Navy corpsman test 8 Neuro & Endocrine
- ANS-
abducens nerve - ANS-CN VI
Accuracy of movement - ANS-Finger-to-finger test with person's eyes open
Movements should be rapid, smooth, and accurate
Consistent past pointing may indicate cerebellar impairment
Heel-to-shin with person supine, sitting, or standing
Should move heel from knee up and down the shin in a straight line, without irregular deviations
to the side
acoustic nerve - ANS-CN VIII
adrenal gland - ANS-locates superior to the kidneys; they secrete epinephrine (adrenaline) and
norepinephrine. It also helps to regulate water and electrolyte levels
Alert and Oriented x3 - ANS-A&Ox3
alpha cells - ANS-secrete glucagon to increase blood glucose levels
Alternation of consciousness - ANS-AOC
autonomic nervous system - ANS-coordinates and regulates the internal organs of the body,
such as cardiac and smooth muscle; it has two divisions, each tending to balance the impulses
of the other.
autonomic nervous system (abbreviation) - ANS-ANS
Bell's Palsy - ANS-temporary acute paralysis or weakness of one side of the face
Bell's Palsy subjective - ANS--rapidly progressive muscle weakness on one side of the face
(over 2-3d)
-feeling of facial numbness
bell's palsy treatment - ANS-antiviral meds and corticosteroids
analgesics for pain
eye care: artificial tears during day, lubricants for night
facial massage
bell's palsy: objective - ANS--facial creases and nasolabial fold disappear on affected side
-eyelid will not close on affected side and lower lid sags; leads to eye irritation; eye may tear
excessively
-food and saliva may pool in affected side of mouth
-facial sensation is intact
beta cells - ANS-secrete insulin, decrease blood glucose levels
blood glucose meter - ANS-An instrument used to test the level of glucose in blood (glucometer)
blood-brain barrier - ANS-naturally occurring barrier created by the modification of the brain
capillaries that prevents many substances from leaving the blood and crossing the capillary
walls into the brain tissue
brain - ANS-receives blood supply (about 20% total cardiac output) from the two internal carotid
arteries and two vertebral arteries
Brain injury symptoms - ANS--altered LOC
, -pupil changes
-sudden onset of neuro deficits, senses, reflexes, movement
-VS changes
-HA
-seizures
brain injury treatment (prehospital) - ANS-primary and secondary assessment
Brainstem - ANS-pathway between the cerebral cortex in the spinal cord, and it controls many
involuntary functions
central nervous system - ANS-main network of coordination and control for the body; consists of
the brain and spinal cord
central nervous system (abbreviation) - ANS-CNS
Cerebellum - ANS-it's the motor cortex and the cerebrum in the integration of voluntary
movement; it processes sensory information from the eyes ears touch receptors and muscular
skeletal; also uses the sensory data for reflux control muscle tone, balance, and posture to
produce study and precise movements
cerebral cortex - ANS-gray outer layer that houses the higher mental functions and is
responsible for general movement, visceral functions, perception, behavior, and the integration
of these functions
cerebrospinal fluid - ANS-CSF
Cerebrum - ANS-The lobes of the two cerebral hemispheres in the brain that integrate sensory
information and coordinate the creature's response to that information
cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem - ANS-three main parts of the brain
clonic/clonus - ANS-Rapidly alternating involuntary contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle
occurring in some nervous system disease
CN I - ANS-arise in the olfactory neurosensory cells of the nasal mucous membrane, and pass
to the anterior part of the cerebrum
sensory: smell reception and interpretation
CN I test - ANS-test the ability to smell by closing one naris at a time with eyes closed
CN II - ANS-conducts visual impulses from the eye to the brain
sensory: visual acuity and visual fields
CN II test - ANS-test distance and near vision with Snellen Chart
CN III - ANS-nerve that arises from the midbrain and control four muscles of the eye
Motor: raise eyelids, most extraocular movements
Parasympathetic: pupillary constriction, change lens shape
CN III, IV, VI test - ANS-inspect eyelids for drooping, pupil size for PERRL, and test extraocular
eye movements
CN IV - ANS-supplies some of the eye muscles with movement
Motor: downward, inward eye movement
CN IX - ANS-mixed nerves that supply chiefly the pharynx, posterior tongue and parotid gland
Motor: voluntary muscles for swallowing and phonation
sensory: sensation of nasopharynx, gag reflex, taste
parasympathetic: secretion of salivary glands, carotid reflex
Motor: voluntary muscles of phonation and swallowing
