Neural Tissue Pathology Quiz

Pathological Processes in the Neural Tissue

• There are five places where the neural tissue is susceptible to injury, including bone tunnels, fixed locations, branch locations, rigid interfaces, and stress/tension points.
• There are seven types of injuries, including mechanical and physiological consequences, chronic and acute injuries, and intraneural and extraneural pathology.
• Pathological processes include vascular and mechanical factors, with vascular factors predominating in the early stages of injury.
• Vascular factors include the need for proper blood supply, alterations in the pressure gradient, and intraneural fibrosis.
• Mechanical factors can injure connective and neural tissue, with stretching being more harmful than compression.
• Alterations in the axonal flow can occur due to injury and can cause changes at the cell body, axon, and synapse levels.
• Fibrosis is the final state of any injury to the neural tissue and can encourage the emergence of further injury.
• The "double crush syndrome" can occur when small grips on the nerve cause distal neuropathy by entrapment.
• Pain in the nervous system can come from nociceptive origin in connective tissues, dysesthesic pain in peripheral nervous trunks, and ectopic pulses, neuromas, or abnormal synapse in neural tissues.
• Atypical anatomy of the neural tissue can produce a greater chance of nerve entrapment.
• The nervous system adapts well to tension or pressure over time, but sudden injuries are more damaging.
• Adverse neural tension is the set of abnormal physiological and mechanical responses from neural structures when their normal motion amplitude and stretchability are tested, and can produce signs and symptoms of various kinds due to alterations in normal mechanics.
