Review: the sympathetic system is all about what? - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔3. Mobilizing energy stores, glucose to muscles, decreased release of
insulin, redirects blood supply from the gut to the muscles, heart, and lungs
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. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Sympathetic System
Which characteristic is the most critical index of nervous system dysfunction? -
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔4.Level of consciousness
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. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Most Critical
Index of Nervous system dysfunction

- CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔5.Prefrontal Lobe
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. - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Prefrontal lobe
,Where is the region responsible for the motor aspects? - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔6. Broca area in the frontal lobe
Broca speech area is the only region responsible for the motor aspects of
speech. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Broca are in the frontal lobe
Parkinson and Huntington diseases are associated with defects in which area
of the brain? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔7.Basal ganglia
Maintenance of a constant internal environment and the implementation of
behavioral patterns are main functions of which area of the brain? - CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔8. Hypothalamus
Hypothalamic function falls into 2 major areas: - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔1)maintenance of a constant internal environment, and 2) implementation
of behavioral patterns

behavioral states? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔9.Limbic System and prefrontal
cortex

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. - CORRECT ANSWERS
