A 23 year old male patient demonstrating severe face and muscle spasms was…

- - - - Can spread to the neck and throat causing breathing problems
    - - Typically starts with the chewing muscles
- - - - Central Nervous System
        
        Brain
        
        Cerebellum
        
        This gives us balance and coordination
        
        Cerebrum
        
        Makes us human. Ex. Thinking and Personality
        
        Spinal cord
        
        This is the pathway for messages
        
        Brain stem
        
        Life Sustaining functions
      - Neurons
        
        Takes in, processes, and transmits information
        
        Sensory neurons
        
        collect information from receptors
        
        Interneurons
        
        process information and predict the right response
        
        Motor neurons
        
        send directions for the right response
      - Peripheral Nervous System
        
        Connects the CNS to organs, limbs, and skin through nerves
      - Neurotransmitters
        
        Excitatory
        
        Tells the neuron to depolarize
        
        Inhibitory
        
        Tells the neuron to hyper polarize
    - - Skeletal Muscle
        
        Maintain posture
        
        Stabilize bones and joints
        
        Control internal movement
        
        Generate heat
    - - This is the additive of the electrical impulses on a neuromuscular junction. This determines if it should depolarize or not. Ex. Excitatory and Inhibitory neurotransmitters sending messages to try and tell the neuron to depolarize or not
    - - This is the communication between the nervous system and the muscular system. Ex. motor neurons releasing the message for ACh to open channels
    - - Tetanolysin
        
        Causes local tissue destruction
      - Tetanospasmin
        
        Leads to painful muscle contractions
      - Blocks the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters
  - - - Central nervous system
