AG 502 Anatomy 2
Question | Answer |
---|---|
occipital lobe | vision; integrating primary vision with other senses |
insular lobe | visceral functions, integrates autonomic info, motormemory |
limbic system | motivation, sex drive, emotional behaviour, memory, affect |
hypothalamus | homeostasis |
hippocampal formation | memory (Alzheimer's) |
amygdala | emotions and drives |
basal ganglia | motor learning, control of motor skills |
commissural fibres | between hemispheres ex: corpus callosum |
association fibres | within a hemisphere ex: arcuate fasiculus |
projection fibres | between cerebrum and neuroaxis ex: uncuate fasiculus |
internal capsule | very important projection fibres |
thalamus | major sensory relay center, adds emotion to sensations; arousal, attention, sleep/wake cycles;all senses except smell stop here on the way to conscious awareness |
mamillary bodies | important for memory, easily damaged by alcohol |
pineal body | gonad development, produces melatonin |
hypothalamus | control center for autonomic NS, links NS to endocrine system |
subthalamus | relay station in sensory motor control of voluntary movements |
reticular formation | alertness, focus attention, monitors input to thalamus |
superior colliculi | vision; visual reflexes |
inferior colliculi | auditory; auditory reflexes |
substantia nigra | produces dopamine; damage here = Parkinson's |
oculomotor nerve | (m) lift the eyelid/control position of eyeball; pupil constriction |
basilar pons | relay between cortex and cerebellum; forms peduncles |
posterior pons | CN nuclei for trochlear(m), trigeminal(s/m), abducens(m) |
trochlear nerve | (m)moves eyeball down and out |
trigeminal nerve | (s)face, scalp, teeth, front 2/3 of tongue, soft palate (m)mandibular area |
abducens nerve | (m)moves eyeball inward |
facial nerve | (m)to striated muscles of facial expression(s)glands, taste buds, external ear & tympanic membrane |
vestibulocochlear nerve | (s)hearing and balance |
cerebellum | monitors skilled motor behaviour; corrects mismatches in muscle coordination |
archicerebellum | sense body position; balance |
paleocerebellum | posture; gross movement of limbs |
neocerebellum | precision of force, direction and extent of voluntary movements |
peduncles | carry fibres from one place to another |
olives | (gray matter) info about where body parts are in relation to themselves |
pyramidal decussation | 80 - 85% of fibres cross over here |
glossopharyngeal nerve | (s)back 1/3 of tongue, tonsils, middle ear |
vagus nerve | (m)laryngeal muscles, smooth muscles(s)throat & ear, soft palate |
accessory nerve | (m)trapezius and sternocleidomastoid |
hypglossal nerve | (m)muscles of the tongue |
phrenic nerve | innervates the diaphragm (m) and (s) |
brachial plexus | C5 - T1 muscles and skin of chest and upper limbs |
lumbarsacral plexus | trunk and lower limbs |
receptors | detect and respond to changes in internal and external environment |
exteroreceptors | mediate sight/sound/smell/balance/touch |
proprioreceptors | deep body sensation; our body parts in relation to space and each other |
2-point discrimination | "tell me when you feel two pricks" |
stereognosis | ability to recognize object through touch alone |
reflex | behaviour that is not cortically mediated |
cortical override | consciously controlling reflexes |
corticobulbar tracts | from the cortex to the brain stem & vice-versa |
cervical plexus | C1, C2, C3, C4 |
