What makes up the autonomic Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
nervous system? system
What is the parasympathetic Conserving energy and the body's resources
nervous system responsible for?
What is the sympathetic nervous Catecholamine release - Epinephrine
system responsible for?
Mobilizing energy stores and decreasing release
of insulin
Redistributing blood low - Increasing to muscles
and lungs (flight) and decreasing to
GI/Integumentary
What are the classifications of Focal or diffuse
primary brain injury?
What are focal brain injuries? Specific, grossly observable lesions that occur in
a precise location
What are examples of focal brain Epidural hemorrhage and subdural hemorrhage
injuries?
, What are examples of diffuse brain Hypoxia, meningitis, encephalitis, and damage to
injuries? blood vessels
What can happen with increased Collateral dysfunction such as Diabetes Insipidus
intracranial pressures?
What are characteristics of Paroxysmal hypertension, pounding headache,
autonomic hyperreflexia? blurred vision, sweating above level of lesion
with flushing of skin, nasal congestion, nausea,
piloerection causes by pilomotor spasm, and
bradycardia.
What is the sequence of events Stimulation of the carotid sinus nerve to the
leading to hyperreflexia induced sinoatrial nose
bradycardia?
The intact autonomic nervous system reflexively
responds with arteriolar spasm that increases
blood pressure
Baroreceptors in the cerebral vessels, carotid
sinus, and aorta sense the hypertension and
stimulation the parasympathetic nervous system
The heart rate decreases, but the visceral and
peripheral vessels do not dilate because efferent
impulses cannot pass through the cord
What are the onset of delirium and Delirium - acute and common during
dementia? hospitalization
Dementia - usually insidious and can be acute in
situations such as trauma or stroke
What conditions are associated with UTI, thyroid disorders, hypoxia, hypoglycemia,
delirium? toxicity, fluid-electrolyte imbalance, renal
insufficiency, trauma, multiple medications
