Hypothermia ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔· potentially life threatening
when core body temp drops below 35 C (95 f)
Causes of hypothermia ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Environmental
exposure
-Hypoglycemia
-Hypothyroidism
-Hypoadrenalism
-Hypopituitarism
-CNS dysfunction
-Drug intoxication
-Sepsis
-cardiovascular disease
alcoholism
malnutrition
,Hypothermia clinical manifestations ✔✔CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Decreased body temperature, pulse and respiration
Severe shivering
Feelings of cold and chills
Pale, cool, waxy skin
Frostbite(discolored, blistered nose, fingers, toes)
Hypotension
Decresed urinary output
Lack of muscle coordination
Disorientation
Drowsiness progressing in coma
Treatment of hypothermia ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Passive
rewarming, active total rewarming , active core rewarming . Support
vital functions . Prevention and treatment of complications
motor function pathway ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔spinal cord-> brain
stem ->motor cortex -> cerebellum and basal ganglia
what portion of the spinal cord is responsive for movement
✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔LMN in the ventral horn
,How does the motor cortex organize movement ✔✔CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔UMNs project from the motor cortex to the opposite side
of the medulla where they form a pyramid before crossing the midline
to form the lateral corticospinal tract in spinal cord
primary motor cortex ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔responsible for
execution of a movement
premotor cortex ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔generating a plan of
movement
supplemental motor cortex ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔rehearsing motor
sequences of movement (includes both sides of the body)
LMN- lower muscle neuron ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔orginates in the
spinal cord and travels to the muscle/glands in the body
UMN- upper muscle neuron ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔originates in the
cerebral cortex and travels down the brain stem and spinal cord to the
stretch and deep tendon reflexes ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔spinal
reflexes- > muscle spindles of the stretch reflex function to monitor and
correct for changes in muscle length when extrafusal fibers are either
shortened (contraction) or lengthened (by stretch)
, paresis ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔weakness
paralysis ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔loss of muscle movement
atrophy ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔loss of muscle
hypertrophy ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔increase in muscle mass
hypotonia or flaccidity ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔less than normal
muscle tone
hypertonia or spacitiy ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔excessive tone
coordination of movement ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔requires the
function of the reflex circuitry that monitors the functional status of
muscle fibers on a moment- to -moment basis
what are abnormal and uncoordinated movements or postures are
suggestive of ✔✔CORRECT ANSWER✔✔cerebellar or basal ganglia
pathologic process
