A0S1 #5 (Cognitive processes and Brain Structure) Flashcards
Difference between two types of nerves
SA**ME **
Sensory - Afferent nerves (Arrive at the PNS - CNS)
Motor - Efferent nerves (Arrive at the CNS - PNS)
How to Remember the LOBES?
**F-POT **
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
How to remember the CORTICES?
MSVA
Many Sell Versatile Arms
Motor
Somatosensory
Visual
Auditory
T/F: The Pareital lobe is in charge of vision
FALSE - This is the role of the OCCIPITAL LOBE
(Pareital incharge of *other *bodily senses such as touch, temp, pressure, pain and some muscle movement.)
What do Association areas do?
Integrate information
Fight of Flight key terminology includes:
- Confront (Fight)
- Flee (Flight)
- Always refer to the individual performing the action of confronting or fleeing.
e. g. Anna fled the snake
How to remember the function of the PRIMARY SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX
SOMA (greek word for body) = body senses therfore the function of the primary somatosenory cortex is to DETECT AND PROCESS bodily sensations
How to remember the location of the key functional areas within the CEREBRAL CORTEX.
Remembering the Functions of Wernickes and Brocas area
**REMEMBER WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED! **
Brocas Area - Frontal lobe next to the MOTOR CORTEX
which enables movement of muslces involved in speaking (Speech production)
Wernickes Area - Temporal lobe next to the AUDIOTORY AREA enables the perception of language (understanding speech)
How to remember the role and function of Wernickes Area?
WILT
(Wernickes Interprets Language in the Temporal Lobe)
What to never do when explainng WERNICKES aphasia/ area.
Mention the word PRODUCE
That is related to BROCAS area
WERNICKES has to do with comprehension… recall WILT
Wernickes Interprets langauge in the languge in the temporal lobe.
SPLIT BRAIN DAMAGE SURGERY - The left visual feild is projected on what side of each eye?
The right side of each eye and moves to the right hemisphere where…
A person cannot verbalise or describe what they see but DRAW and PICK UP the object.
What side of each eye is the right visual field projected on?
The left side of each eye and left hemisphere.
They cannot draw the object, pick up the object or write the name of the object, they can only VERBALISE an DESCRIBE the object.
(Only if you are looking straight ahead.)
