Neuro sucks

        Help!  

Question
Answer
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  
🗑
