Screening Tools
Genogram

Back 3

used to track disorders though families, may predict odds of inheriting disorders

Screening Tools
Growth Charts

Back 4

Determine where child is in relationship to other children. Usually expressed in %, based on height and weight

Screening Tools
DDST

Back 5

Denver 2-child development schreening tool. designed to assess/monitor normal child development. Early detection of developmental problems

Concerns of Parents

Back 6

Guilt
Exhaustion
Other children in the home
financial concerns
fear of unknown and inadequate care

Front 7

Neurons

Back 7

in order to kill a neuron, you have to kill the cell body

Front 8

cell body(soma)

Back 8

contols the metabolic activity of the cell

Front 9

Dendrites

Back 9

branched fibers that carry impulses to the cell body

Front 10

Axons

Back 10

carries information away from the cell body

Front 11

neurotransmittters

Back 11

chemicals that either enhance or inhibit the impulse across the synapse

Front 12

Dura mater

Back 12

tough layer beneath the skull consists of two layers

Front 13

Arachnoid membrane

Back 13

delicate, fragile, membrane that loosely surrounds the brain

Front 14

Pia Mater

Back 14

inner most delicate layer rich in small blood vessels

Front 15

CSF

Back 15

cushion for the brain, very important, allows a little give

Front 16

Blood brain barrier

Back 16

regulates the transport of nutrients, ions, water, and waste products, through selective permeabilility

Front 17

Arterial bleeds

Back 17

fast, life threatening

Front 18

Venous bleeds

Back 18

slow bleed, can take a long time to show symptoms

Front 19

For adequate life sustaining repirations

Back 19

pons and medulla must be working

Front 20

Medulla Oblongata

Back 20

Decussation(crossing of motor fibers)
neuron centers that control involunary functions(swallowing, vomiting, coughing, vasoconstriction,, respirations, originate (IX, X, XI, XII)

Front 21

Pons

Back 21

make respiration rate & rhythm
originate( V, VI, VII, VIII)

Front 22

Midbrain

Back 22

relay center for sight and hearing
originate( III & IV)

Front 23

Reticular Formation

Back 23

Helps with coordination

Front 24

RAS

Back 24

required for consciousness
upper portion-sleep wake cycle(they can open eyes)
lower portion-if damaged your dead

Front 25

cerebellum (behind pons)

Back 25

influences muscle ton associated with equilibrium, oriented in space, location, and postures to ensure syncronization of muscle action.

Front 26

Dienchephalon

Back 26

Lowest structure of the cerebrum, lies on top of the brainstem and surrounds the third ventricle. Originates (I & II)

Front 27

Thalamus

Back 27

Relay station

Front 28

Hypothalamus

Back 28

Contols appetitie, water balance, temperature, blood pressure, sleep, and emotions. Controls pituitary function

Front 29

Epithalamus

Back 29

Role in physical growth and sexual development. Often calcifies in early adulthood.

Front 30

subthalamus

Back 30

Integrated with extrapyramidal tracts of the ANS and the basal ganglia-for unconscious movement

Front 31

Pituitary Gland(hypophysis)

Back 31

Regulates the hormone production of all other endocrine organs

Front 32

Internal Capsule

Back 32

contains both afferent and efferent fibers and is located in the area of the basal nuclei. Vas majority of where motor neurons pass commonly damaged by strokes- often effects opposite side

Front 33

Basal Ganglia

Back 33

located deep w/in the cerebral hemispheres. Function through the extrapyramidal (involuntary) motor pathways to coordinate with voluntary movements
