Brodmann's areas, dysarthria, apraxia, etiologies of non MSD, Medical Abbreviations Flashcards
What are Brodmann’s areas 1,2,& 3 known as?
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
What are Area’s 1,2,&3 responsible for?
somesthetic sensations (pain, temperature, touch) sent to sensory cortex from contralateral side of body
involved with language
What do lesions to areas 1, 2, & 3 cause?
partial sensory loss (parasthesia)
complete sensory loss (anesthesia)
What are Brodmann’s areas 4 & 6 known as?
Primary Motor cortex
What is Area #4 known as, and what is it responsible for?
Motor strip
contralateral motor control of limbs
What is area #6 known as, and what is it responsible for?
supplementary motor area
premotor area-supplement to primary motor project cortex and related to extrapyramidal system
What do lesions to areas 4 & 6 cause?
spasticity in limbs
What are areas 5 & 7 related to?
related to somesthetic sensation
What is area 8 known as and responsible for?
- frontal eye fields
- initiating rapid eye movements, directing attention
What are areas 9,10,11,46 & 47 known as, and what are they involved with?
- frontal association areas
- involved with executive functioning (e.g., planning, analysis, feedback, self-regulation, etc.)
What is area 17 known as?
primary visual receptor cortex
Where is area 17 located and where does it receive fibers from?
located in occipital lobe, along calcarine fissure
receives fibers from optic tract
What do lesions to area 17 cause?
cause some degree of blindness
partial blindness is considered a visual field defect
What are areas 18 & 19?
Visual Association areas
What is area 22?
Wernicke’s area
What may a lesion at area 22 cause?
may cause wernicke’s aphasia (fluent aphasia)
What is area 28 known as?
primary olfactory receptor cortex
What does a lesion to area 28 cause?
destruction of olfactory system–lack of smell (anosmia)
What is area 39 known as?
angular gyrus
what does a lesion to area 39 (angular gyrus) cause?
- (left) anomia, reading and writing deficits
- left-right disorientation
- finger agnosia
- acalculia
