many neurons supported by neuroglia.
grey matter is soma and dendrites or bundles of unmyelinated axons and neuralgia.
