| PARTS | PHYSIOLOGY | DISORDER | CLINICAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensory receptors | Transduction | Elementary sensory defect | Sensory loss (may cause ataxia), hypesthesia, paresthesia pain. |
| Nerve fibers | Conduction | Sensory/motor defects | Sensory loss/weakness |
| Motor end-plates | Neuromuscular transmission | Simple motor defect | Weakenss, wasting, muscle twitching, cramps, myotonia |
