Neurons
This is the part that houses the nucleus and contains genetic info
cell body
These 2 parts make up the CNS
brain and spinal cord
This can be temporary or long term and can be caused by genetics, chemical imbalances, medications and health problems
depression
This is the last thing to be put on and the first thing to be taken off
gloves
This is a part of the brainstem and helps manage breathing but not heart rate
pons
This helps convey the nerve impulse rapidly and protects the axon
myelin sheath
The PNS contains 2 different types of nerves: one has 12 and the other has 31
cranial and spinal
This eating disorder may be harder to detect due to not rapidly losing or gaining weight
bulimia
This specific mask is needed for airborne precautions
N-95
The largest part of the brain that processes memory and learning
cerebrum
Electrical impulses flow through this main structure
axon
This is the "highway" for incoming and outgoing messages to the brain
spinal cord
This "fear center" of the brain may be hyperactive in people with anxiety and PTSD
amygdala
What do you do when your glove rips during care?
Replace them immediately
This is at the top of the brainstem and processes visual and auditory signals to adjust the body from stimuli
midbrain
Receives and processes incoming information from other neurons
Dendrites
The brain is protected by 3 thin layers of tissue called
meninges (dura, arachnoid and pia)
This may impact and delay brain development by 3 years and a smaller amygdala may contribute
ADHD
This bacterial infection can be found in many locations such as a wound, bladder or blood and requires contact precautions
MRSA
If this part is damaged, it can lead to fatal respiratory and heart failure
medulla oblongata
These are at the end of a neuron and help relay the messages from one neuron to the next by connecting to the dendrites
synapses
What 3 parts make up the brainstem?
midbrain, pons, medulla
This system inside the brain is known to have a high impact in mental health disorders
Limbic system
Doctor Smith is caring for Mrs. Jones, who was recently diagnosed with influenza. Which type of mask should he put on before entering her room?
surgical
All senses except for smell are processed here first before being sent to other parts of the brain
thalamus
