NAVY HOSPITAL CORPSMAN HCB TEST 8 EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE VERIFIED SOLUTIONS ALREADY PASSED
A temporary acute paralysis or weakness of one side of the face
bells palsy
rapidly alternating involuntary contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle
clonic/clonus
rigid extension of all four extremities with hyperpronation of the forearms and
plantar flexion of the feet
decerebrate posturing
posturing manifested by the obtunded pt pulling arms and hands medially toward
the center of the body in response to noxious stimuli
decorticate posturing
the area of skin supplied by cuntaneous branches of single cranial or spinal
nerve
dermatome
an acute inflammation of the brain and spinal cord involving the meninges often
due to a virus
encephalitis
a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures secondary to
any underlying brain abnormality
epilepsy
muscular weakness or partial paralysis restricted to one side of the body
hemiparesis
total or partial paralysis of one side of the body that results from disease of or
injury to the motor centers of the brain
hemiplegia
a post infectious disorder following a nonspecific gastrointestinal or respiratory
infection that causes an acute neuromuscular paralysis
, guillian barre syndrome
a sensation of prickling tingling or creeping on the skin having no objective

peripheral nervous system
coordinates and regulates the internal organs of the body such as cardiac muscle
and smooth muscle. it has two divisions each tending to balance the impulses of
the other
autonomic nervous system
prods the body into action during times of physiologic and psychological stress
sympathetic division
fxs in a complimentary and counterbalancing manner to conserve the body
resources and maintain day to day body fxs such as digestion and elimination
parasympathetic division
the brain and spinal cord are protected by
skull & vertebrae
meninges
CSF
three layers of the meninges surround the brain and spinal cord assisting in the
production and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid
meninges
