1.Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest -✓✓Review: the parasympathetic
system is all about what?
Parasympathetic System -✓✓Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest
2.Increases blood sugar levels, increases body temperature, and increases blood
pressure -✓✓The sympathetic nervous system primarily serves to protect an individual
by doing which of the following? (select all that apply)
C.Sympathetic Nervous System -✓✓Increasing body temperature
E.Sympathetic Nervous System -✓✓Increasing blood pressure, increases blood sugar
levels, increases body temperature.
Sympathetic Nervous System -✓✓Increases blood sugar levels, increases body
temperature, and increases blood pressure
-✓✓In general, sympathetic stimulation promotes responses that are concerned with
the protection of the individual, which include increasing glucose, body temp, and BP.
3. Mobilizing energy stores, glucose to muscles, decreased release of insulin, redirects
blood supply from the gut to the muscles, heart, and lungs -✓✓Review: the sympathetic
system is all about what?
Sympathetic System -✓✓It's all about mobilizing energy stores, for instance glucose to
muscles, decreased release of insulin, redirects blood supply from the gut to the
muscles, heart, and lungs.
4.Level of consciousness -✓✓Which characteristic is the most critical index of nervous
system dysfunction?
Most Critical Index of Nervous system dysfunction -✓✓LOC is the most critical clinical
index of nervous system function or dysfunction. An alteration in consciousness
indicates either improvement or deterioration of a person's condition.
5.Prefrontal Lobe -✓✓Thought and goal-oriented behaviors are functions of which area
of the brain?
,Prefrontal lobe -✓✓area is responsible for goal-oriented behavior such as the ability to
concentrate, short-term or recall memory, and the elaboration of thought and inhibition
on the limbic (emotional) areas of the CNS.
6. Broca area in the frontal lobe -✓✓Where is the region responsible for the motor
aspects?
Broca are in the frontal lobe -✓✓Broca speech area is the only region responsible for
the motor aspects of speech.
7.Basal ganglia -✓✓Parkinson and Huntington diseases are associated with defects in
which area of the brain?
8. Hypothalamus -✓✓Maintenance of a constant internal environment and the
implementation of behavioral patterns are main functions of which area of the brain?
1)maintenance of a constant internal environment, and 2) implementation of behavioral
patterns -✓✓Hypothalamic function falls into 2 major areas:
9.Limbic System and prefrontal cortex -✓✓What parts of the brain mediate the
expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states?
Mediate expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states -✓✓Limbic system
and prefrontal cortex
10. Medulla Oblongata -✓✓Reflex activities concerned with heart rate, blood pressure,
respirations, sneezing, swallowing, and coughing are controlled by which area of the
brain?
Medulla Oblongata -✓✓makes up the myelencephalon and is the lowest portion of the
brainstem.
11.Cerebellum -✓✓Which area of the brain assumes the responsibility for conscious
and unconscious muscle synergy and for maintaining balance and posture?
12. 20% or 800 to 1000 ml of blood flow per minute -✓✓The brain receives
approximately what percentage of the cardiac output?
13. uneven expression of mood, unstable blood glucose levels, and poor temperature
regulation -✓✓What evidence does the nurse expect to see when a patient experiences
trauma to the hypothalamus? (select all that apply)
Trauma to hypothalamus -✓✓Uneven expression of mood, unstable blood glucose
levels, and poor temp regulation
, Hypothalamus -✓✓Forms the base of the diencephalon. Function controls autonomic
nervous system function, regulation of body temp, endocrine function (glucose levels),
and regulation of emotional expression.
14.Skin and Mucous Membranes -✓✓What is the first defense of our bodies?
15. To prevent infection of the injured tissue -✓✓Which action is the purpose of the
inflammatory process?
Inflammation -✓✓If the epithelial barrier is damaged, then a highly efficient local and
system response ______________ is mobilized to limit the extent of damage, to protect
against infection, and to initiate the repair of damaged tissue.
Loss of function (functio laesa) -✓✓There is a 5th sign known as loss of function (functio
laesa) but Dr. Wunderlich did not mention this.
16.Edema (tumor), warmth (calor), redness (rubor), and pain (dolar) -✓✓What are the 4
cardinal signs of infection?
17. Leukocytes -✓✓Which type of white blood cell is first to arrive at the site of
infection?
18. Increased Capillary permeability -✓✓What causes the edema that occurs during the
inflammatory process?
Inflammatory process -✓✓The increased flow and capillary permeability result in a
leakage of plasma from the vessels, causing swelling in the surrounding tissue and is
solely responsible for inflammation-induced edema.
19. Vasodilation of blood vessels -✓✓What process causes heat and redness to occur
during the inflammatory process?
locally increased warmth and redness -✓✓The increased blood flow, as a result of
vasodilation and increasing concentration of red cells at the site of inflammation cause
20. Directing leukocytes to the inflamed area -✓✓The chemotactic factor affects the
inflammatory process by?
neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) and eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis
(ECF-A), are released during mast cell degranulation. NCF attracts neutrophils (a type
of leukocytes), and ECF-A attracts eosinophils to the site of inflammation. -✓✓Two
chemotactic factors:
