Nervous System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Autonomic | Self-controlling or involuntary |
| Autonomic nervous system | Division of the nervous system that controls the involuntary body functions; consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions |
| Axon | A part of a nerve cell that conduct impulses away from a cell body |
| Blood-brain barrier | A barrier form by special characteristics of capillaries to prevent certain chemical from moving to the brain |
| Dendrite | A part of a neuron that branch out to bring impulse to the cell body |
| efferent | the conduction of electrical impulse away from central nervous system to the body |
| Monoamine Oxidase | an enzyme( include MAO-A and MAO-B) found in the nerve terminal, the neuron, and liver cell; it inactivates chemical such tyramine, carecholamines, serotonin, and certain medication |
| Neuron | the functional unit of the nervous system, which include the cell body, dendrites, axon, and terminals |
| Parasympathetic nervous system | Division of the autonomic nervous system that functions during restful situation, "breed or feed" part of the autonomic nervous system |
| Peripheral nervous system | The division of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord |
| Sympathetic nervous system | the division of the autonomic nervous system that function during stressful situation; "fight of flight" part of the autonomic nervous system |
| Afferent | The direction of neuronal impulse from the body toward the central nervous system. |
| Somatic | The motor neurons that control voluntary actions of the skeletal muscles. |
| Cholinergic agents are stimulants of which system? | Parasympathetic system |
| Afferent and efferent fibers have the function of | Relaying messages to and from the central nervous system. |
| Neurons are made of the following components except | Amino acids |
| The area where a neurotransmitter crosses over to another neuron is called | The cell body |
| All of the following are neutrotransmitter called | Succinylcholine |
| Which of the following drugs is not used as a smooth muscle relaxant? | Cerebyx |
| Which of the following system activities is not increased during a sympathetic response? | Digestive system |
| The part of the brain that controls memory, reason, and language skills is the | Cerebrum |
| The area that controls breathing and cardiac functions is the | Medulla oblongata |
| The hypothalamus functions as the .... of the body. | Thermostat and Appetite relay center. |
| Which of the following medications used for Parkinson's disease can pass the blood-brain barrier? | Dopamine and Levodopa |
| Which of the statement describing dopamine is inaccurate? | Dopamine allows for smooth movements of the muscle system. |
| Which of the following classes of drugs is used most often for epileptic seizures? | Barbiturates; Benzodiazepines; Hydantoins |
| Which of the types of seizures listed normally is caused by not taking medications? | Tonic-clonic; Absence seizures; and Atonic type seizures. |
| The most common reason neuromuscular blocking agents are used is to .... | Keep the patient from fighting a respirator (ventilator); and Stop all pain and movement while the patient is being intubated. |
| ... is converted into norepinephrine within the .... system. | Dopamine, central nervous system. |
| Which of the following statements is not true concerning the sympathetic system? | Drugs that activate this system are called cholinergics. |
| Of the components listed, which one is not housed in brainstem? | Hypothalamus and thalamus. |
| The name of enzyme that is responsible for destroying norepinephrine is | Monoamine oxidase. |
| .... affect the sympathetic system, whereas .... affect the parasympathetic system. | Adrenergics, cholinergics |
| The smallest functional part of the central nervous | Neuron |
| The largest area of the brain is the | Cerebrum |
| The midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata are all part of the | Brainstem |
| Which of the following is not a main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic system? | Acetylcholine. |
| A patient suffering from premature labor could be given | Yutopar |
| Dry mouth and inhibition of urine output are side effects of | Anticholinergics. |
| Which of the following is not a generalized seizure? | Status epilepticus. |
| Besides taking their medications, individuals with epilepsy can help themselves by | |
| An abnormal loss of memory and basic mental function is called | Dementia |
| A condition associated with loss or a deficiency of dopamine is | Parkinson's disease |
| The human nervous system is a simple body system. | False |
| The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. | True |
| The nerve impulses are transmitted by various chemicals, called neurotransmitters. | True |
| Most drugs that can pass through the blood-brain barrier are water soluble. | False - Fat solube only |
| The somatic nervous system is part of the CNS | False |
| The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are part of the autonomic nervous system. | True |
| Individuals with Parkinson's disease have low levels of dopamine. | True |
| Differences can be found between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. | True |
| Skeletal muscle relaxants are not meant for long-term use. | True |
| Patient with epilepsy need to take their medication only after a seizure. | False - Take on time everyday |
| Gray matter makes up the brain, and white matter makes up the spinal cord. | False - Gray make up neuron cell body and dendrite. White -> nerves fibers |
| Homeostasis is when the body is in a sympathetic response mode. | False |
| The peripheral nervous system can be divided into two divisions. | True |
| The thalamus and hypothalamus link the nervous system to the endocrine system. | True |
| The blood-brain barrier serves to prevent large molecules (such as toxins) from passing into the central nervous system. | True |
| Carbidopa is an ingredient added to Sinemet to extend the life of the drug. | False - only with Levoclopa |
| Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a degenerative disease of the motor cells of the central nervous system that affects the myelin sheaths surrounding the neuronal axon. | False |
| Tonic seizure involve of the muscles, whereas clonic is rapid jerking | False - Clonic is muscle relaxation |
| Neuromuscular blocking agents block pain perception and muscle movement. | False - it doesn't sedate or affect pain. |
| Drugs that mimic the cholinergic neurotransmitters of the sympathetic system also are called sympathomimetics | True |
