1. Review: the parasympathetic system is all about what?
Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest
2. The sympathetic nervous system primarily serves to protect an individual by doing which
of the following? (select all that apply)
A. Decreasing mucous production
B. Increasing blood sugar levels
C. Increasing body temperature
D. Decreasing sweat excretion
E. Increasing blood pressure
Increases blood sugar levels, increases body temperature, and increases blood pressure
In general, sympathetic stimulation promotes responses that are concerned with the
protection of the individual, which include increasing glucose, body temp, and BP.
3. Review: ‘the ‘sympathetic ‘system ‘is ‘all ‘about ‘what?
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.
4. Which ‘characteristic ‘is ‘the ‘most ‘critical ‘index ‘of ‘nervous ‘system
‘dysfunction? ‘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.
5. Thought ‘and ‘goal-oriented ‘behaviors ‘are ‘functions ‘of ‘which ‘area ‘of ‘the
‘brain? ‘Prefrontal ‘lobe
The ‘prefrontal ‘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.
6. Where ‘is ‘the ‘region ‘responsible ‘for ‘the ‘motor
‘aspects? ‘Broca ‘area ‘in ‘the ‘frontal ‘lobe
Broca ‘speech ‘area ‘is ‘the ‘only ‘region ‘responsible ‘for ‘the ‘motor ‘aspects ‘of ‘speech.

7. Parkinson ‘and ‘Huntington ‘diseases ‘are ‘associated ‘with ‘defects ‘in ‘which ‘area ‘of
‘the ‘brain?
Basal ‘ganglia
8. Maintenance ‘of ‘a ‘constant ‘internal ‘environment ‘and ‘the ‘implementation ‘of
‘behavioral ‘patterns ‘are ‘main ‘functions ‘of ‘which ‘area ‘of ‘the ‘brain?
Hypothalamus
Hypothalamic ‘function ‘falls ‘into ‘2 ‘major ‘areas: ‘1) ‘maintenance ‘of ‘a ‘constant ‘internal
‘environment, ‘and ‘2) ‘implementation ‘of ‘behavioral ‘patterns.
9. What ‘parts ‘of ‘the ‘brain ‘mediate ‘the ‘expression ‘of ‘affect, ‘both ‘emotional ‘and
‘behavioral ‘states?
Limbic ‘system ‘and ‘prefrontal ‘cortex
10. Reflex ‘activities ‘concerned ‘with ‘heart ‘rate, ‘blood ‘pressure, ‘respirations,
‘sneezing, ‘swallowing, ‘and ‘coughing ‘are ‘controlled ‘by ‘which ‘area ‘of ‘the ‘brain?
Medulla ‘oblongata
The ‘medulla ‘oblongata ‘makes ‘up ‘the ‘myelencephalon ‘and ‘is ‘the ‘lowest ‘portion ‘of ‘the
‘brainstem.
11. Which ‘area ‘of ‘the ‘brain ‘assumes ‘the ‘responsibility ‘for ‘conscious ‘and
‘unconscious ‘muscle ‘synergy ‘and ‘for ‘maintaining ‘balance ‘and ‘posture?
Cerebellum
12. The ‘brain ‘receives ‘approximately ‘what ‘percentage ‘of ‘the ‘cardiac
‘output? ‘20% ‘or ‘800 ‘to ‘1000 ‘ml ‘of ‘blood ‘flow ‘per ‘minute
13. What ‘evidence ‘does ‘the ‘nurse ‘expect ‘to ‘see ‘when ‘a ‘patient ‘experiences ‘trauma ‘to
‘the ‘hypothalamus? ‘(select ‘all ‘that ‘apply)
A. Uneven ‘expression ‘of ‘mood
B. Unstable ‘blood ‘glucose ‘levels
C. Poor ‘regulation ‘of ‘body ‘temperature
D. Visual ‘disturbances ‘such ‘as ‘blurred ‘vision
E. N/V ‘and ‘symptoms ‘of ‘gastroesophageal ‘reflux ‘disease
Uneven ‘expression ‘of ‘mood, ‘unstable ‘blood ‘glucose ‘levels, ‘and ‘poor ‘temp ‘regulation
