22. Parkinson’s Disease: Answer Key Introduction 1.Parkinson’s disease is described as what? What is it related to? deterioration of movement 2.List the types of body movement mentioned. opening/closing fingers, lifting arms, walking, moving eyes around, blinking eyes, chewing and swallowing food and then moving food down the esophagus, stomach digesting food, heart pumping 3.Describe the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. delayed response time to stop walking, to sitting down and to getting up from a chair, hands trembling (which is what most of us notice), legs trembling, moving eyes slowly, blinking eyes slowly, drooling, to absolute deterioration where you can’t move at all

23. Body (Causes and Treatments) 1.Describe the process the brain goes through when one wants to move his/her body. There are two parts inside the brain; one part is responsible for producing chemicals to stimulate body functions, one of them being dopamine. The other part “requests” and collects the chemical to provide the brain with the ability to send the chemical so that the body can move (e.g., reach for a cup of coffee). 2.Describe how the process in the brain is affected by Parkinson’s disease. When the request is made (“I want to reach for the cup of coffee”), the part of the brain that manufactures the needed chemical dopamine for the movement is unable to make enough of it, resulting in the person being able to reach to get the cup of coffee only very slowly. 3.Is there a cure? No. 4.What kind of treatment is available? How does the medication work? Take medication called L-Dopa. When taken, it stimulates that part of the brain to continue to make dopamine, so when the other part of the brain makes a “request” there is plenty of dopamine to “reach for the cup of coffee.” If person doesn’t take the medication, then the symptoms reappear.

24. Conclusion 1.What two things are the doctors still researching regarding Parkinson’s disease? a) Doctors are still researching to find out what causes the brain to not make enough dopamine. b)They are also seeking to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
