STUDY GUIDE CH. 15
Study material
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 5 neurotransmitters | Dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine & serotonin |
| 2 branches of autonomic system | Parasympathetic & sympathetic |
| Frontal lobe | Controls motor functions, parts of speech, emotions, problem solving, reasoning & planning |
| Temporal lobe | Important in receiving & integrating auditory stimuli and regulating emotion, personality & behavior |
| Parietal lobe | Important in orientation, recognition, sensation & understading language |
| Occipital lobe | Important in control of perception & interpretation related to vision |
| Thalamus | The relay station involved in the transmission of messages being sent between the brain and the spinal cord |
| Cerrebellum | Responsible for precise movements, such as maintaining balance, posture & coordinating movement |
| 4 protective mechanisms of the CNS | Blood brain barrier, vertebral column, meninges & cerebrospinal fluid |
| 3 parts of brainstem | Medulla oblongata, midbrain (mesencephalon) & pons |
| 3 types of nerve transmissions | Depolarization, repolarization, polarization |
| Depolarization | Changes the negative charges inside the cell to positive |
| Polarization | Resting state with negative charges inside that consists of Potassium (positive charge) & Chloride (negative charge) |
| Repolarization | Transports the sodium out of the cell & allows the potassium to reenter the cell, bringing it back to the resting stage |
| Left side of brain is used for | Creativity |
| Right side of brain | Logical thinking |
| Cerebrum (cerebral cortex) | Largest part of the brain |
| Tonic-clonic seizures | Seizures in which the entire brain is affected (AKA tonic-clonic seizures) |
| Status epilepticus | Back to back epileptic seizures in which consciousness is difficult to or not obtain |
| Efferent | Motor |
| Afferent | Sensory |
| Somatic system | Skeletal muscle |
| Autonomic system | Smooth muscle |
| Partial seizure | Seizure that affects only on part of the brain |
| Petit mal seizures | Least violent seizures |
| Grand mal seizures | Longer and more intense seizures |
| Absence seizures | Seizures that involve brief sudden lapses in attention |
| Akinetic seizures | Seizures that consist of a brief lapse in muscle tone |
| Mycolonic seizures | Brief shock like jerks of muscle or group of muscles |
