NUR 633- Exam 2 Questions With Correct
Answers
Central |nervous |system |(CNS)
consists |of |the |brain |and |spinal |cord- |has |3 |main |functions; |take |in |sensory |information, |
process |this |info |and |send |out |motor |signals
Peripheral |nervous |system |(PNS)
the |sensory |and |motor |neurons |that |connect |the |central |nervous |system |(CNS) |to |the |rest |of |
the |body.
somatic |nervous |system
the |division |of |the |peripheral |nervous |system |that |controls |the |body's |skeletal |muscles |and |is |
involved |in |voluntary |movement
autonomic |nervous |system
the |part |of |the |peripheral |nervous |system |that |controls |the |glands |and |the |muscles |of |the |
internal |organs |(such |as |the |heart). |Its |sympathetic |division |arouses; |its |parasympathetic |
division |calms. |It |is |involved |in |non-voluntary |activities
How |long |do |brain |cells |continue |to |function |without |oxygen?
10 |seconds
,hindbrain
An |area |of |the |brain |that |coordinates |information |coming |into |and |out |of |the |spinal |cord- |is |
responsible |motor |activity, |posture, |and |autonomic |functions |(respirations/BP). |It |includes |the |
medulla |oblongata, |pons |and |the |cerebellum
midbrain
A |small |part |of |the |brain |above |the |pons |that |integrates |sensory |information |and |relays |it |
upward- |it |is |necessary |for |vision, |hearing |, |pain |and |the |sleep |wake |cycle. |Contains |the |
cerebral |aqueduct.
forebrain
The |largest |and |most |complicated |region |of |the |brain, |including |the |thalamus, |hypothalamus, |
limbic |system, |and |cerebrum.
cerebral |aqueduct
a |narrow |tube |interconnecting |the |third |and |fourth |ventricles |of |the |brain, |that |allows |CSF |to |
pass
cerebrum
The |largest |Area |of |the |brain |responsible |for |all |voluntary |activities |of |the |body
,corpus |calosum
Connects |the |2 |hemispheres |of |the |brain |-its |a |bundle |of |axons
insula
cerebral |lobe |located |deep |within |lateral |sulcus- |it |is |important |for |processing |of |gustatory |and
|sensory |motor |information |as |well |was |risk/reward |behavior, |pain |pathways, |auditory |and |
vestibular |funcitioning.
frontal |lobe
A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |that |has |specialized |areas |for |movement, |abstract |thinking, |
planning, |memory, |and |judgement
central |sulcus
separates |frontal |and |parietal |lobes
medial |frontal |cortex
An |area |of |the |frontal |lobe |that |is |responsible |for |arousal |and |motivation. |If |damaged |it |may |
cause |patients |to |be |apathetic, |inattentive |and |slow |to |respond.
Orbital |frontal |cortex
An |area |in |the |frontal |lobe |that |is |responsible |for |social |behavior
, Broca's |area
An |area |of |the |frontal |lobe |responsible |for |language
parietal |lobe
A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |whose |functions |include |processing |information |about |touch, |
texture, |weight, |visual |spatial |relationships |and |proprioception
temporal |lobe
A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |responsible |for |hearing |and |language, |visual |memory |and |
emotion
right |temporal |lobe
location |of |association |area |that |enables |the |recognition |of |faces- |injury |may |also |cause |loss |
of |ability |to |hear |tone |or |interpret |nonverbal |stimuli
left |temporal |lobe
Location |of |Wernicke's |Area, |language |comprehension
occipital |lobe
A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |that |processes |visual |information- |lesions |in |this |area |can |
cause |blindness
