Anatomy viva final Flashcards
Histological difference between dendrites anspd axon hillock
No nissl substance in axon hillock
Atypical and typical neurons
Typical neuron has cell body containing nucleus and two or more processes .atypical ?
Types of atypical neurons
Synapse
Spaces between one end of nerve and another
Cerebellar layer
Molecular,purkinjee,granular,
Cerebral cortex layers
Piriform,ext granular,ext pyramidal,internal granular,internal pyramidal,fusiform
Difference between cranial and spinal nerves
Cranial:nerves emerging or terminating from brain,12 pairs,designated by serial nerves and numbers,can be sensory,motor or mixed,concerned mainly with head and neck
Spinal:nerves emerging or terminating from sc,31 pairs,according to location on sc,concerned with body below neck,mixed
Spina bifida
Neural tube defect alpha Leto protein high
Anencephaly
Neural tube defect alpha ketoprotein high,polyhydramnios
Diencephalon gives rise to
Thalamus,hypothalamus,post pituitary,pineal gland
Rost real beurospore and caudal neurospore close at
25,27
Amygdala
Store memories of events and emotions so that an individual may be able to recognise similar events in future.responsible for perception of emotion such as anger,fear,sadness,control of aggression
Blood supply of visual cortex
Post cerebral arteries
Roof of 4th ventricles formed by
Superior cerebellar peduncle
Speech disorder
Stuttering,tongue tie(anklyoglossia),apraxia(brain cannot coordinate muscles that enable speech),dysarthia(slurring words)
Levels which sc ends
Lower border of l1 vertebrae
Middle cerebral artery supply
internal surface of cerebral hemisphere and temporal pole of brain
Basal ganglia
Subcortical nuclei responsible for motor control,reward and reinforcement,habit formation, motor learning
Internal capsule
Two way tract for transmission of info to and from cerebral cortex,lies in inferomeduql portion of each cerebral hemisphere.blood supply from small perforating branches of middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery
Association fibers
Type of white matter that connect different areas of brain on same hemisphere e,g cingulam
Commiseral fibers
Axons connect two hemispheres of brain e.f corpus callosum
Fascicykus gracious and cuneatus
G carry sensory info from lower half of body entering sc at lumbar level
C carry sensory info from upper half of body entering at cervical level
Mesolimbic oathway
Reward pathway dopaminrgic pathway in brain.pathway connect ventral regimental areas in midbrain to ventral striatum of basal ganglia ventral striatum include nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle
Fine touch crude touch
DCML,ant spinothalamic
