1.Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest Correct Answer: Review: the
parasympathetic system is all about what?
Parasympathetic System Correct Answer: Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest
2.Increases blood sugar levels, increases body temperature, and increases blood pressure Correct
Answer: The sympathetic nervous system primarily serves to protect an individual by doing
which of the following? (select all that apply)
C.Sympathetic Nervous System Correct Answer: Increasing body temperature
E.Sympathetic Nervous System Correct Answer: Increasing blood pressure, increases blood
sugar levels, increases body temperature.
Sympathetic Nervous System Correct Answer: Increases blood sugar levels, increases body
temperature, and increases blood pressure
Correct Answer: In general, sympathetic stimulation promotes responses that are concerned
with the protection of the individual, which include increasing glucose, body temp, and BP.
3. Mobilizing energy stores, glucose to muscles, decreased release of insulin, redirects blood
supply from the gut to the muscles, heart, and lungs Correct Answer: Review: the sympathetic
system is all about what?
Sympathetic System Correct Answer: It's all about mobilizing energy stores, for instance
glucose to muscles, decreased release of insulin, redirects blood supply from the gut to the
muscles, heart, and lungs.
4.Level of consciousness Correct Answer: Which characteristic is the most critical index of
nervous system dysfunction?
Most Critical Index of Nervous system dysfunction Correct Answer: LOC is the most critical
clinical index of nervous system function or dysfunction. An alteration in consciousness
indicates either improvement or deterioration of a person's condition.
5.Prefrontal Lobe Correct Answer: Thought and goal-oriented behaviors are functions of which
area of the brain?
,Prefrontal lobe Correct Answer: area is responsible for goal-oriented behavior such as the ability
to concentrate, short-term or recall memory, and the elaboration of thought and inhibition on the
limbic (emotional) areas of the CNS.
6. Broca area in the frontal lobe Correct Answer: Where is the region responsible for the motor
aspects?
Broca are in the frontal lobe Correct Answer: Broca speech area is the only region responsible
for the motor aspects of speech.
7.Basal ganglia Correct Answer: Parkinson and Huntington diseases are associated with defects
in which area of the brain?
8. Hypothalamus Correct Answer: Maintenance of a constant internal environment and the
implementation of behavioral patterns are main functions of which area of the brain?
1)maintenance of a constant internal environment, and 2) implementation of behavioral patterns
Correct Answer: Hypothalamic function falls into 2 major areas:
9.Limbic System and prefrontal cortex Correct Answer: What parts of the brain mediate the
expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states?
Mediate expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states Correct Answer: Limbic
system and prefrontal cortex
10. Medulla Oblongata Correct Answer: Reflex activities concerned with heart rate, blood
pressure, respirations, sneezing, swallowing, and coughing are controlled by which area of the
brain?
Medulla Oblongata Correct Answer: makes up the myelencephalon and is the lowest portion of
the brainstem.
11.Cerebellum Correct Answer: Which area of the brain assumes the responsibility for
conscious and unconscious muscle synergy and for maintaining balance and posture?
12. 20% or 800 to 1000 ml of blood flow per minute Correct Answer: The brain receives
approximately what percentage of the cardiac output?
13. uneven expression of mood, unstable blood glucose levels, and poor temperature regulation
Correct Answer: What evidence does the nurse expect to see when a patient experiences trauma
to the hypothalamus? (select all that apply)
Trauma to hypothalamus Correct Answer: Uneven expression of mood, unstable blood glucose
levels, and poor temp regulation
, Hypothalamus Correct Answer: Forms the base of the diencephalon. Function controls
autonomic nervous system function, regulation of body temp, endocrine function (glucose
levels), and regulation of emotional expression.
14.Skin and Mucous Membranes Correct Answer: What is the first defense of our bodies?
15. To prevent infection of the injured tissue Correct Answer: Which action is the purpose of the
inflammatory process?
Inflammation Correct Answer: If the epithelial barrier is damaged, then a highly efficient local
and system response ______________ is mobilized to limit the extent of damage, to protect
against infection, and to initiate the repair of damaged tissue.
Loss of function (functio laesa) Correct Answer: There is a 5th sign known as loss of function
(functio laesa) but Dr. Wunderlich did not mention this.
16.Edema (tumor), warmth (calor), redness (rubor), and pain (dolar) Correct Answer: What are
the 4 cardinal signs of infection?
17. Leukocytes Correct Answer: Which type of white blood cell is first to arrive at the site of
infection?
18. Increased Capillary permeability Correct Answer: What causes the edema that occurs during
the inflammatory process?
Inflammatory process Correct Answer: The increased flow and capillary permeability result in a
leakage of plasma from the vessels, causing swelling in the surrounding tissue and is solely
responsible for inflammation-induced edema.
19. Vasodilation of blood vessels Correct Answer: What process causes heat and redness to
occur during the inflammatory process?
locally increased warmth and redness Correct Answer: The increased blood flow, as a result of
vasodilation and increasing concentration of red cells at the site of inflammation cause
20. Directing leukocytes to the inflamed area Correct Answer: The chemotactic factor affects
the inflammatory process by?
neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) and eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A),
are released during mast cell degranulation. NCF attracts neutrophils (a type of leukocytes), and
ECF-A attracts eosinophils to the site of inflammation. Correct Answer: Two chemotactic
factors:
What is pain mediated by? Correct Answer: Histamines, bradykinins, leukotrienes, and
prostaglandins
