Anatomy and Physiology Introduction Assignment
Question 1: Describe the normal physiology (function) of a neuron, supporting structures, and the propagation of an action potential.
Question 2: Describe how and why Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) would affect the propagation of an action potential. Describe the types of nerves involved in this condition and how their dysfunction leads to symptoms such as weakness and numbness.
Question 3. Describe the physiological difference between cerebellar ataxia and sensory ataxia, and identify which type of ataxia is more likely to be present in CIDP patients.
