Neuro sucks

QuestionAnswer
CNS consists of Brain and Spinal cord
PNS Nerves that connect the Brain and Spinal cord with the peropheral structures of the body
In PNS Sensory fibers enter the dorsal root (posteior)
PNS motor fibers exit the ventral root anterior
Spinal Nerve joining of sensory and motor "mixed root"
Cranial Nerves are compo sed of sensory and motor fibers
Visceromotor part of CNS and PNS
VIsceromotor AKA Autonomic
Autonomic regulates motor responses the body cannot consciously control
Autonomic consits of nerous that innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular epithelium (cells of endocrine glands)
Nervous tissue is distributed thoughtout most tissues of the body
All nevous tissue shares a common histology 1. neurons 2. Glial Cell
Glial Cells specialized non-neuronal supporting cells of CNS
Nuerons specialized to receive info transmit electrical impules, and influence other nuerons and target tissue
Structure of Neurons Cell body, Dendrites, and Axon
Cell body gray matter of CNS
Dendites finger-like projections that carry info to the cell body
Axon carry electrical impules away from cell body-white matter of CNS,
Spinal Cord location vertebral canal
Spinal cord rostrally continous with medualla oblongata
Spinal Cord link between PNS and brain
Spinal cords conveys, and carries conveys sensory info from body wall, extemities, and gut-carries motor impules to these areas
Spinal cord impules enter and exit ?? pairs of spinal nerves 31 pairs
Spinal cord contains sensory, motor, ascending, and desending, and tracks
Ascending pathways of spinal cord carry sensory info to higher centers
Spinal cord descending pathways effect activity of neurons in spinal cord gray matter (cell body)
Spinal cord continous with meduall at foramen magnum
Meddual is the most_____part of the brain caudal
Medulla consists of Neruons, acending and desending tracts,
Ascending tracts of Medulla involved in carrying sensory inffor
medulla and desending tracts involved in motor functions
Some of medualls neuronal bodies organized into nuclei, gangli, cluster
Medualls contains Cranial Nerves Portions of TVS-trgeminal, vestibulocochlear, and spinal accessory, and (VHG) Vagus, hypoglossal,and glossopharyngeal
Medulla regulates heart rate, respiration, and various visceral functions
Similartity of Pons and Cerebellum Embryonically orginate from same neuronal tube
In mature adult Pons forms Brainstem
In Mature adult Cerebellum is located Suprasegemental to structure, and posterior to brainstem
Pon contains crainal nerves TV FA-Portrions-Trigemial and vestibulocochlear
Pons transvered with ascending and desending tracts
Anterior region of Pons contains large populations of nuerons (pontine nuclei that form a relay between the cerebral cortex, and ceerebellum and dsecending motor fibers
Cerebellum fuctions major part of Motor system-coodrinates activity of individual muscle groups to produce smooth, purposeful, synergistic movements
Midbrain is link between forebrain and brainstem
Acending and descending pathways to from the forbrain must past though midbrain
Midbrain CN OTT occulomotor, trochlear, and trigeminal
Midbrain fuctions Visual and Auditory reflexes, motor function, and transmision of pain, and viseral functions
Forbrain is composed of cerebral hemispheres and basal nuclei and thalmus
Thalmus composed of serveral regions Hypothalmus, sub, Epi, and Dorsal
Thalamus is____to midbrain rostral
Thalmus is surronded by cerbral hemisphere
Tthalamus can only be seen brain cut in cronal or axial planes
What passes thought thalmus all sensory info that reaches cerbral cortex, except olfaction, pass thru thalmus
Thalmus functions receives sensory info(temp, pain, vision) and sends to specific regions to be decocded
What receives imput from pathways relating info regarding postion sense, and tendon tension- Thalmus reievie imput, and sends this info to cerebral cotex to allow for smooth purpose ful movements
Hypothalmus size and function small, but functions in sexual behavior, feeding, hormonal secretions of pituitarty, body temp regulation, and visceromotor functions
Largest and most obvious parts of brain Cerebral hemispheres-2
Cerebral Hemisperes composed of 3 Cerebral cortex, Subcortical white matter, and Basal nuclei
Cerebral cortex composed of layer of neural cell bodies
Subcortical white matter co mposed of myelinated axons that carry info to/from
Basal nuclei composed of nerouonal cells bodies invloved in motor function
Functional system set of neurons linked together-pathways-cover more than one region
Regions atatomics parts of CNS-structures
Sinals that influcence hand movements orginal in Cerbral cortex
Injury to midbrain cause motor problems in hand and parial paralysis of eye
Brain injury that results in only upper extemity means the lesion is only of one side of the brain or brainstem
Partail paralysis of upper extremity coupled with problems with eye movement means lesion in midbrain
What are best located in lesions cranial lesions
Deficits on same side of head and body mean lesions are lesions in cerebral hemisphere
Deficits on 1 side of head, and opposite on body indicate lesion in lesion in brainstem=crossed deficts
Deficits of only the body indicate lesion in spinal cory
Afferent fibers conduction toward a structure--incoming info
Efferent fibers conduction away from a structure-outgoing info
posterior= dorsal
anterior ventral
medial toward the midline
lateral away from the midle
rostral towards the nose
caudal toward the tail
Largest most organized part of white matter Internal Capsule
