NURS 2407 ATI EXAM GUIDE :Neurological System
(Part 1) NEW UPDATE 2023 A+ RATED
The Nervous System
Central Nervous system
Brain- (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobe)
Spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous
system Autonomic
NS
Sympathetic NS- protects body in times danger and stress
Parasympathetic NS- maintain regulatory task of the body
Motor system
Afferent sensory nerves- sends info to the spinal cord and brain
Efferent sensory nerves- sends info from the brain to all parts of the
body
Neurons: cells that conduct nerve impulses (cell body (lysosome, mitochondrion,
cytoplasm necessary for cell to survive), axon away from cell body, dendrites
receiving and carrying nerves impulses to the cell body,
CNS Neurotransmitters:
Acetylcholine- stimulate cholinergic receptor
Histamine
Gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA) Oxytocin
Vasopressin
Monoamines
Dopamine
Serotonin
Epinephrine- stimulates adrenergic receptor
Norepinephrine- simulates adrenergic

receptor
Drugs are cholinergic or adrenergic based on which
neurotransmitter they simulate
• Agonists stimulate

(Part 1) NEW UPDATE 2023 A+ RATED
o Cholinergic agonist enhances effects of acetylcholine
• Antagonists block
o Cholinergic antagonist blocks effects of acetylcholine
• Drugs the begin with "anti-"
and end with "-ase"
o Block degradation of transmitter
Autonomic Nervous System:
Responds to stress or danger
Maintains regulatory function of
body
Such as digestion, elimination, and reproduction
Goal of Drug Therapy:
Depress or increase activity of CNS
Regulate amounts of CNS
neurotransmitters Stimulate or block
autonomic receptor Treat psychiatric
disorders
CNS Depressants- Drug Therapy for sleep Disorders
