CHARACTERISTICS and TREATMENT OF COMMON SENSORY DISORDERS

Presentation transcript:

 The skin and sense organs receive messages (touch sensations, light waves, sound waves) from the environment and send them to the brain via nerves.  These messages are interpreted in the brain, making sight, hearing, and perception of the environment possible.

Alopecia means loss of hair from the head or body.

 is swelling (inflammation) or infection of the membrane lining the eyelids (conjunctiva).

 A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally clear lens of the eye.

 Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that lead to damage to the optic nerve, the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain.  In many cases, damage to the optic nerve is due to increased pressure in the eye, also known as intraocular pressure (IOP).

 Nevus is the medical term for sharply- circumscribed and chronic lesions of the skin. These lesions are commonly named birthmarks and moles.

 A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple.

 Hypermetropia: In a hypermetropic eye, the light is not bent sufficiently so that it focuses at a point behind the retina. Here a person sees well for distance but near vision is difficult and causes strain. Hence hypermetropic people are called long- sighted.

 Myopia: Nearsightedness, or myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred.  Presbyopia: is a condition in which the lens of the eye loses its ability to focus, making it difficult to see objects up close.
