30
Q

3 basic types of neurons

A

motor, sensory, and interneurons

31
Q

Peripheral Nervous System

A

collection of nerves outside of the skull and spinal column. They carry sensory impulses to the brain and motor impulses from the brain to the glands and muscles of the body

Contains three types of nerves: Cranial, spinal, and autonomic. There are 12 cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal

Broken into somatic (cranial nerves and spinal nerves) and autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic)

32

VI Abducents Eye movement
VII Facial Tongue (sensory) and Face (motor)
VIII Acoustic Hearing and Balance (sensory)
IX Glossopharyngeal: Tongue and pharynx (sensory); pharynx (motor)
X Vagus: Larynx, respiratory, cardiac, and gastro
XI Spinal accessory: shoulder, arm, and throat movement
XII Hypoglossal: Mostly tongue movement (motor)

**emerge from the brainstem and are attached to the base of the brain

33
Q

CN X Vagus Nerve Branches

A

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: Regulates intrinsic muscles of the larynx. May be damaged in thyroid surgery resulting in partial or total paralysis of the vocal cords. The left RLN courses under the heart and back up. It can be damaged during cardiac surgery resulting in paresis or paralysis of the left vocal cord.

Pharyngeal Branch: supplies the pharyngeal constrictors and sensory info from the base of the tongue and pharynx, soft palate muscles (except one)

Superior Laryngeal Nerve: Divided in to internal (sensory) and external (motor) branches. Has an extensive course and can cause many deficits in swallowing, velum paralysis, voice problems. Supraglottic region.

**Vagus also supplies the esophagus and cricopharyngeal muscle, allowing it to relax. Also assists with esophageal peristalsis.

**Also plays a role with cough reflex and airway protection with swallowing

**voicing and resonance also

With lesion, palate and uvula will deviate towards INTACT side. If not elevating at ALL, that means unilateral damage.

34
Q

Autonomic Nervous System

A

Controls and regulates the internal environment of our bodies.
Sympathetic branch: mobilizes the body for flight or fight.
Parasympathetic: brings body back to relaxation
Enteric

35
Q

Central Nervous System

A

consists of the brain and spinal cord.

36
Q

Brainstem

A

connects the brain and spinal cord. Serves as a bridge between the cerebellum and all other CNS structures. Contains the midbrain, pons, and medulla. All cranial nerved EXCEPT I and II begin in the structures of the brainstem.

37
Q

Midbrain

A

Help connect the brainstem to the cerebellum. Control many motor and sensory functions. CN III and IV exit the midbrain.

38
Q

Pons

A

Bulging structure that bridges the two halves of the cerebellum. The pons and midbrain together serve as a connection point between the cerebellum and various cerebral structures. CN V-VII exit the pons

39
Q

Medulla

A

inferior to the midbrain and pons. Controls autonomic bodily functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure. Also facilitates reflexes like sneezing and coughing. CN IX-XII exit the medulla. CN VIII lies in between the pons and medulla.

Important for mastication and swallowing

40
Q

Basal Ganglia

A

structures deep within the brain. A highly complex system of neural pathways that have connections with many subcortical and cortical areas. Receive input from the frontal lobe and relay information back to the higher centers of the brain via the thalamus. Lesions can result in unusual body postures, dysarthria, changes in body tone, and involuntary and uncontrolled movements.

41
Q

Cerebellum

A

called the little brain. Error control and fine tunes movements. Regulates equilibrium, body posture, and coordinated fine motor movements. Very important to speech productions. Damage results in ataxia (abnormal gate, disturbed balance, and speech disorder called ataxic dysarthria)

42
Q

Cerebrum or cerebral cortex

A

biggest and most important CNS structure for language, speech, and hearing. A gyrus is a ridge on the cortex and a sulcus is a valley. Fissures are deeper. The longitudinal fissure courses along the middle of the brain from front to back and divides it into left and right hemispheres. The fissure of Rolando runs lateral and divides the anterior and posterior of the brain.

Consists of four lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal.

43
Q

Frontal Lobe

A

Critical to deliberate formation of plans and intentions. A person with damage has difficulty carrying out consciously organized activity. contains primary motor cortex and Broca’s area. All muscles of the body are connected to the primary motor cortex.

Brocas area is located in the left hemisphere is the motor speech area. It controls motor movements in solved in speech production.

44
Q

Parietal Lobe

A

Located on the upper sides of the cerebrum behind the frontal lobe and integrates contralateral somatic sensations (pain, pressure, touch). Also integrates information with other areas, predominantly with vision.

Supramarginal gyrus: damage can cause conduction aphasia and agraphia

Angular gyrus: damage can cause writing, reading, and naming difficulties and, in some cases transcortical sensory aphasia

45
Q

Occipital Lobe

A

Primary concerned with receiving and processing visual information

46
Q

Temporal Lobe

A

In the dominant hemisphere (left for most people), the auditory association area generally analyzes speech sounds so that people recognize words and sentences. In the non-dominant hemisphere (normally right), it analyzes nonverbal sound stimuli such as environmental noises, music, and prosody.

wernickes area is in the temporal lobe (left side). It is critical to the comprehension of spoken and written language. Lesions cause wernickes aphasia in which patient produces fluent but meaningless speech and experiences significant language comprehension deficits.

Hippocampus is also located in the temporal lobe. It is responsible for recalling information and long term memories. Lesions can result in anterograde amnesia (inability to create new memories) or retrograde amnesia (inability to remember prior to lesion).

47
Q

aorta

A

main artery in the heart

48
Q

Motor neurons innervating our head and neck (types and innervations)

A

Upper motor neurons (UMN): In the central nervous system. Originate in the cortex and carry info down to the LMN.

Lower Motor neurons (LMN: Part of the peripheral nervous system. Originate in the brainstem (cranial nerves) or spinal cord (spinal nerves). Receive info from UMN and carry it to the muscles on the same side. May receive info from the UMN on the opposite side or from both sides.

Motor neuron diseases destroy the neurons which then negatively impact the activities they control

49
Q

signs of UMN lesions

A

spasticity
hypertonia
weakness
hyperreflexia
pathological reflexes
atrophy
normal nerve condution velocity
No denervation potentials on EMG
Contralateral damage

50
Q

signs of LMN lesions

A

flaccidity
hypotonis
MORE weakness
Hyporeflexia
Fasciculations
MORE atrophy
abnormal nerve conduction velocity
Denervation potentials on EMG
Ipsilateral damage

51
Q

only disease you will have both umn (positive babinski) and lmn signs (fasciculations)

A

ALS

52
Q

Damage to UMN lesion vs LMN

A

Typically UMN lesion will affect muscles on contralateral side while LMN lesion will affect the same side (ipsilateral)

53
Q

Corticobulbar Tracts: Typical
What happens during damage

A

Bilateral UMN innervation. If one hemisphere is damaged, the intact hemisphere is still sending information. Muscle will be weaker because it lost 50% but will still be receiving signals from the intact side.

54
Q

Corticobulbar Tracts: Atypical
What happens with damage

A

Receiving only contralateral UMN innervation. If one hemisphere is damaged, it is 100% lost. Will be very weak as compared to opposite side of the body.

55
Q

CN V Trigeminal

A

3 Branches. Largest CN.
1. V1 (sensory): scalp, forehead, eyes, nose
2. V2 (sensory): cheek, upper lip, upper teeth/gums, palate
3. V3 (sensory and motor)
sensory: ear, lower lip, tongue, lower teeth/gums, jaw
motor: tensor veli palatini, tensor tympani, mylohoid, angerior belly of digastricus (muscles of mastication

facial sensation and chewing*

zygomatic (eyelid)
Buccal (cheek, lip)
Mandibular (chin)
Cervical (platysma)-neck muscles
**Ten zombies bothered my colleague

sensory: external ear and taste for ANTERIOR 2/3 of the tongue
motor: muscles of facial expression, salivary glands

58
Q

Upper face vs Lower face innervation and lesion

A

Upper face received bilateral innervation EXCEPT for VII facial nerve.

Lower face only receives contralateral innervation

L UMN lesion: Left upper face still getting innervation from the right side so it is fine (lost 50% but still functional and will look normal). Left lower face is still getting innervation from right side so also ok. Contralateral lower face is affected. Upper face on right side has lost 1/2 of its innervation. Called a R central facial weakness with R facial droop.

LMN lesion: impairs both upper and lower face on ipsilateral (same side) e.g., bells palsy

59
Q
