CH04: Movement and Posture Flashcards
caudate nucleus + putamen
STRIATIUM
main receptive part of the basal ganglia
PUTAMEN
(2) output nuclei of the basal ganglia
MEDIAL PALLIDUM + PARS RETICULATA
sample of drug that can induce Parkinsonism
Phenotiazine
most pervasive role neurotransmitter but can act as excitatory or inhibitory
Dopamine
areas with richest dopamine
(1) Cell bodies of Pars Compacta (2) Termination fibers in Striatum
Location D1 and D2 receptors
STRIATIUM
Location D3 receptor
Nucleus accumbens
Location D4 receptor
Frontal cortex, limbic structures
Location D5 receptor
Hippocampus and limbic system
D1- like class
D1 and D5 subtypes
D2- like class
D2, D3, D4
Intermediate precursor of dopamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier
L- Dopa
Addition of this enzyme in the catabolism of Dopamine
dopadecarboxulase
Why add LDopa and CDopa
Minimize the systemic side effects
(T/F) Psychological stress and anxiety worsen the abnormal movements in the EPS
TRUE
tendency for the voluntary movement to adopt the frequency of a coexistent tremor
Entrainment
A gentle push on the sternum or tug on the shoulders may cause a fall or start a series of small corrective septs that the patient cannot control
Festination
Rhythmically interrupted, ratchet- like resistance
Cogwheel phenomenon
Unable to relax a group of muscles on request
Paratonia
Encompasses all the active movement phenomena that are a consequence of disease of the basal ganglia, implying an element of dystonia
Dyskinesia
Chorea and myoclonus differ in what aspect
Myoclonic jerks is much faster and may involve single muscles
Chorea after Streptococcal infection
Syndenham chorea
(2) Paraneoplastic chorea antibodies
anti- CRMP, anti- Hu
involuntary movements involve proximal limb muscles and are of wide range and flinging ni the nature
Hemiballismus
Term stems from Greek word “unfixed”
Athetosis
Idiopathic dystonia responding to extremely small doses of L- dopa
Segawa Disease
A characteristic, almost diagnostic, example of the acute drug- induced dystonias
Retrocolis
Give (3) drugs that can induce dystonias
L- Dopa, CCB, AEDs
