Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Anatomy Correct Answers • 2 Parts of the nervous system
• Central Nervous System (CNS)
- brain and spinal cord
•Peripheral Nervous System
-12 pairs of cranial nerves, 31 pairs of spinal nerves
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- CNS
i. Cerebellum Correct Answers Blend & coordinate motion of
muscles involved in voluntary movement.
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- CNS
,i. Cerebral Cortex Correct Answers • Frontal lobe - personality,
behaviour, emotions I/Q, ability to write words.
• Parietal lobe - sensation, recognize body parts L. vs R.
• Temporal lobe - primary auditory reception center.
• Occipital Lobe - primary visual center and understanding of
written material.
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- CNS
ii. Brain Stem Correct Answers • Midbrain - contains nerve
pathways between hemispheres & medulla. Centre for visual
reflexes, postural reflex.
• Pons - connects medulla oblongata & midbrain, ventral to
cerebellum.
• Medulla Oblongata -continuation of spinal cord in brain
&controls quality of respirations, heart rate, swallowing,
hiccupping and gag and cough reflex.
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- CNS
,ii. Diencephalon: Correct Answers • Thalamus - main relay
station for nervous system and pain threshold.
• Hypothalamus - centre for temperature control, sleep,
pituitary/emotional regulation.
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- PNS
i. Automatic Nervous System: Correct Answers • Parts of NS
that governs the glands, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle eg;
digestive system, respiratory system and skin.
• Sympathetic/parasympathetic.
• Function is to maintain Homeostasis.
Anatomy & Physiology of the Nervous System:
Physiology- PNS Correct Answers • PNS carries messages to
CNS from sensory receptors & from CNS to muscles and
glands.
• Dermatome is an area of skin supplied with afferent nerve
fibers by a single posterior spinal root.
• Spinal nerves are mixed nerves.
, • Reflex Arc - response below level of consciousness where
sensory afferent fibers carry a message through motor efferent
fibers to cause a response in innervated muscle.
Assessing Those with Substance Use Disorder...
Health Assessment Becomes Based on the Following Principles:
Correct Answers •Should be health promotion focused.
•Should take the population's context into account. i.e. low-
income area.
•Should be trauma and violence informed, it should minimize
harm
•Use the 5A's for Integrating Substance Use in HA: Acquire,
Anticipate, Avoid, Analyze & Approach.
•Be non-judgmental and engage in critical self-reflection.
Assessing Those with Substance Use Disorder...
Health Practitioners Should Never Look at the Substance Use as
the Primary Problem: Correct Answers •It is likely a symptom
of violence, trauma, mental health issues or pain management
challenges.
•So now, it must be looked at with a comprehensive health
history.
