Week 8 Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
Cerebrum Sensory, Motor and Integrative
Cerebellum Planning & coordination of skeletal muscle activity. Maintaining balance in the body.
Cranial Nerves Communicate either motor, sensory, or both types of signals (mixed) between brain & cranial structures.
Spinal Nerves Communicate afferent & efferent signals between brain and periphery.
Frontal Lobe Functions Motor control, Problem solving, Speech production.
Temporal Lobe Functions Auditory processing, Language comprehension, Memory/information retrieval.
Parietal Lobe Functions Touch perception, body orientation and sensory discrimination.
Occipital Lobe Functions Sight, Visual reception and visual interpretation
Cerebellum Functions Balance and coordination
Brain Stem Functions Controls involuntary responses, connects cerebrum to spinal cold & cerebellum. Consists of 3 parts-midbrain, the pons, the medulla oblongata.
Spinal Nerves 31 pairs
Cranial Nerves 12 pairs
Olfactory cranial nerve 1 (S) sensory of smell
Optic cranial nerve 2 (S) Visual Input
Oculomotor cranial nerve 3 (M) Muscular component of the eye
Trochlear cranial nerve 4 (M) Motor nerve
Trigeminal cranial nerve 5 (B)
Abducens cranial nerve 6 (M)
Facial cranial nerve 7 (B)
Vestibulocochlear cranial nerve 8 (S) brings information in to be able to process sound
Glossopharyngeal cranial nerve 9 (B) throat
Vagus cranial nerve 10 (B) Mixed Cranial nerve with many widely distributed branches-hence the name vagus, which is the Latin word for wanderer.
Accessory cranial nerve 11 (M)
Hypoglossal cranial nerve 12 (M)
Spinal Cord Cylindrical, long structure that runs along the vertebral column, composed of neurons and glial cells. Composed of gray matter (center cord), white matter (outer aspect of cord). (tissues)
Cervical Plexus C1-C5, serves head and neck
Brachial Plexus C5-T1, serves upper limb
Lumbar Plexus L1-L4, serves abdomen and lower limb
Sacral Plexus L4-S4 serves pelvis, perineum and lower limb
Phrenic nerve (cervical plexus C1-5) originates from the cervical plexus C3-C5 nerve roots, motor control of the diaphragm and is responsible for breathing. Sensory: pain coming from the phrenic nerve can occur around the shoulder region.
Axillary Nerve (Brachial Plexus C5-C8, T1) Axillary Nerve originates from C5-6, Motor control of the deltoid muscle, shoulder flexion, abduction, extension. Sensory: Pain, numbness and tingling, burning coming from the axillary nerve can occur around the shoulder region.
Femoral Nerve (Lumbar Plexus L1-4) Motor control of the quadriceps muscle, front of the thigh, extension of the knee. Sensory: pain, N/T, burning coming from the femoral nerve can occur in the groin, anterior thigh, medial thigh.
Sciatic Nerve (Sacral Plexus L4-5, S1-4) Motor control of the posterior thigh, calf muscles, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus. Sensory: pain, N/T, burning, low back buttock posterior thigh, calf and foot.
Meninges Inner covering that protects the brain and spinal cord, 3 layers (dura, arachnoid and transparent)
The Dura Mater Strong white fibrous tissue, serves as outer layer of the meninges and the inner periosteum of the cranial bones
The Arachnoid Mater Delicate, spiderweb- like layer. Between the dura and the pia mater
The Transparent Pia Mater Adheres to the outer surface of the brain and spinal cord and contains blood vessels, located underneath subarachnoid mater
Dorsal Nerve Root posterior nerve root, carry sensory information in the spinal cord
Ventral Nerve Root anterior nerve root, carry motor information out of the spinal cord
Cauda Equina Nerve Nerve roots extending from the conus medullaris (at L1-tapered cone) from a sort of "horse tail" of the spinal nerve roots.
Spinal Cord Structure Lies within the spinal cavity from the foramen magnum to the lower border of the first lumbar vertebra. Includes meninges, CSF, a cushion of adipose tissue and blood vessels.
The CSF fluid is found in the: Subarachnoid space
Formation of the CSF mainly occurs in the: Choroid Plexuses
CSF is absorbed into the venous blood by the: Arachnoid Villus
The ____ transmits subconscious impulses of kinesthesis Spinocerebellar Tract
The ___ transmits impulses that coordinate body movements and maintenance of posture Rubrospinal Tract
The part of the brain that secrets releasing hormones is the: Hypothalamus
The type of brain wave associated with deep sleep is called: Delta
Absence of reflexes is indicative of the injury to: lower motor neurons
Recurring or chronic seizure episodes involving sudden bursts of abnormal neuron activity describes: Epilespsy
Visual perception is located in the _____ lobe Occipital
The phrenic nerve innervates the: Diaphragm.
The femoral nerve arises from the: Lumbar Plexus
The brachial plexus is found deep within the: Shoulder
Peristalsis is the function of the ______ nerve: Vagus
Swallowing is a function of ______ nerve: Glossopharyngeal
Somatic effectors are: Skeletal muscle
Which is the neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway? acetylcholine
The brain consist of _____ billion neurons: 100 billion
Which of these has no sensory function? Abducens
Parasympathetic innervation of the heart is assisted by the ___ nerve Vagus
Beta Receptors bind with: Norepinephrine
Many _____ effectors are dually innervated Autonomic
Axon terminals of autonomic neurons release either acetylcholine or ______ : norepinephrine
The sympathetic system plays a crucial role in the ____ pressure: Blood pressure
The brain is only ___ percentage of the total body weight 3%
The sympathetic system dose what? Is a division of the ANS
In what areas are dendrites and cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons located? Gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord
Another name of parasympathetic division is: Craniosacral division
______ slows the hearbeat Parasympathetic control
Which division of the autonomic nervous system regular gut function? Enteric nervous system
