MDC 4 EXAMPREP REVIEW SHEET WITH
TESTED QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
●● Peripheral Nervous System
Answer: Cranial and spinal nerves.
Autonomic and somatic systems
●● Basic functional unit of the CNS
Answer: Neurons
●● Function of CNS
Answer: Motor, sensory, autonomic, cognitive, and behavior activities
●● Function of Neurotransmitters
Answer: Communicate messages from one neuron to another or a
specific target tissue.
Neurotransmitters can potentiate, terminate, or modulate a specific
action or can excite or inhibit a target cell.
●● Cause of many neurological disorders
Answer: imbalance in neurotransmitters
,●● Autonomic Nervous system
Answer: regulate internal organs. Maintain internal homeostasis
●● Sympathetic nervous system
Answer: "fight or flight"
●● NT of sympathetic nervous system
Answer: norepinephrine
●● Parasympathetic nervous system
Answer: Controls visceral functions
●● Parts of the CNS that controls the Autonomic Nervous System
Answer: Spinal cord, Brainstem, Hypothalamus
●● Neuro Assessment: Health History
Answer: Pain, seizures, dizziness, vertigo, visual disturbances,
weakness, abnormal sensations, past health, family, social history
●● Seizures: Testing
Answer: EKG, Glucose monitoring
,●● Seizures: Interventions
Answer: Lay pt on the left side, have suction available
●● Agnosia
Answer: Loss of ability to recognize objects through a specific sensory
system (visual, auditory, or tactile).
●● Ataxia
Answer: Inability to coordinate muscle movements, causing difficulties
in walking, talking, and self-care.
●● Autonomic Nervous System
Answer: Regulates involuntary body functions.
●● Axon
Answer: The neuron part conducts impulses away from the cell body.
●● Babinski Reflex
Answer: Toe reflex indicating abnormalities in adult motor control
pathways.
●● Clonus
, Answer: Rapid, alternating muscle contraction and relaxation
●● Delirium
Answer: Acute confusion that can worsen to brain damage or death if
untreated.
●● Dendrite
Answer: Neuron part conducting impulses toward the cell body.
●● Flaccidity
Answer: Lack of muscle tone; limpness.
●● Parasympathetic Nervous System
Answer: Division of the autonomic nervous system active during
nonstressful conditions, managing visceral functions.
●● Proprioception- Position sense
Answer: Awareness of body part positions without visual cues.
●● Reflex
Answer: Automatic response to stimuli.
●● Rigidity
