ADC ICRC exam Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
Process of addiction: stage one - ✔✔experimental and social use of occasional frequency
sometimes as a result of curiosity, obtaining social acceptance, and thrill seeking. The
experience is eutrophic and there are little noticeable changes.
process of addiction: stage two - ✔✔abuse use becomes regular happening without
friends sometimes alone or during the day time. Use may be a result of stress, anxiety,
and trying to maintain eutrophic feeling. Changes in personality, conflict in
relationships, lying.
process of addiction: stage three - ✔✔dependency/addiction daily use and any means
necessary to obtain. result of motivation to avoid pain and escape reality. guilt shame
possible suicidal ideation. Physical deterioration of health. Chance of overdose.
Substance use disorder specifiers - ✔✔in early remission, in sustained remission, on
maintenance therapy, and in a controlled environment
Five components of effective treatment - ✔✔assessment, patient-treatment matching,
comprehensive services, relapse prevention, accountability

,central nervous system - ✔✔consists of the brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system - ✔✔the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central
nervous system to the rest of the body
somatic nervous system - ✔✔the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls
the body's skeletal muscles
autonomic nervous system - ✔✔the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls
the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic
division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
sympathetic nervous system - ✔✔part of the autonomic system that controls the "flight-
or-fight" response in organisms.
parasympathetic nervous system - ✔✔the division of the autonomic nervous system
that calms the body, conserving its energy
Dopamine - ✔✔A neurotransmitter associated with movement, attention and learning
and the brain's pleasure and reward system.
Acetylcholine - ✔✔A neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also
triggers muscle contraction
Norepinephrine - ✔✔A neurotransmitter involved in arousal, as well as in learning and
mood regulation

,Serotonin - ✔✔A neurotransmitter that affects hunger,sleep, arousal, and mood.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) - ✔✔Neurotransmitter that reduces activity across
the synaptic cleft and thus inhibits a range of behaviors and emotions, especially
generalized anxiety.
Glycine - ✔✔an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the spine.
enkephalins and endorphins - ✔✔pain killing properties extracted from brain and
pituitary gland.
Reuptake - ✔✔A process in which neurotransmitters are sponged up from the synaptic
cleft by the presynaptic membrane.
medulla oblongata - ✔✔Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-sustaining functions
such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.
Pons - ✔✔A brain structure that relays information from the cerebellum to the rest of
the brain
Midbrain - ✔✔A small part of the brain above the pons that integrates sensory
information and relays it upward.
Cerebellum - ✔✔A large structure of the hindbrain that controls fine motor skills.

, Thalamus - ✔✔the brain's sensory switchboard, located on top of the brainstem; it
directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the
cerebellum and medulla
Subthalamus - ✔✔Involved in control of several functional pathways for sensory,
motor, and reticular function
Hypothalamus - ✔✔A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several
maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine
system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.
limbic system - ✔✔neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated
with emotions and drives
Cerebrum - ✔✔Largest part of the brain; coordinates thought, reasoning, movement,
and memory, includes the cerebral cortex and the white matter beneath it.
frontal lobe - ✔✔A region of the cerebral cortex that has specialized areas for
movement, abstract thinking, planning, memory, and judgement
parietal lobe - ✔✔receives sensory input for touch and body position
temporal lobe - ✔✔A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing and language.
occipital lobe - ✔✔A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information
Beer and Light beer - ✔✔anywhere between 3-6% alcohol
