PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY 1
Central nervous system (CNS) - Answer -Brain and Spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - Answer -Nerve fibers and Nerve ganglia
3 major parts of the brain - Answer -Cerebrum;
Cerebellum;
Brainstem
Where is the brainstem? - Answer -It connects the brain and spinal cord
role of the brainstem - Answer -Regulation of RR, HR, BP, sleep-wake cycle and levels
of alertness
Cerebellum function - Answer -Regulates movement, plays role in procedural memory
and classical conditioning
Cerebrum - Answer -Ability to think, plan, process sensory information, and to move.
Motor function (control of voluntary movement) - Answer -Back edge of frontal lobes
Somatosensory (bodily sensations :heat, cold, pain, pressure, body position) - Answer -
Front edge of parietal lobes
vision (ability to see) - Answer -Occipital lobe
auditory (ability to hear) - Answer -top part of temporal lobe
Speech production (motor speech) - Answer -Broca's area (Frontal lobe, L.
hemisphere)
Speech planning/comprehension (sensory speech) - Answer -Wernicke's Area:
Junction of the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes (L. hemisphere).
biologically- based motive- control of drives to satisfy basic biological needs, such as
hunger/thirst - Answer -hypothalamus, located at the bottom of the brainstem, near
where the brainstem meets the cerebrum
Limbic functions (regulation of emotions) - Answer -Limbic system consisting of a group
of brain areas located near the corpus callosum and extending into the temporal lobes
the spinal cord (ascending tract) - Answer -Carry sensory information from body,
upwards to the brain (touch, skin temp, pain, & joint position)
, the spinal cord (descending tract) - Answer -Carry information from brain downwards to
initiate movement and control body functions
4 main groups of spinal nerves? - Answer -C: Cervical
T: Thoracic
L: Lumbar
S: Sacral
Cervical nerves - Answer -nerves in neck; supply mov't & feeling to arms, neck & upper
trunk. Also control bleeding
Thoracic nerves - Answer -In the upper back; supply the trunk and abdomen
Lumbar nerves and sacral nerves - Answer -nerves in lower back; supply legs, bladder,
bowel and sexual organs
Two parts of the PNS - Answer -Somatic nervous system;
Autonomic nervous system
Somatic Nervous System (SNS) - Answer -Voluntary actions
autonomic nervous system (ANS) - Answer -Involuntary actions
2 parts of the autonomic nervous system - Answer -sympathetic nervous system (fight
or flight); parasympathetic nervous system (vegetative system)
Cluster A PD (odd/eccentric) - Answer -Paranoid, Schizoid, Schizotypal
Cluster B PD (dramatic/erratic) - Answer -Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic
Cluster C PD (anxious/fearful) - Answer -Avoidant, Dependent, Obsessive-Compulsive
Cluster A examples - Answer -Paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal
Cluster B examples - Answer -Antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic
Cluster C examples - Answer -Avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive
paranoid personality disorder - Answer -A pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of
others such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent.
Is reluctant to confide in others because he believes they will use the information
against him. - Answer -paranoid personality disorder
