CVD, PD, MS

Question 1

What is cerebral thrombosis?

Answer 1

When cerebral artery is clogged by clot/cholesterol usually because of atherosclerosis, which is caused by ischemia (lack of blood flower), which is caused by anoxia (lack of oxygen), which is caused by infarction/necrosis (death of brain cells)-too little blood

Question 2

CVA

Answer 2

Cerebrovascular accident-blood vessel that carries oxygen/nutrient sot brain is either blocked/burst

Question 3

Ischemia

Answer 3

Lack of blood flow

Anoxia

Answer 4

lack of oxygen

Question 5

Infarction/necrosis

Answer 5

death of brain cells

Question 6

cerebral embolism

Answer 6

a clot form in the body that becomes dislodge and travels and occludes an arterial brain blood vessel causing ischemia

Question 7

cerebral hemorrhage

Answer 7

Is when a bubble-like area of the blood vessel (aneurysm) ruptures & burst from build-up of pressure of excess blood

loses vision in half of each eye

Question 20

left-side hemiplegia (aka right CVA)

Answer 20

left side paralysis (paresthesia), impulsive behavior, more dangerous than left CVA

Question 21

right-side hemiplegia (aka left CVA)

Answer 21

aphasia+++, apraxia, cautious behavior

Question 23

TIA

Answer 23

transient ischemic attack; warning stroke

Question 24

decubitus ulcers/pressure sores

Answer 24

lack of sensory sensation, decrease blood flow risk skin breakdown & infection

spasticity, which dis?

Answer 25

exaggerated muscle tone (dig nails into the skin) (CVA)

Question 26

flaccidity, which dis?

Answer 26

Question 27

Parkinson's disease

Answer 27

progressive degenerative disease of the brain, characterized by tremor @ rest, muscular rigidity, slow movement, and posture instability

Question 28

Cause of PD

Answer 28

depletion of dopamine in basial ganglia deteriorates nerve message to muscles (movment control)

Question 29

Signs & symptoms of PD

Answer 29

1. involuntary Tremor (decr. purposeful, incr. stress); 2. rigidity 3 bradykinesia - slowness in all motor voluntary movements

MS

Answer 34

Multiple sclerosis - a chronic, progressive disease of the CNS, interferes brain's ability to control function like vision, muscular coordination & speech

Question 35

What is the pathology of MS?

Answer 35

disease attack myelin sheath causing inflammation causing distorted nerve impulse

Question 36
