DAANCE Module 1-Basic Sciences, Exams of Nursing

Information on the basic sciences of the nervous system and cardiovascular system. It covers topics such as neurons, the central and peripheral nervous system, autonomic nervous system, heart anatomy, blood vessels, and respiratory system. It also includes information on the pharynx, dead space, tidal volume, and normal adult respiration. useful for students studying anatomy, physiology, and related fields.

DAANCE Module 1-Basic Sciences

neurons do what - correct answer conduct nerve impulses

what is the synapse - correct answer junction between two neurons

what makes up the central nervous system - correct answer brain and spinal

cord

what three parts make up the brain - correct answer cerebrum, cerebellum,

medulla oblongata

what makes up the peripheral nervous system - correct answer sensory nerves

and motor nerves

How many cranial nerves are there - correct answer 12

what nerve is the trigeminal nerve - correct answer 5

what parts does the trigeminal nerve control - correct answer supplies

sensation to the teeth and jaw

what are the 2 components of the autonomic nervous system? - correct

answer sympathetic nervous system

parasympathetic nervous system

what nervous system "speeds things up" - correct answer sympathetic

what nervous system "slows things down" - correct answer parasympathetic

what nervous system has terminations in all level of the heart - correct

answer sympathetic nervous system

stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system causes what? - correct

answer vasoconstriction in general and increases the heart rate

what nervous system is important in maintaining blood pressure - correct

answer sympathetic

vasomotor is controlled by the - correct answer sympathetic nervous system

the vasomotor does what - correct answer controls the diameter of the blood

vessels

baroreceptors regulate what function - correct answer blood pressure with

positional changes the sympathetic or adrenergic effects of the autonomic nervous system involve what -

correct answer two effects A and B- these effect several tissues and organs

Alpha effect is what (only one alpha) - correct answer vasoconstriction

Beta effect is what( two beta categories) - correct answer seen in bigger

organs, heart and lungs

Beta 1 activity is where - correct answer heart related functions- such as

increased heart rate and strength of contraction

Beta 2 activity is where - correct answer pulmonary function of bronchiolar

dilation (lungs)

Parasympathetic stimulation causes what - correct answer increased activity of

digestive tract and stimulates production of saliva and pharyngeal secretions. (atropine or Robinul can counteract stimulations)

Automaticity - correct answer heart pumps on its own

Heart has four chamber- what are they - correct answer left atrium, right atrium,

left ventricle, right ventricle

Where does the left atrium receive blood from - correct answer from the lungs,

via the pulmonary vein- oxygen rich blood

most heart problems are because of - correct answer faulty or reduced

coronary circulation- the hearts own circulatory system

reduced oxygen supply weakens the heart this condition is called - correct

answer ischemia

what results from ischemia - correct answer angina pectoris- chest pain

poor circulation can also cause - correct answer myocardium infarction

arteries can either ________ or _________ - correct answer vasodilation or

vasoconstriction

diastolic phase is during what part of the blood flow - correct answer when the

ventricles are relaxed

diastolic pressure measures what - correct answer the pressure in the arteries

during the relaxation of the ventricles

systolic phase is what part of the blood flow - correct answer when the

ventricles contract

systolic pressure measures what - correct answer the pressure in the arteries

during the contraction of the ventricles

cardiac cycle - correct answer 60-100 beats/minute

bradycardia - correct answer less than 60

tachycardia - correct answer greater than 100

sinoatrial node (SA) - correct answer located right atrium

pacemaker of the heart

rhythms caused by the SA node are called what - correct answer sinus rhythms

ectopic pacemakers occur when - correct answer when the SA node fails- they

will be produced and take over as the pacemaker

the impulse from the SA Node travels to where - correct answer the

atrioventricular node (AV)

after the AV node is stimulated where does the impulse go - correct

answer bundle of His

where does the impulse go after the bundle of His - correct answer purkinje

fiber system

the Purkinje system does what with the impulse - correct answer fibers that

branch into the right and left ventricles and the ventricles will contract

does the AV node speeds up or slows down the impulse - correct answer slows

down

Stroke Volume - correct answer 60 mL of blood (30 mL = 1 oz)

amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one beat

cardiac output - correct answer total amount of blood pumped by the left

ventricle in one minute

stroke volume x heart rate =________ - correct answer cardiac output

P wave is what - correct answer atrial depolarization

QRS wave is what - correct answer ventricular contraction- ventricular

depolarization

T wave is what - correct answer Ventricular repolarization

makes the ventricle muscle ready for a new contraction

QRS complexes can be counted to determine - correct answer heart rate

lingual artery supplies where - correct answer tongue and floor of mouth

facial artery supplies - correct answer the face- located behind mandible

how much RBC are in blood

(erythrocytes) - correct answer 40 %

Hematocrit - correct answer percentage of blood volume made up of RBC

male 42-52% female 37-48%
