35
Q

dorsal column

A
  • ascending tract

- proprioception, vibratory sensation, discriminative touch, deep touch

36
Q

anterolateral column

A

-pain, temperature, light touch

37
Q

hippocampus

A
  • lower temporal lobe. forming and storing new memories
  • important for learning language
  • “memory indexer”

A

3:2

42
Q

Charcot’s foot

A
  • neuropathic arthropathy involving bone destruction, bone absorption leading to an unstable joint
  • rocker-bottom deformity, which can lead to ulceration due to a redistribution of pressure
43
Q

pursed lip breathing

A
  • leaves more O2 in the lungs to increase diffusion

- prevent airways from collapsing

44
Q

obstructive lung disease definition

A

-difficulty getting air out

45
Q

restrictive lung disease definition

A
  • difficulty getting air in

- group of lung diseases that results in difficulty expanding the lungs & a reduction in lung volume

46
Q

pulmonary function tests with obstructive lung disease

A

^ TLC
^ FRC
^ RV
decreased timed capacities

47
Q

pulmonary function tests with restrictive lung disease

A

decreased TLC
normal/decreased FRC
normal/^ timed capacities
decreased VC

48
Q

equation for lung compliance

A

[Change in volume] / [change in pressure]

49
Q

equation for airway resistance

A

Q = [change in pressure] x [resistance]

50
Q

classic sign of restrictive lung disease

A

dyspnea
