NEURO FINALS Flashcards
supplies blood to the medial portion
anterior cerebral artery
supplies blood the dorso lateral surface of the brain
middle cerebral artery
supplies blood to the base and occipital lobe of the brain
post cerebral artery
supplies blood to cerebellum
cerebellar artery
thick strong white fibrous tissue
dura matter
middle most, spongy delicate and non vascular tissue
arachnoid membrane
very vascular tissue lined with numerous blood vessels and capillaries
pia matter
serves as a protective cushion around the brain and spinal cord
cerebro spinal fluid
content of csf
glucose, protein and salt
where is csf extracted
lumbar area at subarachnoid space l3-l5
position during csf extraction
lateral recumbent
position after procedure
flat on bed no pillow. 6-8 hrs.
controls decision attitude and behavior
frontal lobe
control general sensation
parietal lobe
control hearing, smell and taste
temporal lobe
sensory relay station of the brain
thalamus
controls vital signs
hypothalamus
controls posture and reflexes
anterior lobe
muscle movement tone coordination
posterior lobe
supplies blood to the upper extremities and respiratory muscle
cervical nerves
supplies blood to lower extremities
lumbar nerves
supplies blood to internal organ and reproductive organ
sacral
thalamus to parietal stimulus
pain
pacinian corpuscle - thalamus - parietal
pressure
meissners corpuscle - thalamus - parietal
touch
end bulk of crouse - hypothalamus - parietal
cold
organ end of ruffini - hypothalamus parietal
heat
nerve fiber that carries impulses toward brain from skin surface
afferent
nerve fibers that carries impulses away from the brain for movement
efferent
assess the type of seizure disorder
electro encephalogram
detect neuromuscular disorder
electromyography
xray with contrast medium is used to visualize intra/extra cranial vessels
cerebral angiography
xray of spinal cord and vertebrae
myelography
oil based dye
pantopaque
water based dye
metrizamide
water based dye
metrizamide
hyper osmotic decrease ICP
mannitol
