Answer the Following Questions for Parts IIV.

Part I:

1. What vital signs or symptoms does Annie exhibit?

Blurred vision& eye strain, hands ache, feeling weak, gasping for air, and weakness & constant fatigue.

2. Can you see any common features in Annie’s signs and symptoms?

Burred vision is the optic nerve within the brain. From there, what caused the difficulty breathing and weakness? Whenever you don’t feel well headaches and fatigue comes to play, so when you work out lactic acid buildup and caused muscle weakness and fatigue.

3. Why is Annie having problems breathing?

The spinal cord is in charge of involuntary functions, so if she has many scleroses this made her brain and spinal cord runs inefficiently.

4. What are the possible reasons for Annie’s condition?

If Annie is having many of the condition that involves the nervous system, this could lead to Multiple Sclerosis.

Part II:

1. What additional vital signs or symptoms does Annie exhibit?

2. From the internet, find a picture that shows the mammalian spinal cord in cross section. Include the url where you found it and a statement of why you feel this is a good example.

3. How could a decline in muscle function contribute to eye strain and blurred vision?

4. What are the possible reasons for Annie’s condition?

Part III:

1. According to the conduction test, was Annie’s nerve function normal?

2. According to Annie’s EMG test, was Annie’s skeletal muscle function normal?

3. Considering your answers to Questions 1 and 2, why did activity in Annie’s motor nerves produce a skeletal muscle response that fatigued during repetitive stimulation?

4. Create a table that replicates Figure 1 and fill it out completely.

5. Now take each stage in turn and discuss how sustained neural activity could create a dysfunction and result in a decrease in muscle response during repetitive...
