Neuron To Nerve
Nerve: Collection of axons outside the CNS
Nerve: Bundle of axons in the Peripheral Nervous System
Resting Membrane Potential Of A Neuron is - 70 mv
Action Potential Across A Neuron
RMP changes from - 70 mv to + 40 mv
Types Of Synapses
Conduction Velocity Of Nerve Fibres
Nerve Injury
Conduction Velocity across a nerve lost in varying degrees of nerve injury
Nerve injuries are classified as
Seddon classification of Nerve Injuries
Neurotomesis: No recovery potential of a nerve possible
e.g. Peroneal Nerve Neurotomesis = Foot Drop
