Anatomy Exam #4 (High Yield) Flashcards
Hemisphere lesion will lead to
upper extremity only deficiency on same side
Brainstem lesion will lead to
upper extremity and head deficiency on opposite sides
associated fiber
connect areas of the same hemisphere
commissure fibers
connect one hemisphere to another
projection fiber
connect cerebral cortex to subcortical structures
falx cerebri
dura mater between cerebri
Precentral gyrus function
movement (contralateral side)
-movement associated w where on brain
premotor cortex function
preparation for movement and posture
frontal eye field function
conjugated eye movement (scan field)
Broca’s area (inf frontal gyrus) function
motor speech
prefrontal cortex function
intellect, judgment, planning behavior
postcentral gyrus function
somatosensory (touch, pressure, pain, and temp)
-sensory associated with where on brain
sup parietal lobe function
conscious awareness of contralateral half of body
inf parietal lobe function
- perception of emotion in facial stimuli
- comprehension of language
Primary auditory cortex (wernicke’s area) function
understanding spoken word
Primary visual cortex function
visual perception
visual associated cortex function
interprets visual images
anterior cerebral artery deficit
- motor/sensory cortices of lower limb only
- medial frontal and parietal lobe
middles cerebral artery deficit
- primary motor and sensory cortices minus lower limbs as well as auditory cortes and insula
- lateral surface of frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes
Post inf cerebellar artery
inf aspect of cerebellum
anterior inf cerebellar artery
ant/inf aspect of cerebellum
labyrinthine artery
- > internal acoustic artery
- inner ear
Superior cerebellar artery
sup aspect of cerebellum
Posterior cerebral artery
visual cortex and inferomedial aspect of temporal lobe
