Anatomy Final Exam Flashcards
Function of medulla oblongata
regulates breathing
heart rate control
reflexes (sneezing, coughing, vomiting)
afferent neurons
sensory- carry info from sensory receptors to CNS
efferent neurons
motor-carry info from CNS to muscles and glands
Function of occipital lobe
visual cortex
visual recognition
receives info from retina
Symptoms of lewy body dementia
MCI-mild cognitive impairment
Mental-hallucinations, REM sleep disorder
Physical-hunched over, shuffling feet, expressionless face
3 meningeal layers
Dura mater
arachnoid mater
pia mater
location of dura mater
outermost layer
thickest
deep to skull
location of arachnoid mater
middle layer
web-like
subarachnoid space (cerebrospinal fluid)
parts of the neuron
dendrite
axon
cell body
Function of a dendrite
extensions
receive info
function of an axon
extensions
sends signal out
function of a cell body
nucleus and organelles
function of thalamus
regulates wakefulness and alertness
function of Wernicke’s area
comprehension of sound and language
function of Broca’s area
controls muscles of speech
Name the neuroglial cells
Microglial
ependymal
oligodendrocytes
Schwann
astrocyte
Function of neuroglial cells
absorb and dispose of dead cells and bacteria
function of ependymal cells
lining around spinal cord and brain cavities
function of oligodendrocytes and schwann cells
wrap around axons and produce fatty myelin
function of astrocytes
link neurons to capillaries for nutrients
cerebrum: Gyrus
raised regions
cerebrum: sulcus
grooves between gyri
cerebrum: fissure
deep grooves
function of cerebellum
receives sensory input from eye, inner ears, and body
monitors body position and coordination
What channel opens when neurotransmitters arrives
Na channels open
What part of the cerebellum controls intelligence and learning
pre-frontal cortex
what is responsible for assessing danger
amygdala
what occurs after neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft
it binds to receptor proteins and leads to opening and closing of ion channels
What happens to neurons in MS ( multiple sclerosis)
decreased myelin production
hardening of myelin
slows down impulses
charge of a neuron at rest
negative charge
clear, most anterior structure of eye
cornea
what controls organs and glands and communicates with pituitary gland
hypothalamus
what receptor receives info about levels of O2 and CO2
chemoreceptors
what valve is in between the right atria and right ventricle
tricuspid
what valve is in between the pulmonic valve and right ventricle
pulmonic
what valve is in between the left atria and left ventricle
mitral
what valve is in between the aorta and left ventricle
aortic
what happens when a valve is stenotic
blood flow decreases
valve hardens
doesn’t open all the way
Stroke volume
amount of blood ejected from LV in 1 squeeze
Cardiac output
amount of blood ejected from heart in 1 min
P-wave
atria contract
QRS wave
ventricles contract
T-wave
ventricular repolarization
Why do we have heart valves
keep 1-way flow of blood
How do the valves stay anchored
chorade tendinae
How does blood return to the heart from lungs
L and R pulmonary veins
How does blood return to the heart after its been in the body
superior and inferior vena cava
what happens during a myocardial infarction (MI)
heart attack
blockage of coronary artery due to plaque or clot
signs and symptoms of MI
chest pain
stress
SOB
radiating arm, neck pain
fatigue
flu-like
