What problem is Aneurysm [ Ans: ] Cerebral problem
Explain about aneurysm [ Ans: ] Is a cerebral problem.
- is a weak or thin spot on a artery in the brain.
- weakness in vessel
- latent - no symptoms
- it may burst or rupture, spilling blood into the
surrounding tissue - called hemorrhage - this can cause
serious health problems such as hemorrhagic stroke, brain
damage, coma, and even death.
Does aneurysm show any sign? [ Ans: ] No, it is latent. Not
showing signs of activity or existence
Saccular aneurysm [ Ans: ] Aneurysm bulges out only one
side - check pg 25
Fusiform aneurysm [ Ans: ] Bulges out on all sides of the
blood vessel
symptoms of aneurysm [ Ans: ] Eyelid drooping - upper
eyelid falls to a position that is lower than normal,
meningeal symptoms (like meninges tumor sign) - fever,
,being sick, headache, rash, stiff neck, dislike bright lights,
drowsiness and seizures
- ICP - intracranial hypertension - elevation of the pressure
in the cranium
autonomic nervous system [ Ans: ] the part of the
peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and
the involuntary function - hr, bp, respiration, digestion,
and sexual arousal
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
[ Ans: ] complete disruption of neurons
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- paraplegia [ Ans: ] Symptom of paralysis that main
effects your legs - lower
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- quadriplegia [ Ans: ] Paralysis that affects your upper
and lower (four limbs)
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- paralysis [ Ans: ] Retain some function - the loss of the
ability to move in part of the body
cauda equine syndrome [ Ans: ] - Autonomic nervous
system - Spinal cord and nerve injury -
- no cord injury because no cord after L1 (see picture on
pg 39 for the location of cauda equina)
,- the compression of a collection of nerve roots
- nerve roots can be impinged (being influenced)
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- cauda equine syndrome symtomps [ Ans: ] Several low
back pain, bladder dysfunction, bowel incontinence (loss
of control), muscle weakness or sensory loss in both legs,
loss of motor fnction in legs (difficulty walking)
autonomic hyperreflexia [ Ans: ] - Autonomic nervous
system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- a potentially life-thretening medical condition that many
people with spinal cord injury experience when there is a
pain or discomfort below their level of injury
- massive sympathetic response - responding to dangerous
or stressful situtations, fight or flight
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- autonomic hyperreflexia symptoms [ Ans: ] HTN,
tachcardia, headach,
Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury
- autonomic hyperreflexia result [ Ans: ] Can result in
seizures and stroke
- neurogenic shock - you have trouble keeping your hr, bp,
temperature stable because of damage to your nervous
system after a spinal cord injury
, - respiratory failure
Autonomic nervous system - communication by [ Ans: ]
Neuron synapse
Autonomic nervous system - sympathetic [ Ans: ] Fight or
flight - the reaction that people have to a dangerous
situations, that makes them either stay and deal with it or
run away.
Autonomic nervous system - role of sympathetic [ Ans: ] -
Increase hr and blood pressure
- dilate pupils and bronchioles
- blood from the GI - regulate GI blood flow via neurally
mediated vasoconstriction
- sympathetic work (discharge) to skin and skeletal muscle
Autonomic nervous system - sympathetic main hormone [
Ans: ] Epinephrine - effect on your heart (heart rate, bp)
Norepinephrine - effect on your blood vessels
Both play a role in your body's natural fight-or-flight
response to stress, increase the rate of glycogen
breakdown in the liver and skeletal muscle, increase blood
glucose, increase blood pressure, increase breathing rate,
increase metabolic rate, change blood flow patterns
