Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Quiz: Impacts on the Nervous System

What are the impacts of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's on the nervous system?

• Neuronal degeneration and protein deposits

• Reduced inflammation and immune response

• Increased blood flow and oxygenation

• Enhanced memory and cognitive function

How do Parkinson's and Alzheimer's affect signal transmission in the nervous system?

• Decrease in neurons and neurotransmitters

• Loss of neurons and disruption of neurotransmitters

• No effect on neurons and neurotransmitters

• Increase in neurons and neurotransmitters

What is the impact of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's on neurotransmitter production?

• No impact

• Increase in dopamine and acetylcholine

• Decrease in serotonin and GABA

• Decrease in dopamine and acetylcholine

Discuss the effects of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's on neurons in the nervous system.

• These diseases only affect the structure of neurons, not their function

• Both diseases have no impact on neurons

• Neurons are not affected by Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

• Both diseases can lead to the degeneration of neurons, affecting their structure and function.

Explain the impact of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's on motor functions.

• Both diseases can affect motor functions due to neuron degeneration and neurotransmitter imbalances.

• These diseases have no impact on motor functions

• The impact on motor functions is temporary

• Motor functions are enhanced by these diseases

Discuss the effects of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's on the nervous system and overall health.

• There's no significant effect on overall health due to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

• Parkinson's and Alzheimer's only affect physical health, not mental health.

• Parkinson's and Alzheimer's can lead to cognitive decline, motor dysfunction, and overall health decline.

• Parkinson's and Alzheimer's can actually improve overall health.

What are the current treatments for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's?

• No known treatments

• Physical therapy and lifestyle changes

• Medications, physical therapy, and surgery

• Only surgery can treat these diseases

How do treatments for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's manage symptoms?

• By increasing neuron production in the brain

• By enhancing cognitive functions

• By managing neurotransmitter imbalances and slowing disease progression

• By completely curing the diseases
