Document Summary

Central nervous system: brain and spinal cord; acts as integrating center. Peripheral nervous system : neural tissue everywhere else besides brain and spinal cord; allows for communication to and from cns. Spinal nerves (pns) : carry info to and from the spinal cord. Cranial nerves (cns) : carry info to and from the brain. Nerve: collection of axons in the peripheral nervous system; can carry both sensory and motor neurons. Tract : a collection of axons in the central nervous system; nerve of the cns. Ganglion: a collection of neuronal cell bodies within peripheral nervous system. Nucleus: collection of neuronal cell bodies within central nervous system; ganglion of cns. White matter: nerve tissue wrapped in myelin (axons); myelinated axons (fatty) Gray matter: unmyelinated (usually cell bodies, but also dendrites and some other glial cells) Afferent neuron: sensory neurons; transmit info from sensory receptors toward cns; nearly all unipolar; have ganglia in pns.

65. Where is bloodstream PCO2 monitored?

(a) lungs (b) aortic and carotid bodies (c) hypothalamus

66. Is PCO2 measured within the CNS?

(a) no (b) yes, within the brainstem (c) yes, within the hypothalamus

67. Is PO2 measured within the CNS?

(a) no (b) yes, within the brainstem (c) yes, throughout the brain

68. Glomus organs are innervated by sensory neurons. Are these sensory neurons stimulated byneurotransmitters released from Type I glomus cells?

yes or no

69. Does the structure of glomus organs enable direct sampling of arterial blood?

yes or no

70. Glomus organs are innervated by myelinated axons. Such axons are found within cranial nerve pairs IX andX (glossopharyngeal and vagus). Which type of glial cell myelinates axons within these nerve pairs?

(a) oligodendrocyte (b) fibrous astrocyte (c) Schwann cell

71. The sensory neuron axons that innervate glomus organs enter the CNS via the left and right solitary tracts. Where are the bodies of these sensory neurons?

(a) within the glomus organ (b) a ganglion at the base of each nerve (c) within the brainstemâs solitary nuclei

72. The term hypercapnia denotes elevated bloodstream PCO2. This condition induces acidemia, i.e. an arterialpH < 7.4. By convention, the underlying physiological reason (or process) is called acidosis. Consequently,acidemia can arise from either metabolic or respiratory acidosis. Ketogenesis and hypoventilation affordexamples of such processes. If arterial pH reaches 7.0, then CNS depression and coma follow. Acidemia iscountered by an autonomic reflex. Where does central integration occur for this reflex?

(a) sensory cortex (b) brainstem (c)hypothalamus

13. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are experienced by many people during their lifetimes. Urinary tract infections can involve any bacterial infection of the urinary system structures; the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through the urethra and traveling upward into the body. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort when urinating to extreme pain and the loss of blood during urination. They occur more frequently in women than men, and are often treated by antibiotics in addition to home remedies, such as drinking more water and drinking cranberry juice.

Based on what you have learned about the cause of urinary tract infections, which of the following precautions would help to prevent reoccurring infections?

Taking pain medication when symptoms occur

Placing a hot pack on the abdomen when symptoms occur

Practicing good hygiene Exercising regularly

14. The nervous system is divided into two major divisions: the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. Those divisions have structures that can be classified as belonging to two different subdivisions: the Somatic and the Autonomic systems. The nervous system can be summarized as a complex system of interconnected nerves and special cells called neurons that are used to transmit information (by means of small electrical impulses). Use the information in the table below to help answer questions about the nervous system. Division Organs & Structures Functions Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain Spinal Cord Nerves This is the bodyâs assessment and communication center. It analyzes the information received from the sensory neurons and responds. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Sensory Neurons Ganglia (clusters of neurons) Nerves that connect to one another and to the CNS The sensory neurons react to physical stimuli such as light, sound, heat, and pressure, and transmit that information to the CNS. Subdivisions Description Examples Somatic The Somatic system is comprised of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the muscles of the body and sensory receptors in the skin. Reactions to physical stimuli like heat or light. Using your hand to touch Eating food Autonomic The Autonomic system largely involuntary. This system controls the unconscious functions of the body. Breathing Blood Pressure

Feeling overwhelmed or startled by exposure to very loud noises is likely a reaction to information collected by which subdivision of the nervous system:

Somatic

Autonomic

15. The thyroid gland is perhaps the most well-known member of the pancreatic system. Many adults are screened for thyroid problems during routine physical exams. This butterfly shaped gland is found at the base of the neck and releases hormones that affect the bodyâs metabolism (the way the body uses energy). The thyroidâs two main hormones are T3 and T4, and they affect many body functions, including: â¢ Breathing â¢ Heart rate â¢ Central and peripheral nervous systems â¢ Body weight â¢ Muscle strength â¢ Menstrual cycles â¢ Body temperature â¢ Cholesterol levels Two common disorders associated with the thyroid include hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Some of the symptoms associated with these disorders are listed in the table below. Hyperthyroidism (Too many hormones released) Hypothyroidism (Too few hormones released) Anxiety Irritability or moodiness Nervousness, hyperactivity Sweating or sensitivity to high temperatures Hand trembling (shaking) Hair loss Missed or light menstrual periods Trouble sleeping Tiredness and fatigue Difficulty concentrating Dry skin and hair Depression Sensitivity to cold temperature Frequent, heavy periods Joint and muscle pain A patient complains of arthritis-like pain in the joints of her hands, but tests for arthritis come back negative. The doctor then suggests a thyroid function test. The doctor is most likely concerned about:

High levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body

Low levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body
