An introduction into autonomic nervous function.
The results of many medical measurements are directly or indirectly influenced by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). For example pupil size or heart rate may demonstrate striking moment-to-moment variability. This review intends to elucidate the physiology behind this seemingly unpredictable system. The review is split up into: 1. The peripheral ANS, parallel innervation by the sympathetic and...
متن کاملAssessment of autonomic nervous system function in patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis
Automatic dysfunction may contribute to the hemodynamic disturbances in cirrhosis. Tests of autonomic function were performed in 31 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis and 30 healthy subjects. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to child- Pugh,s classification ( A.B.C). The patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis( child B,C) had significant parasympathetic disturbance ( in the v...
متن کاملAutonomic nervous system function in Huntington's disease.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Huntington's disease (HD) affects autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning. METHODS Twenty patients with HD who had positive genetic test results underwent standardised ANS function tests including sympathetic skin responses (SSRs) of the hands and feet, measurements of heart rate variability (HRV), both during five minutes of resting and deep respiration, a...
متن کاملAltered cardiac autonomic nervous function in depression
BACKGROUND Depression is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Autonomic instability may play a mediating or moderating role in this relationship; however this is not well understood. The objective of this study was to explore cardiac autonomic function and cardiac arrhythmia in depression, the correlation between depression severity and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) related in...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Nervous Systems
If Rudyard Kipling had been a neuroscientist, less whimsical, and interested in teaching neurobiology to undergraduates, he might have written a book similar to Ralph Greenspan's " An Introduction to Nervous Systems " (Greenspan, 2007). This new book reminded me of the " Just So Stories " (Kipling, 1996) I read as a child. Greenspan hooks the reader with interesting animal behavior " stories, "...
