Stimuli that is required to elicit a motor response on a pt. who is not following commands.
What is noxious stimuli?
200
Controls reasoning, abstraction, concentration, and executive control.
What is the frontal lobe?
200
MAP-ICP
What is the CPP?
200
unequal pupils
What is anisocoria?
200
where CSF is before it passes into the third ventricle.
What are the lateral ventricles?
200
involves the trunk and central portion of the body.
What is central noxious stimuli?
300
Responsible for expressive speech
What is Broca's area
300
If the volume of one of the intracranial constituents increases, a reciprocal decrease in the volume of one or both of the others must occur or ICP will increase.
What is the Monro-Kellie hypothesis?
300
if these are all intact, pt. has full EOM's.
What are cranial nerves III, IV, VI?
300
CSF enters here by way of the foramin of Monro
What is the third ventricle?
300
a reflex response only.
What is peripheral noxious stimuli?
400
awareness of parts of the body, orientation in space, discernment of spatial relationships.
What is the parietal lobe?
400
restlessness, mild confusion, agitation, sluggish pupils, change in vision, hemiparesis.
What are signs of increased ICP?
400
the largest cranial nerve.
What is the trigeminal nerve?
400
this ventricle is closest to the brainstem.
What is the fourth ventricle?
400
consists of three categories: eye opening, best verbal response, and best motor response.
What is the GCS?
500
Responsible for balance, equilibrium, and regulation of muscle tone.
What is the cerebellum?
500
when the cerebellar tonsils are displaced through the foramen magnum.
What is tonsillar herniation?
500
responsible for the gag reflex.
What is Glossopharyngeal nerve or cranial nerve IX?
500
the structure that connects the third and fourth ventricles.
What is the cerebral aqueduct?
500
results from damage to the upper brain stem in which pt. extremeties are extended stiffly.
