Question
Answer
This nervous system is controlled by the hypothalamus   Autonomic nervous system  
🗑
Tracts that travel from the cerebrum to lower parts of the CNS   Projection tract  
🗑
The primary motor area is located here   Precentral gyrus ( hand across head)  
🗑
The nucleus helps to regulate circadian rhythm's   Suprachiasmatic nucleus  
🗑
This is often called the emotional brain   Limbic system  
🗑
This is mounted directly below the hypothalamus   Pituitary gland  
🗑
Nerve injury that is reversible in hours to months   Neuropraxia  
🗑
Largest fibre bundle in the brain   Corpus callosum  
🗑
This happens with the flexor reflex   Crossed extensor reflex  
🗑
Number of parts of a reflex arc   5- receptor, neuron, integrating center, motor neuron, effector  
🗑
Csf is formed here   Choroid plexus  
🗑
Decussation of the pyramids happens here   Medulla oblongata  
🗑
Extensions of Pia matter that suspend the spinal cord   Denticulate ligaments  
🗑
Median nerve can be compressed with this muscle   Pronator teres  
🗑
This stops things from entering the blood within the brain   Blood brain barrier  
🗑
Innervates the diaphragm   Phrenic Nerve  
🗑
Corichal brachialis, biceps brachii and brachialis all receive innervation from this nerve   Musculocutaneous  
🗑
This is the gray matter in the centre of the spinal cord   Grey commisure  
🗑
The Dura matter in the brain separates to form this   Dural venous sinuses  
🗑
This anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx   Filum terminale  
🗑
This connects the third and fourth ventricles   Cerebral acqueduct ( aqueduct of the midbrain)  
🗑
This nerve supplies the hip abductors and the skin of the medial thigh   Obturator  
🗑
The Dura matter that separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum   Tentorium cerebelli  
🗑
The tech time is found in this part of the brain   Midbrain  
🗑
Froment sign is positive for this type of nerve lesion   Ulnar nerve lesion  
🗑
bundles of axons found directly off the spinal cord   Rootlets  
🗑
The lateral ventricles are separated by this thin membrane   Septum pellucidum  
🗑
Entrapment of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve; sensory alteration for burning pain on the lateral thigh; tight jeans   Meralgia paresthetica  
🗑
Froments sign is positive; mm wasting of hypothenar; involved nerve travels through Guyon canal   Ulnar nerve lesions  
🗑
Most common entrapment condition in the arm; get numbness/tingling or in digits 123 and half of four; distinguishing picture is nocturnal symptoms that wake the person   Carpal tunnel syndrome  
🗑
Compression occurs at the forearm (under the tendon a brachioradialis); involves the radial nerve; tight hand cuffs   Cheiralgia paresthetica  
🗑
Traction injury of lower brachioplexus; get claw hand; results in medial and ulnar lesions   Klumpkes paralysis  
🗑
Compression occurs at axilla ; involves the radial nerve; sensory and motor branches are affected   Crutch palsy  
🗑
Get paralysis of the adductor muscles; No sensation over the medial thigh; can occur from pressure of fetal head during pregnancy   Injury to obturator nerve  
🗑
Compression occurs at proximal forearm; involves the median nerve   Pronator Teres syndrome  
🗑
Compression of the brachioplexus; subclavian artery and vein can also be compressed; pain, numbness, weakness, tingling in arm or across the upper thoracic area or over scapula   Thoracic outlet syndrome  
🗑
Compression occurs at the spiral groove of the humerus; involves the radial nerve; from direct pressure on arm against a firm object (like when passed out on arm; )   Saturday night palsy  
🗑
The endoneurium is damaged with this level of injury   Neurotmesis  
🗑
Segmental demyelination occurs with this level of injury   Neuropraxia  
🗑
Location of the sensory humunculus   Primary somatosensory area/post central gyrus  
🗑
This type of tract lies within a single cerebral hemisphere   Association tracts  
🗑
De generation of an axon distal to injury site   WAllerian degeneration  
🗑
