QuestionAnswer
PNS 12 pairs cranial nerves, 31 pairs spinal nerves
Cerebral cortex outer layer of cerebrum - governs though, memory, reason, sensation, voluntary movement
dominant hemisphere left -95% people
4 lobes frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
frontal lobe personality behavior, emotions, intellectual function
precentraL GYRUS OF frontal lobe voluntary movement
parietal post central gyrus sensation
occipital visual receptor center
temporal lobe primary auditor reception, hearing, taste and smell
wenicke's area (in Temporal Lobe) language comprehension
receptive aphasia person hear's sounds but it has no meaning
broca's area (frontal lobe) motor speech
expressive aphasia person cannot talk - garbled sounds
basal ganglia gray matter w/in 2 hemispheres - initiate, coordinate movement, control auto body movements
thalamus spinal cord, cerebellum, brainstem synapse
hypothalamus temperature, appetite, sex drive, heart rate, BP, sleep center, anterior/posterior pituitary gland regulator, coordinate autonomic nervous system activity and stress response
cerebellum voluntary movement, equilibrium, muscle tone, adjusts/corrects voluntary movement
Brainstem Midbrain, pons, medulla
Midbrain motor neurons and tracts
pons ascending sensory, descending motor tracts, 2 respiratory centers
medulla all ascending and descending fiber tracts, vital autonomic centers, nuclei for cranial nerves VIII to XII.
Pyramidal decussation crossing of motor fibers
spinal cord mediates reflexes of posture control, urination, pain response. butterfly shape
spinothalamic tract transmit pain, temp, crude or light touch, dorsal root across to 2nd sensory neuron split lateral anterior
posterior (dorsal) columns conduct position, vibration and finely localized touch - dorsal to thalalmus
homunculus brain's map of body
corticospinal tract (pyramidal) higher motor system permitting skilled and purposeful movements
Extrapyramidal trat motor nerve fiber outside the pyramidal tract (older)
Upper motor neurons located in CNS, middle man for lower motor neurons - associated diseases - cerebrovascular, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis
Lower motor neurons mostly peripheral nervous system - spinal cord to muscle, diseases - spinal cord lesions, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral scerosis
nerve bundle of fibers outside CNS
afferent nerve fibers input
efferent nerve fibers output
deep tendon reflex patellar (knee jerk)
superficial reflex corneal, abdominal
visceral reflex pupil response to light
pathologic babinski (extensor plantar)
components of a deep tendon reflex 1. intact sensory nerve (afferent) 2. functional synapse in cord 3. intact motor nerve fiber (efferent) 4. neuromuscular junction 5. competent muscle
cranial nerves enter exit through brain not spinal cord
I Olfactory smell
II Optic Vision
III Oculomotor Motor-most EOM movement, open eyelids Parasympathetic - pupil constriction, lens shape
IV Trochlear down and inward movement of eye
VTrigeminal Motor- Mastificiation Sensory - sensation of face and scalp, cornea, mucous membranes of mouth and nose
VI abducens Lateral eye movement
VII facial Motor- facial muscles, close eyes, labial speech, close mouth sensory - taste anterior 2/3 tongue parasympathetic - saliva tear secretion
VIII acoustic hearing and equilibrium
IX glossopharyngeal motor - pharynx (Phonation/swallowing) sensory - taste on posterior 1/3 tongue, pharynx
X - Vagus Motor - pharynx and larynx (talking/swallowing) Sensory - general sensation from carotid body, sinus, pharynx, viscera Parasympathetic - carotid reflex
XI - Spinal Movement of trapezius and sternomastoid muscles
XII - Hypoglossal Movement of tongue
dermal segmentation cutaneous distribution of the various spinal nerves
dermatome circumscribed skin area supplied from one spinal cord segment through a particular nerve.
spinal nerve C6,C7,C8 Thumb, middle finger, fifth finger
spinal nerve T1 axilla
spinal nerve T4 nipple
spinal nerve T10 umbilicus
spinal nerve L1 groin
spinal nerve L4 knee
aura subjective sensation preceding seizure (auditory, visual, motor)
paresis partial paralysis
dysmetria inability to control distance, power and speed of a muscular action
paresthesia abnormal sensation (burning, tingling)
dysarthia difficulty forming words
dysphasia difficulty with language comprehension or expression
micturition syncope fainting shortly after or during urination.
screening neurologic exam seemingly well person w/ no previous hx
complete neurologic exam persons with neurologic concerns (headach, weakness) who show signs of neurologic dysfunction
neurologic recheck exam on persons with neurologic defecits and require periodic assessments
anosmia decrease or loss of smell
nystagmus back and forth oscillation of eyes - disease of vestibular system, cerebellum or brainstem (normal when extreme lateral)
ptosis (drooping) myasthenia gravis, dysfunction of cranial nerve III
strabismus deviated gaze or limited movement of eyes
ataxia unsteady or uncoordinated gait
flaccidity decreased resistance, hypotonia, occur w peripheral weakness
Romberg close eyes, no swaying
Rapid Alternating Movements (RAM) test pat knees both hands, lif, turn, pat w back of hands
dysdiadochokinesia sloppy resonse to Rapid Alternating Movement test - cerebellar disease
dysmetria clumsy movement w overshooting mark
past pointing constant deviation to one side
finger to finger test touch your finger then their nose
finger to nose test close eyes, stretch arms, touch nose w each finger
heel to shin test run heel down shin in straight line (neg - cerebellar disease)
anesthesia absent touch sensation
hypoesthesia decreased touch sensation
kinesthesia position
astereognosis inability to id object correctly by touch
graphesthesia ability to read numbers by having it traced on skin
deep tendon reflex scale 0 - no response, 2+ average, normal, 4+ very brisk, hyperactive with clonus, indicative of disease
clonus rapid rythmic contractions of the same muscle
hyperreflexia exaggerated reflex seen when monosynaptic reflex ar is released from usually inhibiting influence of higher cortical levels
hyporeflexia absence of reflex
weak grip sign of UMN and LMN disease or arthritis, carpal tunnel
Cushing reflex widening BP, decreased pulse - shows signs of increasing intracranial pressure
Glasgow Coma scale standardized, objective assessment that defines LOC
pancreas soft, lobulated gland located behind stomach
RUQ liver, gallbladder, duodenum, head of pancreas, right kidney and adrenal, hepatic flexure of colon, part of ascending transverse colon
LUQ stomach, spleen, left lobe of liver, body of pancreas, left kidney and adrenal, splenic flexure of colon, part of transverse and descending colon
