system of the adult
c. Conduct and document (EMR) a health history and physical examination of the adult while applying
the principles of caring, therapeutic communication, interprofessional communication, and

digestive organs, and glands
SNS = - Answer: activated during stress; flight for fight response
,PNS = - Answer: controls vegetative function; functions associated with conserving energy such as
decreasing heart rate and force of myocardial contraction; decreasing BP and respirations; stimulation
of peristalsis

Peripheral Nervous System - Answer: * Cranial and spinal nerves
Autonomic Nervus System - Answer: * Sympathetic
* Parasympathetic
A & P Review- Protective Structures:
Skull Protects brain - Answer: * Foramen magnum is large oval opening at base of skull in occipital bone.
- Spinal cord extends through from medulla oblongata.
* Other foramina at base for entrance and exit of paired cranial nerves and cerebral blood vessels
* Meninges, three layers between skull and brain
- Dura mater, outer double layer
- Arachnoid, middle meningeal layer
- Pia mater, inner meningeal layer
Between arachnoid and pia mater is subarachnoid space where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates.
Meninges Image - Answer:
Meninges:
Subarachnoid Space - Answer: * Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates
, A & P Review- Protective Structures:
CSF is colorless, odorless fluid containing (6) - Answer: * Glucose
* Electrolytes
* Oxygen
* Water
* Carbon dioxide
* Leukocytes
A & P Review- Brain - Answer: * Brain consists of cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem.
* Carotid arteries supply most of blood to brain, and branch off into posterior cerebral, middle cerebral,
and anterior cerebral arteries.
- Remaining blood flows through two vertebral arteries and into posterior and anterior communicating
arteries that supply blood through circle of Willis.
- Blood leaves brain through venous sinuses that empty into jugular veins.
Carotid Arteries - Answer: supply most of blood to brain, and branch off into posterior cerebral, middle
cerebral, and anterior cerebral arteries.
Internal Structure of the Brain - Answer:
Cerebrum - Answer: largest part of brain consisting of two hemispheres, each divided into four lobes:
frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe.
Frontal Lobe - Answer: * contains primary motor cortex and functions related to voluntary motor activity
* also controls intellectual function, awareness of self, personality, and autonomic responses related to
emotion.
