Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition in which there is damage to the peripheral nervous system, resulting in loss of sensory or motor function in a particular region of the body. This can occur as a result of nerve trauma or compression. Shingles is a viral infection that affects sensory nerves, causing a painful rash. Dermatome refers to an area of skin that is innervated by a single spinal nerve. Hemisection refers to the partial cutting of the spinal cord. Areflexia refers to the absence of reflexes, which may be a sign of nerve damage, but does not necessarily indicate a regional loss of function.
