The fifth leading cause of death, and probably the first leading cause of disabilities, is a neurological condition commonly referred to as a stroke
Overview
The fifth leading cause of death, and probably the first leading cause of disabilities, is a neurological condition commonly referred to as a stroke. Do you know what causes a stroke? How would you explain this to your friend or family member? Can you explain what is going on during a stroke to someone who has no knowledge of medical terminology? This discussion will push you to consider how you might explain muscle function to someone without a medical background.
Instructions
Consider that a friend or family member has come to you and asked how a stroke affects the body’s muscles. Describe the normal function of a muscle and how a stroke affects the muscle. In your response, of at least 300 words, specifically address the following:
Choose the muscle in which you are most interested, and describe its origin, insertion, and main function.
Choose a specific movement of the body such as flexion of the arm. Which muscle is the prime mover? Which muscle is the antagonist, and which is the synergist for that particular movement?
Mention the lobes of the cerebrum and their primary functions.
Mention the meninges and their function and location.
Describe how a stroke affects the function of the muscle about which you just explained. Remember, you are talking to a friend or family member who has NO medical knowledge. You must write in layman's terms.
