Extracerebral vessels‚ located at the base and surface of the brain‚ are innervated by perivascular nerves originating from the superior cervical ganglion‚ responsible for the sympathetic innervation‚ the sphenopalatine and otic ganglia‚ mainly supplying parasympathetic nerves‚ as well as the trigeminal ganglion [59]. This extrinsic innervation is lost‚ when perforating arteries enter the brain. These parenchymal arterioles have unique properties compared to the microvasculature found in other organs;

Stimulus-Dependent Lab A motor unit is a motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls. A whole muscle is made up of hundreds of motor units that are handled by different motor neurons that react at different levels of stimulation. The electric shock acts as an action potential by changing the membrane permeability allowing the sodium and potassium ions to pass through. At different levels of stimulation the motor neurons stimulate a motor unit and the more stimulation the more motor units become

Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) The anatomy of the optic nerve sheath : The intraorbital section of the optic nerve extends from the globe‚ where it inserts medially‚ to the optic canal located in the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. It is encased by a meningeal sheath consisting of dura mater‚ arachnoid mater and pia mater. Cerebrospinal fluid is contained in the trabeculated subarachnoid space and is continuously and slowly filtered. As a result the optic nerve sheath is in direct
