Chapter 25. Neurologic and Muscular Disorders
1. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for:
1. Digesting a meal of hotdogs and chips.
2. Monitoring the heart rate while running.
3. Causing the body to perspire in the hot sun.
4. All of the above are part of the autonomic nervous system.
ANS: 4
Feedback
1.The ANS helps with the digestion of food.
2.The heart is regulated by the ANS.
3.Perspiration occurs because of the ANS for the purpose
of thermoregulation.
4.The ANS helps with the digestion of food. The heart is regulated by the
ANS. Perspiration occurs because of the ANS for the purpose of
thermoregulation.
2. The responsibilities of the central nervous system include:
1. Deciding to walk instead of run.
2. Helping to understand a math problem.
3. Digesting the food in the stomach.
4. Keeping the hand on a hot stove.
ANS: 1
Feedback
1.The brain is part of the CNS, which helps make decisions about body
movements.
2.The CNS does not help with cognitive abilities.
3.Food digestion is part of the ANS.
4.The CNS would tell the hand to move.
3. The blood-brain barrier of an infant is:
1. Less permeable than that of an adult.
,2. Impermeable for glucose.
, 3. Permeable for large proteins.
4. Permeable for large molecules.
ANS: 4
Feedback
1.There is no difference between the adult and infant blood-brain barrier.
2.Glucose is permeable for the blood-brain barrier.
3.Large proteins are impermeable for the blood-brain barrier.
4.Large molecules are able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
4. The first assessment a child receives to identify neurological development is:
1. APGAR scores.
2. Scoliosis testing.
3. The Denver II study.
4. Kindergarten testing.
ANS: 1
Feedback
1.APGAR stands for Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration,
indicating responses of the neurological system. This testing is
done right after birth.
2.Scoliosis testing does not occur until the child is a preteen.
3.The Denver II test is not used until the infant is older.
4.Kindergarten testing occurs later in the childs life.
5. Questions about neurological function are raised when a child:
1. Snores.
2. Shows aggression when previously none was shown.
3. Wants attention from a parent.
4. Refuses to follow adult instruction.
