Study Notes
Medical Case Studies and Physiological Responses
-
Tingling Sensation (Peripheral Nerve): Physiological responses associated with the sympathetic nervous system during stressful situations; stimulation of digestion is not a characteristic.
-
65-Year-Old Teacher: Difficulty adjusting to leisure activities; language-related challenges, hypothalamus is least likely brain structure involved.
-
Student Nurse (Maria): Gradual loss of sensation in right leg; optic nerve is least likely involved in sensory loss.
-
Graphic Designer (Sarah): Epilepsy; normal brain activity is least likely to occur during a seizure.
-
Construction Worker (David): Muscle weakness; all of the above listed causes are possible.
-
Headache (After Exam): Potential causes of headache involving circulatory issues, neurological factors, physiological, and anatomical issues are addressed.
Specific Conditions and Symptoms
-
Volleyball Player (Ana): Symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, cold sweats, loss of consciousness; likely due to a stroke (sudden disruption of blood flow to brain).
-
Mental Patient: Change in personality and behavior; possible implications to the frontal lobe.
-
Tingling Sensation in Hands and Feet (Carlos Yulo): Carpal tunnel syndrome likely.
-
Construction Worker (Ronel): Pain and stiffness in right elbow, Difficulty flexing arms; possible involvement of triceps brachii muscle.
-
Runner (Dian): Thigh pain; Difficulty straightening leg at knee; likely involvement of quadriceps femoris.
Other Physiological Concerns
-
Exercise-Induced Calf Pain (Sarah): Imbalance of electrolytes likely.
-
Muscle Fatigue (Michael): Multiple physiological factors contributing potentially.
-
Profuse Sweating and Breathing Rate (Mark): Decreased blood flow to the lungs.
-
Muscle Weakness and Fatigue (Teacher C): Multiple possible factors.
-
Muscle Pain and Stiffness (Jack): Multiple possible causes.
-
Hamstring Injury (Sarah): Multiple factors contributing.
-
Lower Back Pain and Weakness (John): Muscle atrophy likely.
-
Ballet Dancer (Dian): Difficulty pointing toes, calf tightness; possible involvement of gastrocnemius.
-
Tennis Player (Daniel): Shoulder pain; rotator cuff muscle likely injured.
-
Fitness Enthusiast (Kaira): Rapid heartbeat; SA nodes likely cause.
-
Chest Pain and Shortness of Breath (Heinrich): All listed probable conditions that could be considered.
Medical Diagnoses and Treatments
-
Physical Exams; Routine Check Ups: Includes whooshing sounds or turbulence blood flow, high blood pressure, high blood pressure treatments, possible causes for blood clot in brain, and cardiovascular system effects of exercise and sedentary lifestyles.
-
Lymphatic System: Filtering lymph fluid, immune function, impacts of aging and pregnancy.
-
Endocrine Imbalance: Symptoms of fatigue, cold intolerance, and irregularities in menstruation cycles and acne (thyroid imbalance and adrenal gland imbalances).
