Reflexes are involuntary responses mediated by the reflex arc in the central nervous system. There are different anatomical and clinical classifications of reflexes depending on the segments and pathways involved, and the number of synapses that can be either monosynaptic or polysynaptic. Reflexes also have conditional or unconditional responses and affect somatic or visceral functions typically as flexor or extensor responses.

autonomic nervous system Ppt
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary body functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiration. It is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
The sympathetic division is responsible for the "fight or flight" response and mobilizes the body during emergencies. It activates processes like increased heart rate. The parasympathetic division is responsible for "rest and digest" processes and activates functions like digestion when the body is at rest.
Both divisions use a two-neuron pathway consisting of a preganglionic neuron with a cell body in the CNS and a postganglionic neuron with a cell body in a peripheral ganglion. They differ in the locations of their pregangl
Lecture 5 ans
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates involuntary body functions like heart rate and digestion. It is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic division prepares the body for emergency situations through fight or flight responses. The parasympathetic division regulates restorative processes like digestion. Autonomic reflexes occur through reflex arcs involving sensory receptors, neurons in the central nervous system, and autonomic motor neurons to effectors like the heart and gut. The hypothalamus is a major control center that regulates the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.

Accuracy and competency requirements are also outlined.
11 feb lect. reflexes, Ashok Solanki, asso. prof physio,
This document discusses reflexes and the reflex arc. It defines a reflex arc as the anatomical nervous pathway of a reflex, consisting of 5 components: receptor, sensory neuron, integration center, motor neuron, and effector. It describes stretch reflexes, including the dynamic stretch reflex activated by changes in muscle length and the static stretch reflex maintaining constant muscle tone. Various types of reflexes are classified, including superficial, deep, and visceral reflexes. Clinical uses of assessing reflexes are also discussed.
Memb potential.sept 13. 1 st
The document discusses action potentials and how neurons conduct impulses. It explains that action potentials are rapid changes in membrane potential that allow neurons and muscles to communicate. Action potentials are initiated when stimuli open sodium channels, allowing sodium to rush into the cell and depolarize the membrane. Potassium channels then open, repolarizing the membrane back to its resting potential. This process allows impulses to propagate down axons via changes in membrane potential driven by ion fluxes.
14 respiratory phys
The document provides an overview of human respiratory physiology. It discusses the mechanics of breathing including pressure relationships and factors that influence lung movement. It describes the processes of inspiration and expiration, how gas exchange occurs in the lungs and blood, and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Key concepts covered include lung volumes and capacities, chemical regulation of breathing, and effects of exercise and altitude on respiration. Disease states like COPD and lung cancer are also summarized.
Anaemia
Anemia of chronic disease and chronic kidney disease can have several underlying mechanisms. Hepcidin regulates iron availability and contributes to decreased red blood cell production in chronic inflammatory states. Cytokines like interleukin and tumor necrosis factor can destroy red blood cell precursors. In chronic kidney disease, there is a primary deficiency of erythropoietin production by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidneys, leading to anemia related to residual renal function. Anemia is common in later stages of chronic kidney disease and prevalence increases with age. Evaluation of anemia includes symptoms, physical exam, blood tests of red blood cell indices, peripheral smear, reticulocyte count, and potentially bone marrow biopsy.
Diuretics, disorders.22.04.13
Acute renal failure is the sudden loss of kidney function resulting in the buildup of waste products and fluid dysregulation in the body. It occurs in three phases: oliguric, diuretic, and recovery. Causes include prerenal issues interfering with blood flow, intrarenal kidney tissue damage, and postrenal urinary tract blockage. Chronic renal failure is the gradual and progressive loss of kidney function over time that eventually results in permanent kidney damage and requires dialysis or transplant to survive. It is characterized by the slow destruction of nephrons and decreased glomerular filtration rate.

Counter current mechanism
The countercurrent mechanism in the kidney produces a hyperosmotic renal medullary interstitium through three key processes: 1) the countercurrent multiplier effect of the thick ascending loop of Henle which repetitively reabsorbs sodium chloride, 2) active transport of ions from the collecting ducts into the medullary interstitium, and 3) facilitated diffusion of urea from the inner medullary collecting ducts into the medullary interstitium. This hyperosmotic interstitium is maintained by the countercurrent exchange function of the vasa recta blood vessels.

The three basic renal processes are:
1) Glomerular filtration filters blood in the kidneys into tubules forming primitive urine.
2) Tubular reabsorption reabsorbs necessary substances like water and sodium back into the blood from the tubules.
3) Tubular secretion secretes substances to be eliminated like protons and potassium from the blood into the tubules.
3 nerve ppt. 20.09.12.ans.
The document provides an overview of nerve physiology, including:
1) It describes the basic structure and function of neurons, how they transmit signals via graded potentials and action potentials, and how this allows for fast signaling in the nervous system.
2) It explains how action potentials are generated via voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels, and how they propagate along axons through continued stimulation of these channels.
3) It discusses how myelination aids in faster signal transmission and the roles of supporting cells like oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells in myelinating axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Lect4. gfr.22.02.13
1. The document discusses the mechanisms of glomerular filtration and factors that can affect it. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the rate of fluid filtered from the blood into the kidney glomeruli.
2. Inulin clearance is used to measure GFR because inulin is filtered by the glomeruli but not reabsorbed or secreted by the kidneys, so its clearance directly reflects GFR.
3. Several structures are involved in glomerular filtration, including the glomerular capillaries, Bowman's capsule, and the cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus that help regulate GFR and renin secretion.
Gfr factors. 17.02.13.
The document discusses renal handling of substances and factors that affect glomerular filtration rate (GFR). It describes how substances are filtered through the glomerular capillaries and pass through the basement membrane into Bowman's capsule. GFR is determined by the glomerular filtration coefficient and net filtration pressure, which is influenced by hydrostatic and oncotic pressures across the glomerular membrane. Autoregulation mechanisms and tubuloglomerular feedback help regulate GFR in response to changes in arterial pressure or fluid delivery to the macula densa.
Kidney function and nephrons
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney that filters blood to form urine. Glomerular filtration occurs when blood plasma filters through the glomerulus into the nephron tubules. Reabsorption and tubular secretion then alter the filtrate's composition as it travels through the tubules. Reabsorption moves substances like water, ions, and glucose from the filtrate back into blood to concentrate the urine. Tubular secretion actively transports substances like hydrogen ions and potassium into the filtrate. Together these processes determine the final volume, concentration and composition of urine to regulate blood chemistry and remove waste.
11.3 kidney
The document summarizes key aspects of kidney function and structure. It defines excretion as the removal of waste from the body, like nitrogenous wastes from protein digestion. The kidney filters blood and reabsorbs necessary substances while excreting waste in urine. The kidney contains nephrons which filter blood in the glomerulus and reabsorb most water and nutrients back into blood along various portions of the nephron tubules. The loop of Henle and collecting duct help concentrate urine by establishing salt gradients. Urine composition differs from the original glomerular filtrate due to selective reabsorption of useful substances in the kidney.
