<h2>Atelectasis</h2>

Explanation:

Definition: A respiratory complication due to partial or complete collapse of a part of a lung or an entire lung. Lungs are filled with tiny air sacs termed alveoli. When alveoli are deflated due to alveolar fluid accumulation, collapse of the lung takes place. Due to deflation of air sacs, the lung volume decreases which leads to respiratory difficulties.

Etiology: Mucous plug, foreign body, tumor, chest trauma, pleural effusion, pneumonia, etc

Clinical manifestation: Shallow, rapid, difficult or labored breathing; wheezing or cough; pneumonia; dyspnea, pleuritic pain

Evaluation by: X-ray, chest CT scan, bronchoscopy, oximetry, thorax ultrasound

Medication: Include

Bronchodilators to induce sputum expectoration and provide lung ventilation
Antibiotics in case of any infection
Other medications depending upon the underlying medical condition if any
Treatments like incentive spirometry, CPAP, chest physiotherapy, postural drainage etc can be done to treat atelectasis.

Answer:

A- Sensory Neuron

B- Spinal cord

C- Effector neuron

D - Brain

Explanation:

Sensory neuron: Its main function is to allow the reception of stimuli that are transformed into nervous impulses and electrical signals, capable of realizing sensations, such as a peliscão, for example. These impulses are transmitted to the spinal cord.
Spinal cord: The main function is to support the body in an upright and vertical position. It also has the function of transmitting electrical signals and nerve impulses between some parts of the body and the brain.
Effector neuron: Its main function is to receive muscle stimuli capable of creating muscle contractions. These neurons are located in the spinal cord.
Brain: the processing center receives all the stimuli sent by the bone marrow. Its main function, in this case, is to produce bodily responses to the stimuli it has received, producing muscle movement.
