Muscle relaxant Muscle relaxant In medicine, a muscle relaxant is a drug that causes skeletal muscle contraction to cease. Muscle relaxants are used to facilitate surgery, to enable tracheal intubation and to facilitate mechanical ventilation. Muscles relaxants typically work by blocking the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) at the neuromuscular junction. Table of contents Sources: Pheeds [R=1,P=105],

Intubation into the trachea. Tracheal intubation is performed in various medical conditions: in comatose or intoxicated patients who are unable to protect their airways. In such patients, the throat muscles may lose their tone so that the upper airways collapse and air can not pass to the lungs. Furthermore, protective airway reflexes such as coughing and swallowing, which serve to protect the lower airways against aspiration of secretions and foreign bodies, may be absent. With tracheal intubation, airway patency is restored and the lower airways can be protected from aspiration. in general anesthesia. In anesthetized patients spontaneous respiration may be decreased or Sources: Pheeds [R=2,P=52],

Electroconvulsive therapy typically used to treat bipolar disorder and severe depression in cases where talk therapy and drug treatment have proven ineffective. At one time, it was also used for the treatment of schizophrenia, but is now generally regarded as ineffective for that purpose. Overview During ECT, a grand mal seizure is induced in a patient by passing an electrical current through the brain. Current flow is usually from temple to temple, though sometimes electroshock may be applied to only one hemisphere of the brain. The resultant seizure is characterized as being more severe than a naturally occurring epileptic seizure. The patient loses Sources: Pheeds [R=3,P=35],

Succinylcholine chloride Succinylcholine chloride Succinylcholine chloride (also known as Suxamethonium, or Scoline) is a white crystalline substance, it is odourless and highly soluble in water. Chemically its structural name is 2,2'-[(1,4-dioxo-1,4-butanediyl)bis(oxy)]bis[N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium] dichloride. The compound is sold under the trademarked name of Anectine and is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. Succinylcholine acts as a depolarizing muscle relaxant. It imitates the action of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, but is not as readily degraded by acetylcholine esterase. The prolonged stimulation of the acetylcholine receptor results first in disorganized muscle contractions, then in profound relaxation. Sources: Pheeds [R=4,P=26],

Post-polio syndrome Post-polio syndrome Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that can strike polio survivors anywhere from 10 to 40 years after their recovery from polio. PPS is believed to be caused by the death of individual nerve terminals in the motor units that remain after the initial polio attack. Symptoms include fatigue, slowly progressive muscle weakness, muscle and joint pain, and muscular atrophy. The severity of PPS depends only weakly upon how seriously the survivors were affected by the first polio attack. Doctors estimate the incidence of PPS at about 25 Sources: Pheeds [R=5,P=21],

Mechanical ventilation to assist, or in some cases replace, spontaneous breathing. Mechanical ventilation can be life-saving and is a mainstay of resuscitation, intensive care medicine, and anesthesia.

Ischiocavernosus muscle Ischiocavernosus muscle The Ischiocavernosus muscle is a muscle just below the surface of the perineum, present in both men and women. It helps flex the anus, and (in males) stablize the erect penis or (in females) tense the vagina. Kegel exercises (also known as pelvic floor exercises) can help tone the ischiocavernosus Sources: Pheeds [R=7,P=15],

Flexor digitorum profundus muscle Flexor digitorum profundus muscle The flexor digitorum profundis is a muscle in the forearm that flexes the fingers. It is called an extrinsic muscle, because it action is at a different location to the main body of the muscle.

Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle Flexor digitorum superficialis muscle Flexor digitorum superficialis is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers. The bulk of the muscle is in the anterior of the forearm. Like most flexors of the arm, it is supplied by the median nerve. It's blood comes from the ulnar artery. The proximal attachment includes the median epicondyle Sources: Pheeds [R=9,P=11],

Flexor carpi radialis muscle Flexor carpi radialis muscle In anatomy, flexor carpi radialis is a muscle of the human forearm that acts to flex and abduct the hand. This muscle starts at the medial epicondyle of the humerus (as does flexor carpi ulnaris) and attaches to the anterior side of the base of the 2nd metacarpal. It runs Sources: Pheeds [R=10,P=10],

Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle Extensor carpi radialis longus is one of the five main muscles that control movement at the wrist. As the name suggests, this muscle is an extensor at the wrist joint, and travels along the radial side of the arm, so will also abduct the hand at the wrist. This muscle Sources: Pheeds [R=11,P=9],

Dartos muscle Dartos muscle e53 The dartos muscle is a muscle inside the scrotum (the only one). It acts to regulate the temperature of the testicles in order to promote spermatogenesis. It does so by expanding or contracting the scrotum. Contraction reduces the surface area of the scrotum, thus reducing heat loss and thus warming Sources: Pheeds [R=15,P=7],
