Document Summary

Prognosis involves asking the question, what does it mean? (what are the long term/ short term affects: axis i- clinical syndromes (e. g. schitzo. , eating disorders) Axis ii personality disorder or mental retardation. Axis iv psychosocial/ environmental problems (e. g. rape, physical abuse) Structure of the nervous system: a dorsal: top of the brain. F medial: middle of brain: a & b coronal section: frontal view. C & d horizontal section: dorsal view. E & f sagittal section: medial view. Parasympathetic division: afferent and efferent nerves are a part of the somatic nervous system which is a part of the peripheral nervous system. Efferent nerves are outgoing nerves, they are that connect the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for arousal and our fight or flight response. An example of this is that the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the dilation of our pupils.
