Q

*What is the difference between lifting and transporting?

A

Lifting is when you have to lift over 50% of the patients weight. Transporting is when the patient can move 50% of their weight and we guide them.

47
Q

*What are the 4 types of bones?

A
  1. Long bones: Take the wt of the body (Femur)
  2. Short bones: Allow ease of movement (Fingers)
  3. Flat bones: Protect organs (Skull)
  4. Irregular bones: Vertebrae allow movement and flexibilty
48
Q

*What are in bones, and what is manufactured in this?

A

Bone Marrow, Blood cells are manufactured in them

49
Q

A

Point where 2 bones meet and allow movement

50
Q

*What are the 3 types of joints?

A

1) Ball and socket joint: 1 rounded bone put together with a hallow bone (Hips)
2) Hinge joint: Movement in 1 direction (Knees)
3) Pivot joint: Allows side to side movement (Skull on spine)

51
Q

What is Cartilage?

A

Connective tissue Cushion in joints so bones don’t rub together

52
Q

What are synovial membranes and secretions for?

A

Lubricate joints to allow movement

53
Q

What are Ligaments?

A

Long bands of connective tissue that hold joints together

54
Q

What are the 3 types of Muscles?

A

Voluntary: We control these muscles (Shredded looking)
Involuntary: Automatically do work (Smooth looking)
Cardiac: Only found in the heart (Look shredded act as smooth)

55
Q

What is the Muscles Functions?

A
  • Body heat
  • Move body
  • Posture
56
Q

What is the Nervous system?

A

Controls, directs and coordinates the body the body functions
There is 2 divisions
Central Nervous system CNS
Peripheral Nervous system PNS

57
Q

What does Neuroglia ad Neurons do ?

A

Neuroglia nourish, protect, and insulate Neurons

Neurons transmit information

58
Q

What are 3 parts of a Neuron?

A

1) Dendrites: Branches receive info from other neruons
2) Nucleus: Cell body that keeps cells alive
3) Axon: Longer extensions that carry information away from the cell

59
Q

What is the space between you Neurons?

A

Synapse

60
Q

What is downfall about Nerves?

A

Easy to damage and take a long time to heal

61
Q

What are main components of CNS?

A
  • Brain and Spine

Cererum, Cerebellum, Brainstem, Spinal cord, Meninges

62
Q

What is Cerebrum?

A

Centre for thoughts and intelligence
2 halves right controls movement on the left side. Left side controls movement on the right side. Outside the cerebrum is the cerebral cortex this controls the highest functions of the brain. (Reasoning, memory, consciousness, speech, hearing, vision)

63
Q

What is a Cerebellum?

A

Cerebellum: Regulates and controls body movements smooth and voluntary muscles ad balance if injured it results in jerky movements. (Parkinson’s)

64
Q

What is a Brainstem?

A

It is responsible for basic vital life functions. It connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord. (Breathing, swallowing, coughing, vomiting)

65
Q

What is Spinal cord?

A

It is about 45cm in length and contains pathways that conduct messages to and from the brain.

66
Q

What is Meninges?

A

It is connective tissue that covers the brain and spinal colum. (Inflammation of this causes meningitis)

67
Q

What are main parts of PNS?

A
  • 12 pairs of cranial nerves
  • 31 pairs of spinal nerves
    Cranial nerves conduct impulses between brain, head, neck and chest.
    Spinal nerves carry impulses from skin.
    Autonomic Nervous - formed by peripheral nevers
68
Q

What are Autonomic Nerves?

A

formed by peripheral nevers
Controls involuntary muscles HR, BP, intestinal contractions
The autonomic system is divided into 2 sections.
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic

69
Q

What is Sympathetic? (Fight or Flight)

A

Increasing HR, Increasing breathing, stimulates sweating, pupils dilate, goosebumps (Piloerections), increasing muscle strength
Reflexes are sped up
Inhibits digestion

70
Q

What is Parasympathetic? (Rescue/Recover)

A

Decreasing HR
Pupils contract
Opposite of Sympathetic

71
Q

What are the main parts of Sensory System?

A

1) Sight
2) Hearing
3) Taste
4) Touch
5) Smell

72
Q

SIGHT

A

Eyelids, eyelashes, bones of the skull help protect your eye
3 Layers to your eye
Sclera - While of the eyes tough connective tissue includes the cornea.
Choroid - Blood vessels, ciliary muscle and iris (colour) contains the pupil.
Retina - inner layer of vision receptors and nerve fibers
Aqueous Chamber - separates the cornea from the lens its filled with fluid called aqueous humour.
Vitreous Humour is behind the lens and is a gel like substance that gives the eye theie shape.

73
Q

EAR

A

Assists with balance
3 Parts to the ear
External ear is called the pinna sound waves are guided into the ear through the auditory canal (1inch) Cerumen (wax) catches particles that enter the ear. Ear drum (tympanic membrane) separate the outer and middle ear.
Middle ear is a small space that contains eustachian tubes (connect to throat) and 3 small bones called ossicles (amplify sound and transmit it to the inner ear. Air enters through the tubes and regulates pressure on the ear drum.
Inner ear are canals that are semi-circular called cochlea contain fluid that carries sound waves

74
Q

TASTE

A 
Taste buds on the tongue are receptors for taste
Sweet (tip)
Sour (back side)
Bitter (back top)
Salty (Front side)
75
Q

TOUCH

A

Receptors are found in our skin

We feel, pain, heat, cold, pressure

76
Q

SMELL

A

Receptors are located on the roof of the nasal cavity. The receptors are stimulated by the fluid in the mucous membrane of the nose

77
Q

*Why do we shiver?

A

Muscles shiver when they are cold to make body heat

78
Q

*What is a transfer belt?

A

A strap you can put around a patient to help you transfer them

79
Q

What is Contraction and Relaxation?

A

Flexion and Extension

80
Q

What are safety factors for mobilizing a patient?

A

Proper shoes, proper posture, using big muscles, proper equiptment

81
Q

*What is the safety of transportations and lifting?

A

Using big muscles, proper positioning, toes pointed, making sure that walking aids are close
