nervio atrapado
26
twitch
contracción espasmódica
27
nerve damage
daño al nervio, daño neural
28
CVA/stroke
cerebro-vascular accident. causes: blot clot obstructing blood supply leading to part of brain; bleed in brain. Without oxygen, affected part of brain will stop functioning or function less well.
29
Motor Neuron Disease MND
Degen of nerve cells leads to progressive muscle wasting. Includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease
30
Muscular Dystrophy MD
Grp of inherited disorders of motor syst leads to worsening muscle wkness & loss
31
Myasthenia gravis
Autoimmune disorder affecting motor system. Antibodies attack junction betw nerves & muscles, nerve signal not transfered to muscles.
32
Parkinson's disease
degeneration of the part of the brain which leads to lower levels of dopamine, which consequently means that nerve signals cannot be transmitted properly
