Terms in this set (78)
basic unit of neurological neuron
system
neuron body parts dendrites, cell body, axon
PNS spinal nerves (31) and cranial nerves (12)
dermatome area of skin controlled by each spinal nerve
closed circuits of spinal and peripheral nerves. not under control
reflex arcs
of the brain
3 major areas of the brain brainstem, cerebellum, forebrain
frontal- personality, behavior, emotions, intellectual functioning
parietal- sensation
lobes of cerebral cortex
occipital- visual receptor
temporal- auditory reception, taste, and smell
parts of brainstem medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain
location of cerebellum adjacent to brainstem and below occipital lobe
Wernickes area processing of words into coherent thought
Brocas area formation of words and speech
motor cortex control of voluntary movement
coordinates movement and functioning of muscles, joints,
cerebellum
tendons. Maintains balance and equilibrium
, medulla oblongata regulates respiration, heart rate, blood pressure
regulates respirations, acts as relay signal between forebrain and
pons
cerebellum
precipitating factors/palliative factors/provoking factors
(P)QRST "what were you doing when the problem started?" "what triggers
the problem?" "what helps the problem?"
quality/quantity
P(Q)RST
"what does it feel like?" "what does it look like?"
region/radiation/ related symptoms
PQ(R)ST "can you point to where the problem is" "does the problem
spread/radiate"
severity
PQR(S)T
"is the problem mild, moderate, severe"
timing
PQRS(T)
"when did the problem start"
assessment of CN I (olfactory) identify odor while other nostril occluded
visual acuity and visual fields by confrontation. examine ocular
assessment of CNII (optic)
fundus to determine color, size, and shape
assessment of CN III, IV, VI check pupils for size, regularity, equality, direct, and consensual
(oculomotor, trochlear, light reaction, and accommodation. extraocular movements by
abducens) cardinal positions of gaze. assess for nystagmus (tremor of eye)
motor function: assess muscles of mastication by palpating
temporal and masseter muscle
assessment of CN V (trigeminal) sensory: (eyes closed) light touch using cotton swab on
forehead, cheeks, chin
test all 3 divisions of CN V ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular
motor function: mobility and face symmetry as person responds
to selected movements.
assessment of CNVII
have person puff cheeks then push air out. examine if air escapes
at same time
assessment of CNVIII test hearing acuity by normal talking voice and whisper
(vestibulocochlear)
motor function: depress tongue with tongue blade, note
pharyngeal movement as person says "ahh"; uvula and soft
assessment of CN XI, X palate should rise in midline, tonsillar pillars should move
(glossopharyngeal, vagus) medially
sensory function: mediates taste on posterior 1/3 of tongue, too
difficult to test
examine sternomastoid and trapezius muscles for equal size.
assessment of CNXI (spinal check equal strength by asking person to rotate head against
accessory) resistance applied to side of chin, ask person to shrug shoulders
against resistance
inspect tongue, no wasting or tremors should be present. Note
assessment of CNXII forward thrust in midline as person protrudes tongue. ask person
(hypoglossal) to say "light tight dynamite" note distinct and clear pronunciation
of L, T, D, N
apocrine sweat gland emotional sweat response
eccrine sweat gland regulate body temperature through secretion of water
