20
Q

structural and motor changes in geriatric patients

A

Structural and motor changes related to aging that may be assessed in geriatric patients include decreased or absent deep tendon reflexes.
Pupillary responses are reduced or may not appear at all in the presence of cataracts.
There is an overall slowing of autonomic nervous system responses.
Strength and agility are diminished and reaction and movement times are decreased.

21
Q

A

subarachnoid space and down the spinal cord on the dorsal surface

23
Q

arachnoid villus

A

area in the brain where CSF is absorbed

25
Q
