Neurology/Psychiatry Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cranial nerve I | Olfactory nerve (smell) |
| Cranial nerve II | Optic nerve (vision) |
| Cranial nerve III | Oculomotor nerve (movement of eyeball, eyelids, and iris - to change the pupil size) |
| Cranial nerve IV | Trochlear nerve (movement of eyeball) |
| Cranial nerve V | Trigeminal nerve (sensation in eyelids, scalp, face, lips, and tongue. Movement of the muscles for chewing. 3 nerves: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves. |
| Cranial nerve VI | Abducens muscle (movement of the eye) |
| Cranial nerve VII | Facial nerve (taste from tongue, control of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Movement of facial muscles.) |
| Cranial nerve VIII | Vestibulocochlear nerve (hearing and balance - auditory nerve) |
| Cranial nerve IX | Glossopharyngeal nerve (taste - back of tongue. Movement of muscles for swallowing. Controls parotid salivary glands.) |
| Cranial nerve X | Vagus nerve (taste - soft palate and throat. Sensation - ears, diaphragm, and organs of chest and abdomen. Controls heart beat and smooth muscles - bronchi/GI tract. "Wanderer nerve" |
| Cranial nerve XI | Accessory nerve (movement of muscles for swallowing, the vocal cords, and muscles of the neck and upper back. Two of its branches help the vagus nerve. |
| Cranial nerve XII | Hypoglossal nerve (Movement of the tongue) |
| Autonomic nervous system | Heart muscle, smooth muscle, glands |
| Somatic nervous system | Voluntary skeletal muscles |
| Neurotransmitters | Chemicals that relay messages from one neuron to another. |
| Norepinephrine | Controls involuntary processes (Ex: Heart and respiratory rate) when the body is active or exercising. |
| Increased levels of norepinephrine cause: | aggression, mania, and infatuation (foolish desire to want something). |
| Decreased levels of norepinephrine cause: | depression |
| Epinephrine | "Fight or flight" response, occurs during stress, anxiety, fear, or anger. |
| Increased levels of epinephrine cause: | anxiety, social phobia, performance phobia, and panic attacks |
| Dopamine | Cocaine, narcotic drugs & alcohol increase the amount of dopamine, and it causes euphoria and excitement "HIGH." |
| Increased levels of dopamine cause: | Infatuation Note: An increased level in the limbic lobe and a decreased level in the frontal lobe causes paranoia. |
| Decreased levels of dopamine cause: | schizophrenia and depression |
| Serotonin | neurotransmitter of brain and spinal cord |
| Decreased levels of serotonin cause: | depression Note: A decreased level of serotonin and an increased level of norepinephrine causes violent behavior |
| GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) | inhibitory neurotransmitter |
| Decreased levels of GABA cause: | anxiety |
| Tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure | Unconsciousness with excessive motor activity. Alternates between excessive muscle tone with rigidity (tonic) and jerking muscle contractions (clonic)in extremities with tongue biting. Usually lasts 1 to 2 minutes. |
| Absence (petit mal) seizure | Impaired consciousness with slight or no muscle activity. Includes vacant staring, repetitive blinking, or facial tics. Lasts 5 to 15 seconds. The patient is unaware of the seizure and can have several per day. |
| Complex partial (psychomotor) seizure | There is some degree of impairment of consciousness. Involuntary muscle contractions. There can be automatisms (lip smacking). Lasts 1 to 2 minutes. |
| Simple partial (focal motor) seizure | No impairment of consciousness. The patient is aware of seizure and has involuntary motor movements of hand or turning of head. There may be some sensory hallucinations. Usually lasts 1 to 2 minutes. |
| Limbic lobe (brain) | Located along the medial edges of right and left cerebral hemispheres, superior to the corpus callosum (bridge that connects right and left cerebral cortexes.) |
| Limbic system | Limbic lobe, thalamus,and hypothalamus. It links the unconscious mind to the conscious mind. |
| Thalamus Location | Located in the center of the cerebrum and forms the walls of the 3rd ventricle. |
| Thalamus Functions | Relay station - receives sensory information from the 5 senses and relays it to the midbrain. Relays sensory information to the cerebrum where it is analyzed and compared with memories. |
| Hypothalamus Location | Located below the thalamus, forms the floor and part of walls of 3rd ventricle. |
| Hypothalamus Functions | Controls emotions of pleasure, excitement, fear, anger, sexual arousal, and bodily responses to these emotions. Also contains the feeding center. Triggers the "fight or flight" response to danger. (epinephrine) |
| Hippocampus | elongated, curving structure with two heads, one is located in the temporal lobe. The two tails join as the fornix in the center of the brain. Stores long-term memories and helps compare present and past emotions and experiences. |
| Amygdaloid bodies | almond-shaped area in each temporal lobe. Interpret facial expressions, new social situations, and identify situations that could be dangerous. Integrate sensory info., thoughts, and long-term memories. Most active during emotions, fear, anger, |
| Fornix | located along the floor of each lateral ventricle. Connects hippocampus in each temporal lobe to the thalamus and to amygdaloid bodies. |
| Frontal lobe | Predicts future events/consequences. Exerts conscious control over skeletal muscles. Gustatory cortex (taste). Speech center (muscles for speech). Located at the front of the head (forehead). |
| Occipital lobe | Receives and analyzes sensory information from the eyes. Contains visual cortex for sense of sight. Vision. Located at back of the head above the cervical spine. |
| Parietal lobe | Receives and analyzes sensory information about temperature, touch, pressure, vibration, and pain from skin/organs. Located at back of the head above occipital lobe on both sides of head. Somatosensory area (functions of body sensations). |
| Temporal lobe | Auditory cortex - hearing, olfactory cortex - smell. Located on both sides of the head near the ears at temples. |
| acrophobia | fear of heights |
| agoraphobia | fear of crowds or public places |
| arachnophobia | fear of spiders |
| claustrophobia | fear of closed in spaces |
| microphobia | fear of germs |
| ophidiophobia | fear of snakes |
| social phobia | fear of being embarrassed or humiliated in front of others |
| thanatophobia | fear of death |
| xenophobia | fear of strangers |
| triskaidekaphobia | fear of the number 13. |
