4.TUTORIALS4.1. Case 1. Difficulty to move without having muscular strength.
Mrs. Mielina, a 37-year-old woman, having a committal of the family doctor applied for aneurologist for the left arm and leg weakness that suddenly appeared. However, she felt alright till
this moment: did not have a temperature, did not experience any injury. Having the results ofanamneses, it is known that woman had an optical disorder within the right eye two and a half year
ago she saw as if through the mist, however, optical acuity recovered fully in two weeks.Furthermore, the right leg was numb and had weakened at the same time but the symptoms passed
away in few weeks and later on the woman did not consult doctors.
Having a general medical examination done, no changes were found.
Having neurological inspection done, it was determined that perception and orientation were
unchanged, no cephalic nerve function changes found. Muscle strength in the left side of arms and
legs was lesser3-4 points (due to the system of 5 points), when the stretching arms forward the leftone droops down. Tendon and periosteum reflexes are much stronger on the left side rather than on
the right. There is no abdomen and normal right foot metatarsus reflex. Both arms have pathological
flexor reflexes; however, the left leg has pathological Babinski reflex. Superficial and deep senses
are weak on the left side of the body. Performance of coordination samples: coordination of finger-
nose and heel-knee is well done. She can walk 500 metres on her own though the left leg gets tired,
she walks with a limp. Urinates and evacuates normally.
Performed analysis:
Oculist examination: optical acuity 1.0 within both eyes, visual nerve discs were of pink colour,
with clear margins in the fundus of eyeballs.
Neurophysiologic analysis: Acoustic induced potentials examination: aural lateral loop capacity
is not disordered. Optical induced potentials examination: optical lateral loop capacity is notdisordered.
MRI: in both cerebral hemispheres periventricular white matter, in the corpus callosum there areapparent several, small, having oval form small, hyperintense foci on T2W/FLAIR images. Several
similar focuses are apparent in the mesencephalon and pons basis and in tegmentum part. Changesare typical to demyelinization case.

On what purpose was the examination of optical and aural induced potentials performed?
What pathomorphological cerebrum tissue variation could determine MRI findings?
How can one explain whether to associate MRI findings in the brain stem within the disorders of
an arm, leg and abdomen reflexes and senses?Does the left side leg weakness and melting as well as optical disorder two years ago relate to
the present Mielinas ailment?
Concept of the problem: structural and functional mechanisms of the neurons and neuroglia
interaction as well as their disorder consequences.
Clinical symptoms: repeated muscle strength weakness for a young woman, temporal optical
disorder.
Objective
To obtain knowledge and know how to apply it while analysing neuroglia significance and
myelinisation and demyelinisation processes, biochemical structure peculiarities of myelin sheath,
the significance of the morphological structure for nerve fibre conduction. With reference to the
pathomorphological peculiarities of this disease, a student has to know how to explain and annotate
clinical studies purposes, their findings, the relation of disease progress peculiarities within the
demyelinisation and myelinisation processes and neurological symptomatics connection within the
pathological focuses localisation.

4.2. Case 2. Healthy people do not fall out of bed.A 56-year-old Mr. Kraujalis liked to confine himself to a regular daily routine. Every morning he
used to get up at 6 oclock, to have breakfast with family at 6:45 and then go to work. OneWednesday morning this daily routine was disturbed he did not get up at 7 oclock. Mr. Kraujalishad myocardial infarction 5 years ago and was operated the coronary revascularisation performed.After myocardial infarction the man had a heart rhythm disorder, therefore, he constantly took
Digoxin and Orpharin. Having fear of another heart attack, family members went to see why
Kraujalis did not get up. They found him fallen out of bed, unable to move his left hand and leg. He
had diplopia, felt the left side of the body melting. A careful glance to his face told about the rightcheek side being set. Family members called for an ambulance immediately and took Mr. Kraujalis
to an emergency room.Duty doctor that worked at the emergency room called a neurologist for an immediate
consultation. A medical examination was performed on Kraujalis in the emergency room until theneurologist came:
Electrocardiogram: atrial fibrillation, tachisistolic form. Scar changes in myocardium heartanteroseptal part.
Extracranial neck arterial echoscopy: lumens of carotid arteries are within the norm, in the leftcarotid artery cerebral part there is an atherosclerotic plate, narrowing the lumen to 50% but which is
insignificant hemodynamically.
The consultant performed neurological analysis, concisely drew up the analysis results and thepatient was told to do a CT of brain.
Neurological screening findings: conscious, able to orient, able to understand and execute
commands, speaks intelligibly, symmetric pupils, does not pull the right eye to the lateral side, have
diplopia when takes a look to the right, does not contract the right forehead, closes the right eye
incompletely, the wright nose-lips corner is set, tongue in the middle line as well, other cranial nerve
function is not disordered, determines superficial and deep sense disorders on the left side of the
body, does not move the left arm and leg, tendons reflexes on the left side strengthened, muscle
tonicity was increased in the left limbs, pathological flexor reflex in the left arm, pathological
extensor symptom in the left leg, no meningitis symptoms found, pelvic organ functions are not
disordered.

performed by the neurologist?
What are the mechanisms of the examined reflexes?
What neurophysiologic mechanisms do determine tendons reflexes and muscle tonicity changes?
After half an hour computer-based tomography findings were received. The neurologist looked
through the photos carefully and just took a glance to the description. Well, lets take him to thehospital unit - he said and put an appropriate record down to the case-record. Arranging thedocumentary of the patient taken to the neurologic unit, the emergency room doctor read the record
of a radiologist.CT: on the right cerebral pedunculi, pons and the right cerebellar hemisphere there is a
hypodense zone, with a slight perifocal oedema, the fourth ventricle is narrower, however, the
system of lateral ventricles is not dislocated.
What affection could cause such CT changes?
What functions can this violation disorder?
Referring to CT, give neuroanatomic basis on motor disorders on the right side of the patient face
and on the left side limbs.
Concept of the problem: structural and functional mechanisms of the spinal cord and brain stem
reflex and motor function, their disorder correlation with brain stem blood supply pathology.
Clinical symptoms: the peculiarities of disease anamnesis, neurological features of motor
disorders, findings of CT analysis.

4.3. Case 3. Walking disorder.A 53-year-old Parkinnas having a committal of the family doctor applied for a neurologist for
the left shoulder joint pain, movement limitation and the disorder of left leg movement he feels theleft leg constraint and quicker tiredness while walking. All these ailments have troubled him for
around half a year. He took anaesthetics, muscle relaxing medicine but did not notice improvement.He as well noted that he has to walk more carefully, he can not stop when starting to move, falls
forward and can not change movement direction quickly.
Doctor neurologist examined Parkinnas:Neurological examination findings: orientated, critical, hypomimic face expression, symmetric
pupils, eye movements to either side are not disordered, symmetric face, the tongue in the middle
line. Rigid muscle tonicity is increased in the left hand, movement softness and threading gearphenomenon while flexing elbow joint, moderation of the left leg movement amplitude and softness
while walking, threading gear phenomenon is noticed while flexing tarsus joint. The manner ofpatient walking is different as he now walks in small steps. No other changes are noticed.
Performed analysis:
General analysis of blood: without pathological changes. Rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein
and ESR (the erythrocyte sedimentation rate) are within the norm.
CT: clear foci changes of brain density were not noticed; a slight increase of brain ventricles and
subarachnoidal space enlargement.
MRI: bilaterally in frontotemporal white matter there are some hyperintense non-specific
lesions. Diminution of black matter layer is seen in the mesencephalon.
Why does the walking of Parkinnas got disordered, why does he fall? What does the performed radiological analysis determine? What is the correlation between the
changes of determined analysis and the health disorders of Parkinnas? What are the principles of treatment of these disorders?
Concept of the problem: Higher motor centres participating in movement control, structural and
functional mechanisms and the consequences of their activity disorder.Clinical symptoms: slow disease progress, hypomimic face, constraint of limbs, slow motions,
gait changes, echoscopy, findings of CT and MRI.
AIM
To obtain knowledge about structural and functional organization of somatomotor system higher
centres (motor and premotor cortex, basal ganglia, subthalamus, cerebellum) and know how to apply
while analysing the reason of Parkinnas disease, its neurological symptomatics, MRI findings andtreatment principles.
Learning objectives and content
Completed with the problem analysis, a student must know:
Structure of the cerebellar cortex; Cyto- and myeloarchitectonics of the cerebral cortex; Histophysiological peculiarities of substantia nigra of mesencephalon.

Mr. Stresunas, a 32-year-old head manager of a middle-sized trade network, applied to health
care centre for impairment of general health state, insomnia, heartbeat and anxiety attacks.
After a consultation with his doctor the fact appeared that the mentioned symptoms have
bothered him for about 2-3 months, however, he did not pay attention to that due to his great
occupation. The patient also mentioned frequent headaches and disordered activity of the digestive
tract: lack of appetite, frequent constipations, heartburn, pain in the upper part of abdomen appearing
after having not eaten food for a long time or in the morning. The patient does not smoke, consumes
alcohol rarely and his ailments connect to job matter. He has been managing to a high-level project
during last 6 months. He often has to take complex decisions, to go on business trips and work
overtime.
During medical screening of the patient, there were eruptions of herpes type noticed on the lip
corners. Palpating the abdomen, the pain appeared in the upper part. HB (rate of heartbeat)85 bpm,ABP (arterial blood pressure)160/100 mmHg.

4.5. Case 5. The concern of the teacher.Mrs. altyt works as a teacher in a gymnasium. Constant feelings of weakness and energy lackhave bothered her for a long time. Often these feelings are followed by an unpleasant sense of cold
which becomes unbearable sometimes and forces her to dress up in warmer clothes than usually. She
slept for 8 hours; no difficulties in falling asleep were noticed. Constipations bothered her sheevacuates no more than 1-2 times a week. Work with schoolchildren is not easy and I am already 48years old, - she used to think and never took her ailment more ser iously. However, Mrs. altyt feltanxious when she found it hard to concentrate, her memory failed, she could not perform work on
time as usual and finally her professional reputation got worse. Furthermore, she noticed that she had
gained 8 kg during the last 6 months, though her appetite and ration had not changed. Eventually, shemade time and visited the family doctor.
The doctor noted that Mrs. altyt seemed sad, apathetic and her voice was deep-chested and of
low tone. The doctor examined the patient and paid attention to her tumid face, his coarsenedfeatures. Her skin had pale yellowish skin colour. It was cold, dry, reminded of dough consistencywhile touching. Stiffening of deep tissues is found in the region of the neck and throat. Body
temperature35.8 0 C, the rate of heartbeat (HR) 50 bpm, arterial blood pressure (BP) 130/80mmHg.
Why could these health disorders appear? What functions of organs or organ system did get
disturbed?
Thinking of thyroid activity disorder, the doctor told to do blood analysis. Its results:General analysis of blood is without changes.

nervous system components histological structureDepartment of Histology and Embryology
While analysing the microscopic preparations, a student must know the features of the spinal
cord, the brain stem, the cortex of cerebellum, the diencephalon and the cortex of telencephalon,
ganglions and peripheral nerve histological structure.
Description of slides
1. Neural tube, tubus neuralis and brain vesicles, vesiculae cerebrales (H-E). N. 1A. In the
transversal section of the embryo, find and note the canal of the neural tube. Pay your attention to the
thickness of the neural tube wall and location of the cells. Draw three layers of the cells in the neural
tube wall: inner or ependyma, middle layer with neuroblasts and outer layer.
During the fourth week, the neural folds expand and fuse to form three primary brain vesicles: the
forebrain, or prosencephalon, the midbrain, or mesencephalon and the hindbrain, or
rhombencephalon. During the fifth week, the telecephalon, and hindbrain partly divides into themetencephalon and myelencephalon. As a result, there are five secondary brain vesicles.
By means of a small objective lens in the transversal section of the embryo, find and draw three
primary of five secondary brain vesicles.
2. Spinal ganglion, ganglion spinale (azanas arba H-E).N. 2A, 98. By means of a small objective
lens find and draw the connective tissue capsule which covers the ganglion in the transversal sectionof the spinal ganglion. Neurons of the sensory ganglia are seen to be large and arranged in groups at
the periphery of the ganglion. The groups of cells are separated by groups of myelinated nerve fibers.Fibers are mostly located in the center of the ganglion. By means of a large objective lens find
pseudounipolar neurons with large, bright nuclei. Each neuron body is surrounded by glial cells
(satellite cells). It is necessary to separate glial cells with round nuclei and the cells of the connectivetissue capsule (with oval nuclei).
3. Spinal cord,medulla spinalis (impregnation). N. 95. By means of a small objective lens find thecentral canal of the spinal cord, gray and white matter (it looks as a butterfly) in the transversalsection of spinal cord. Find the anterior (broader and shorter) and posterior horns. In the thoracic and
the first two or three lumbar segments of the cord, a lateral horn of gray matter is also to be seen on
each side of the cord. Note posterior lateral and anterior funiculi of the white matter. By means of a
large objective lens find elements of gray and white matter: neurons and glial cells. Pay attention to
the neurons in anterior, posterior and lateral horns. Note the zona spongiosa, substantia gelatinosa
and formatio reticularis in the posterior horns.
4. Cross section of the nerve, nervus (Azan). N. 99. Draw the whole view of the nerve. Find the
sheths of the nerve: the sheath of connective tissue which surrounds the one nerve fibre is called endoneurium, the fibres surrounds the perineurium and the whole nerve is surround by epineurium.

5. Parasympathetic ganglion, ganglion autonomicum (H-E). N. 3A. By means of a small objective
lens find muscle layers in the wall of the small intestine. Find the autonomic ganglion between the
inner circular and outer longitudinal layer. Cells of the parasympathetic ganglion are brighter than
muscle cells.
6. Cerebellar cortex, cortex cerebellaris (impregnation). N. 96. By means of a small objective lensfind a superficial layer of gray matter (cortex) and the core of white matter. Draw three layers of thegray matter of the cerebellar cortex. From the surface the layers are: 1) an outer molecular layer, 2) a
central layer of Purkinje cells and 3) an inner granular layer. Pay attention to the Purkinje cells.They are quite large and their dendrites divide repeatedly in one plane, forming a sort of fan.
7. Cerebral cortex, cortex cerebralis (impregnation). N. 4A or 5A. The cerebrum, like cerebellum,
also the surface has a cortex of gray matter and a central area of white matter. Draw six layers of the
cerebral cortex. From the layers are: 1) the molecular layer consisting largely of fibers, most of
which travel parallel to the surface, and relatively few cells, 2) the outergranular layerconsisting
mainly of small cells, 3) the outer layer of pyramidal cells consisting only of a typical pyramidal
shape, 4) the inner granular layercharacterized by the presence of many small stellate cells (granule

6.2. Histological structure of the endocrine glands and skin
Department of Histology and Embryology
While studying the microscopic preparations, a student must know the features of histologicalstructure of the hypophysis, thyroid, parathyroid glands and skin.
Description of slides
1. Hypothysis, hypophysis (Aazan). N. 21A. By means of a small objective lens findadenohypophysis, neurohypophysis and pars intermedia. Find the capsule of the hypophysis and
septa of the loose connective tissue. In adenohypophysis by means of a small objective lens find the
following cells:
1) Chromophobe cells. These cells are small, their cytoplasm stains slightly.
2) Chromophilic cells. Chromophilic cells are larger than chromophobe cells, their cytoplasm stains
intensively. There are 2 kinds of the chromophilic cells: acidophils and basophils. The cytoplasm of
the acidophilic cells is granular, it stains with acid dyes (it stains pink with eosin). The cytoplasm of

the basophilic cells stains with basic dyes (it stains blue with hematoxylin ). Basophilic cells are
most frequent in the posterior and medial parts of the adenohypophysis.
PARS INTERMEDIA is located between the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. You can find a
thin layer of cells in the pars intermedia.
NEUROHYPOPHYSIS consists of glial cells, pituicytes and nerve fibers. Pituicytes are highly
branched cells. Between them you can see endothelial cells of capillaries.
2. Epiphysis cerebri (pineal gland), epiphysis cerebri, (H-E). 22 A. By means of small objective
find the pia mater that covers the surface of epiphysis and septa that extend into the gland and forme
the lobules. By means of large objective within the lobule find pinealocytes chief cells of the gland.
The cells are big with large nucleus in cytoplasm contain lipid droplets. At the periphery of the
lobule find smaller cells with oval compact nuclei glial cells. In addition to these parenchymal and
glial cells, in the human pineal gland you can find calcified concretions, called brain sand or corpora
arenacea.
3. Thyroid gland, glandula thyreoidea (HBp). 23 A. By means of a small objective lens find
connective tissue capsule and septa of loose connective tissue capsule. Find follicles of the gland.
Walls of the follicles are composed of the follicular cells. Lumen of the follicle contains colloid (a
gelatinous substance). Another type of cells, the parafollicular cells, are found as part of the follicular
epitheliumIn the connective tissue between follicles there is a great number of capillaries.
4. Parathyroid gland, glandula parathyroidea (HBp). N. 24 A. By means of a small
objective lens find the capsule of the loose connective tissue. The perenchyma of the parathyroid
gland consists of 2 types of cells: the chief cells and the oxyphil cells. Chief cells are small,
polygonal with a vesicular nucleus and a pale staining, slightly acidophilic cytoplasm. They contain
secretory granules, which secrete parathyroid hormone. Oxyphil cells are polygonal also, but larger
than chief cells, nuclei are smaller and stain more densely. The cytoplasm of these cells contains
acidophilic granules. The function of the oxyphil cell is uncertain.
5. Adrenal gland,glandula suprarenalis (Azan or H-E).N. 24 A, 25 A. By means of a small
objective lens find the capsule of dense connective tissue. Find the cortical and medullar parts of the
adrenal gland. Adrenal cortex can be subdivided into 3 concentric layers: the zona glomerulosa, zona
fasciculata and the zona reticularis. Beneath the capsule is the zona glamerulosa in which the cells
are arranged in rounded or arched clusters surrounded by capillaries. In zona fasciculata the cells are
arranged in straight cords 1 and 2 cells thick. The cells are polyhedral with a great number of lipid
droplets in their cytoplasm. The zona reticularis contains cells arranged in irregular cords that form
an anastomosing network. The adrenal medulla is composed of polyhedral parenchymal cells
-

arranged in cords or clumps and supported by a reticular fiber network. Between cells there is a great
number of capillaries.
6. Skin of the palm, cutis (H-Kernechtrot). N. 21. By means of a small objective lens find
epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. By means of a larger objective lens find and draw layers of the
epidermis: stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum and stratum
corneum.
The junction between the dermis and epidermis is an uneven boundary. Dermis consists of
two layers: papillary and reticular. The papillary layer is constituted of numerous finger like
connective tissue protrusions into the dermis. The papillary layer consists of loose connective tissue.
It is located immediately under the epidermis and is separated from it by the basal lamina. The
reticular layer is deep to the papillary layer and consists of dense connective tissue. It considerably
thicker than the papillary layer. Hypodermis contains a variable amount of adipose tissue. In the
dermal papillae you can find Meissners corpuscles (they are touch receptors) and in deeper dermis
and hypodermisPacinian corpuscles (they are composed of a myelinated nerve ending surrounded
by a capsule and they respond to pressure and vibration).
6. Skin of the head, cutis (HBp/H-E). N. 23. By means of a small objective lens find layers
of the skin. Stratum corneum is much thinner, papillary layer is thin, reticular thick. Find
longitudinal sections of hair follicles in the dermis and hypodermis. The outermost part of the hair
follicles is a downgrowth of the epidermis external root sheeth, at deepest point there is
invagination of the connective tissue papilla. External root sheet is several cells thick, other cells
are called the matrix. Internal root sheet is a multilayered cellular covering that surrounds the deep
part of the hair. The hair consists of the medulla, cortex and cuticle. Near hair follicle find sebaceous
glands, musculus errector pili and sweat glands.
