Neurological Assessment Part 1 Flashcards
is neurological assessment subjective data or objective data
subjective data
When lack in ? , confusion sometimes occurs
oxygen
two divisions of the nervous system
Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
what body parts are included in the CNS
brain and spinal cord
Afferent divisions of PNS
sensory
division consists of several receptors coming from senses and internal environment
sensory
sensitive to changes in the diameter of the
blood vessels
Chemoreceptors and baroreceptors
sensitive to changes in pH levels
osmoreceptors
These receptors will receive different
stimuli from internal and external
environment and send signals to your
brain which considered to be the control
center
osmoreceptors
Fight or flight response
Sympathetic
Rest and digest
Parasympathetic
Basic unit of the nervous system
neurons
Responsible for sending impulses throughout your body
neurons
are made up of fats and mostly cover the axons
myelin sheaths
Transmission of impulses are much higher and faster from a ? compared to a demyelinated axon
myelinated axon
is a condition of a demyelinated axon.
Multiple Sclerosis
is there a specific reason why there is a demyelinated axon?
none/ idiopathic (no reason)
if the person has Multiple Sclerosis is the thinking capacity affected?
yes
why if a person has Multiple Sclerosis the thinking capacity is affected?
Kasi impulses ay nag-jujump sa Nodes of Ranvier thus making it faster by myelin sheath. Kapag demyelinated, mabagal ang transmission of impulses
regions of the brain (4)
Brain stem, Diencephalon, Cerebrum and
Cerebellum
part included in the brain stem (1)
medulla oblongata
Medulla oblongata is responsible for one’s
vitals like (2)
blood pressure and respiration
location of the medulla oblongata
nape/ baton
Are complex network of nuclei and neurons
Reticular Formation
This is the reason why bakit tayo nagigising due to our alarm clock sound. Our sleep-wake
cycle.
Reticular activating system:
Located between the brainstem and
cerebellum
diencephalon
parts of the diencephalon (3)
thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
diencephalon; Relay centers
thalamus
Bago mapunta sa brain ang stimuli,
? will be the one to relay first to
have a true recognition whether that
sensation will be pleasant or unpleasant.
thalamus
diencephalon; Associated with the endocrine
system - where the pituitary glands
secretes hormones
hypothalamus
