The Eyes Have It
Duyen presents herself to
her campus health clinic at
a liberal arts college in Ore-
gon with a two-week history
of nausea, low-grade fever,
fatigue, and mild pain in her
right upper abdominal quad-
rant. As a resident assistant
in her dorm, she is aware that
students with similar signs
and symptoms have been di-agnosed with flu for the past
month. She greets the health
care staff with a sheepish grin
and tells them her self-diag-
nosis. The doctor takes one
look at Duyen’s eyes and skin,
and realizes that this is not
another case of influenza.
1. What is the name of the condition that alarms
the doctor?
2. What disease does Duyen have?
3. How might Duyen have been infected?
4. Which DNA virus causes this disease?

Norovirus in the Dorm
Zac, Tran, Roy, and Justin
were not happy roommates;
in fact, things could not be
much worse for the college
friends. Each of the men
had stomach cramps, fever,
chills, muscle aches, extreme
tiredness, nausea, and, most
distressing, horrible diarrhea
and persistent vomiting. They
had been fighting over the
toilet, and whoever wasn’t in
the bathroom often had his
head in a trashcan. None of
the four had left their suite
for two days, being unable to
venture more than a dozen
feet. The friends had never
experienced such an attack of gastroenteritis. Norovirus had
arrived in the dorm.
Norovirus gastroenteritis
afflicts people living in close
quarters: prisoners, nursing home
residents, vacationers on cruise
ships, and students in college
dormitories. People spread the hardy virus on contaminated
hands
and fomites due to poor personal hygiene. Noroviruses are
often
transmitted in contaminated water and can spread in
undercooked
contaminated food.
The four roommates recovered as their bodies eliminated
viruses from their digestive tracts. They also learned the value
of
handwashing, disinfecting bathrooms, and keeping the dorm
room
disinfected.
1. Why is vigorously rubbing the hands with hot water
and
soap for at least 30 seconds necessary to limit the spread
of noroviruses?
2. Alcohol disrupts lipids. Why isn’t hand antiseptic
effective
against noroviruses?
3. How can noroviruses spread via laundromats?

Starting with a Meissner’s corpuscle in the index finger (digit 2) trace the afferent pathway to the brain and then the efferent pathway to the flexor digitorum profundus muscle that enervates the flexion of the index finger. For the afferent pathway be sure to describe the peripheral afferent nerves and the spinal nerve plexus involved. Then describe the three afferent systems, the anterolateral system (ALS), the dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway (DCML), and the somatosensory pathway to the cerebellum of the spinal cord. Which pathway carries the fine touch sensory information from Meissner’s corpuscles up the spinal cord? What is the major afferent processing center in the diencephalon? What is the final destination of the fine touch sensory information in the cerebral cortex? Is this fine touch sensation conscious or unconscious sensation? How does the brain respond to generate a motor or efferent response? For the efferent pathway start with the primary motor cortex in the precentral gyrus. For the efferent pathways be sure to describe the pyramidal and extrapyramidal efferent pathways. Which is involved in fine motor control? What plexus and arm nerve is involved in this motor control of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle? What role does the cerebellum play in the flexion or the index finger?
