Dermatomes area of the skin that is mainly supplied by branches of a single spinal sensory nerve root. These spinal sensory nerves enter the nerve root at the spinal cord, and their branches reach to the periphery of the body. Substance release at the synapse Acetylcholine- Excitatory or inhibitory- alzheimers Norepi- Excitatory or inhibitory- sleep/wake cycle, SYNS transmission Dopa- Excitatory (h1 and h2 receptors) and inhibitory (H3 receptors). parkinson disease Spondylo...

body's process for adapting to high hormone level To adapt to high levels of hormones, some cells have the capacity to decrease the number of receptors for that hormone through the process of down-regulation. Cushing's Syndrome excessive ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) production most commonly caused by an adrenal adenoma or a non-pituitary adenoma as is often seen with lung cancer. Clinical signs and symptoms: weight gain and hyperpigmentation of skin. Lab results that poin...

NR 507 Final Study Guide • Reproductive: o Endometrial cycle (menstrual cycle) and the occurrence of ovulation  During menstruation (menses), the functional layer if endometrium disintegrates and is discharges through the vagina.  Follicular/proliferative phase - GnRH and a balance between activin and inhibin from the granulosa cells contribute to the rise of FSH levels, which stimulates a number of follicles. The pulsatile secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland rescu...

So, this is a full on, badass study guide that incorporates my own study guide, slides from the review offered by Chamberlain, as well as notes about the exam that I inputted after I took the exam. Be forewarned that amongst other students, we were given different exams we think, but a majority of our questions were the same, we felt. I have another document that I am uploading with the questions I was tested on, as well as the quizlets we utilized as practice questions that came VERY handy ...
