Question
Answer
What are the major subdivisions of the brain?   Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal  
🗑
Primary Motor Cortex   *controls movement opposite side*more specific movement has larger area e.g hands*homunculus map-somatotopical*  
🗑
Primary Somatosensory Cortex   *sensations(pain,pressure,touch,temperature)*somatotopical*opposite side*large area for sensitive body parts e.g face,hands*  
🗑
Primary Visual Cortex   *seeing from opposite side*visuotopical-retinotopical*information-->secondary visual cortices(supplementary)  
🗑
Vision range relating to the brain   innerfield=occipital lobe---peripheral/outer field=deeper in occipital  
🗑
Primary auditory Cortex   *sounds-input from ear*Audiotopic- high-->low frequency  
🗑
Verbal Language areas   Broca's speech region*wernicke's speech region*Exners area  
🗑
Broca's speech region   Instructs motor cortex for speech  
🗑
Wernicke's Speech region   speech recognition*Interprets words & audio  
🗑
Exner's speech region    
🗑
Asphasia   speech disorder involved with the brain=Wernicke's or Broca's region  
🗑
What connects the broca's and Wernicke's speech regions?   Arcuate Fisculusis  
🗑
Non-dominant hemishere   -Right side *Artistic/musical skills *Spatial Skills *Emotional expression *Body language *Conceptual understanding  
🗑
Frontal association Cortex   *personality*intelligence*mood*behaivour*cognitive function  
🗑
Temporal Association Cortex   *intelligence*agression*mood*memory  
🗑
Parietal Association Cortex   *spatial skills-abstract perception-faces-written words -concepts  
🗑
Sulcri   gap between folds  
🗑
Gyri   folds  
🗑
fissure   very deep fold  
🗑
Two important Gyri   *supramarginal & angular gyrus *reading & Writing  
🗑
how many desmosomes?   *30*not associated with skin=4*each spinal nerve to different regions  
🗑
spinal nerves names and numbers   total=31 *cervical=8 *thoracic=12 *Lumbar=5 *sucral=5 *coccygeal=1  
🗑
Encapsulated receptors   *myelinated *pressure & touch *fast 50m/s *discriminative (precision) *schwann cell  
🗑
Non-ecapsulated receptors   *non-myelinated *slow 1m/s *temperature & pain *non-discriminative (less & not as precise)  
🗑
Touch receptors   *myelinated *Meissner corpuscles  
🗑
Pressure receptors   *myelinated *pacinian Curpuscles  
🗑
Temperature & pain   *free nerve endings  
🗑
high density receptors   highly sensitive areas e.g hands, face  
🗑
Touch and pressure damage *spinal cord   -same side of body *before decussation  
🗑
Touch and pressure damage *brain/stem   -opposite side of the body -after decussation  
🗑
Pain and Temperature damage *brain/stem   -opposite side of the body -after decussation  
🗑
Pain and Temperature damage *spinal cord   -opposite side of the body -before decussation  
🗑
Lesions in the brain/stem   -associative -both pain,temp,pressure,touch on opposite side  
🗑
Lesions in the spinal cord   -dissociative -opposite sides effected -pain&temp=opp -press&touch= same  
🗑
Discriminative   -myelinated -fast 50m/s -decussation in brainstem medulla - (gracile&cuneate nuclei) -touch  
🗑
Non-discriminative   -non-myelinated -slow 1m/s -decussation in spinal cord -anterior white commisure  
🗑
Parkinson symptoms   *mood *tremor at rest *Brandykinesia *hypokinesia *rigidity  
🗑
Hypokinesia   -reduced movements  
🗑
Brandykinesia   -slowness of movements -illegible writing  
🗑
tremor at rest   -pill rolling -shaking -normally upper limbs  
🗑
mood   -emotionally flat -can't express emotions & inner feelings (in face)  
🗑
Rigid   -increased muscle tone and tension -rigid face-->unemotional  
🗑
Treatments   -dopamine replacement -surgical lesions -deep brain stimulation  
🗑
Dopamine replacement   -L-dopa(precussor of Dopamine) addded and relies on cells to convert it -dosage incr. with disease progression =side effects  
🗑
surgical lesions   -pallidotomy -thalamotomy  
🗑
Pallidotomy   -pallidus globus -freeze cells -instant results -high accuracy but not success  
🗑
Thalamotomy   - VA-VL thalamus -one side of the brain only  
🗑
Deep brain stimulation   -no damage to cells -GPi, Thalamus, subthalamic nucleus  
🗑
novel new treatments   *adult brain stemcells *embryonicstemcells *immature nuerons (fetal) *genetically engineered *gene therapy  
🗑
Upper motor nueron damge   *spastic paraylsis *increased reflexes *decrease precise voluntary movement  
🗑
Lower motor nueron lesion   *Flaccid paralysis *no reflexes or movement-wasted muscle-polio  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
