Primary manifestations of SRMD GI bleeding Cushing Ulcers Stress ulcers that occur as a result of TBI or brain surgery Upper GI bleed any source of bleeding which occurs in the esophagus, stomach or the duodenum. Upper GI bleed is characterized by... frank, bright red or "coffee ground" emesis Upper GI bleed causes bleeding varices (varicose veins) in the esophagus or stomach peptic ulcers gastritis Mallory-Weiss tear (tearing of the esophagus from the stoma...

Accesories of the Afferent Division of the Nervous system Correct Answer-1. Receptors - detects stimuli 2. Sensory neurons - relays sensory information towards the CNS *receives input from dendrites, uses axon to send it to CNS* 3. Sensory pathways - nerves, nuclei, and tracts that deliver sensory information to the CNS Accesories of the Efferent Division of the Nervous system Correct Answer-1. Nuclei - contain cell bodies of motor neurons 2. Motor neurons - send commands to effect...

NURS 5315 Gastrointestinal Module 9 (GI System Anatomy and Physiology) .Discuss the effects of aging on the gastrointestinal tract.  Age related changes in the GI tract begins at age 50  Tooth enamel and dentin wear down→ more vulnerable to cavities  Teeth are lost as a result of: o Periodontal (gum) disease o Recession of gums o Osteoporotic bone changes o Brittle roots that fracture easily  Taste buds decline in number  Sense of smell diminishes  Sense of taste de...

Hypothalamus function correct answers The bridge between the nervous system and the endocrine system. This is because it regulates the pituitary gland It is regulated by negative feedback and helps with homeostasis Steroid Hormones: bloodstream travel correct answers Not water soluble and thus must be carried by proteins in the bloodstream to be able to travel around the body Peptide hormones: bloodstream travel correct answers Water soluble so they travel freely in the bloodstream and ...
