Question
Answer
consists of the brain and spinal cord   Central Nervous System (CNS)  
🗑
consists of the afferent and efferent system   Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)  
🗑
composed of the nerves and sense organs that bring information to the CNS   afferent system  
🗑
made up of the nerves that dispatch information from the CNS   efferent system  
🗑
regulates activities of structures that are not under voluntary control and below the level of consciousness. Controls respiration, circulation, digestion, body temperature, metabolism, blood glucose, pupil size, GI mobility, sweating   Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)  
🗑
concerned with skeletal muscles, which perform voluntary actions   Somatic Nervous  
🗑
major neurotransmitters   Acetylcholine, GABA, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Glutamate  
🗑
neurotransmitter that starts movement   Acetylcholine  
🗑
neurotransmitter that regulates the message delivery system of the brain   GABA  
🗑
Neurotransmitter that stop movement and change mood   Dopamine  
🗑
Neurotransmitters that is the fight or flight   Epinephrine (adrenaline) and Norepinephrine  
🗑
Neurotransmitter that is emotional responses to certain stimuli   Serotonin  
🗑
Neurotransmitter that is the learning and memory   Glutamate  
🗑
constrict blood vessels   alpha receptors  
🗑
expands the blood vessels, lower blood pressure   alpha blocker  
🗑
increase the heart rate and contractive force of the heart   Beta-1 receptors  
🗑
influence bronchodilation   Beta- 2 receptors  
🗑
not good for asthma   Beta blockers  
🗑
Constipation, decrease sweating, decreased urination, dilated pupil, dry eyes, dry mouth   side effects of anticholinergic drugs  
🗑
effects of anesthesia that all nerve tissue function in the peripheral system is depressed   Nervous system  
🗑
effect of anesthesia that generally irritates the respiratory tract and salivary glands, causing increased mucus secretion, coughing, and spasm.   Respiratory system  
🗑
effect of anesthesia that causes urinary retention   Endocrine System  
🗑
effect of anesthesia that causes the activity of cardiac muscle to reduce which will reduce blood pressure   Cardiovascular system  
🗑
effect of anesthesia that causes muscle relaxation   Skeletal Muscular system  
🗑
effect of anesthesia that can cause nausea and vomiting   GI system  
🗑
the goals of anesthesia are:   amnesia, adequate muscle relaxation, adequate ventilation, and pain control  
🗑
general anesthesia is characterized by 4 reversible actions   unconsciousness, analgesia, skeletal muscle relaxation, and amnesia  
🗑
alleviate pain and depress the respiratory center   narcotics  
🗑
most used preoperative sedatives, relieve anxiety and act as an anticonvulsant   benzodiazepines  
🗑
antiemetic properties and have sedative effects   phenothiazines  
🗑
rare but serious side effects of anesthesia and is associated with a marked increase in intracellular calcium levels. rapid rise in body temperature, irregular heart beat and breathing   Malignant hyperthermia  
🗑
treatment of malignant hyperthermia involves the IV fusion of __________   Dantrium  
🗑
not a potent anesthetic and is usually used with other agents   nitrous oxide  
🗑
a mild stimulant of salivary secretions and high concentrations may stimulate seizures in susceptible patients, causes uterine relaxation which prohibits its use during labor   Ethrane  
🗑
produces a high incidence of moderate to severe upper respiratory irritation for children and is therefor not recommended for use in the pediatric population for induction of anesthesia   Suprane  
🗑
Other inhaled anesthetics   Forane and Ultane  
🗑
used extensively for open-heart surgery. it also comes as a lozenge and used in children   Fentanyl  
🗑
patients must be continuously monitored   Lusedra

🗑
changes urine color to green, pink, and rust. Must be discarded after 12 hours. stable in glass containers   Diprivan  
🗑
in patient who are awake these agents may cause excitement or delirium in the presence of pain   Pentothal  
🗑
Other injectable anesthetics   Amidate and Versed  
🗑
antagonizes benzodiazepines   romazicon  
🗑
antagonist that competes for the opiate receptor sites and is a narcotic   Narcan  
🗑
paralyze the patient skeletal muscles, which enables the surgeon to operate with greater accuracy and safety, should always be flagged   neuromuscular blocking agents  
🗑
Neuromuscular blocking agent "sux"   Succinylcholine  
🗑
anticholinesterase agents   Mestinon  
🗑
produces a transient and reversible loss of sensation in a defined area of the body   local anesthesia  
🗑
in response to the activity of the anesthetic, functions is lost in the following order:   Pain perception, temperature sensation, touch sensation, proprioception,skeletal muscle tone  
🗑
this should not be used as a vasoconstrictor in areas of fingers, toes, ears, nose, or external genitals   Epinephrine  
🗑
comes as a patch, worn for 12 hours and then removed for 12 hours   Lidocaine  
🗑
what is considered as the fifth vital sign   pain  
🗑
pain that usually disappears when the body heals   acute  
🗑
pain that lasts for more than three months   chronic nonmalignant  
🗑
accompanies malignant disease   chronic malignant  
🗑
physiologic responses to pain   catabolism, delayed stomach and bowel function, impaired immune response, increased autonomic activity, negative emotional response, water retention  
🗑
pain modulating chemical that tends to cause insensibility or stupor   narcotic  
🗑
narcotics have the following effects   analgesia, sedation, euphoria and dysphoria  
🗑
