Q

somatosensory cortex pathway

A

some info is extracted and then passed from thalamus to 2 subareas, process info (good, bad?) then pass to the secondary somatosensory cortex (put together and integrated)

25
secondary somatosensory cortex
integrates info from both sides of the body (send info to hippocampus to either identify what it is or make new memories of it
26
posterior parietal cortex
association area brings together the body senses (vision, and audition)
27
body integrity identity disorder
condition where people are convinced a limb is not there's
28
out-of-body experience
individual hallucinates seeing their Boyd form another relocation
29
detecting pain
beings when free nerve endings are stimulated (intense pressure, mechanical chemical)
30
inflammatory soup
made up of many molecules that cause different inflammatory responses in response to pain
31
fast pain pathway
registers localized pain, relays to the cortex in a fraction of a second
32
pain pathway
immediately crosses over (NOT at the medulla)
32
slow pain pathway
conveys less localized pain, longer-lasting (aching or burning)
33
Glutamate
glutamate (mild pain) and sub. P (intense pain) released in spinal cord and enhance sensitivity
33
Substance P
increases pain sensitivity
34
opiates
act on opiate receptor, intense pain, very addictive
35
acetaminophen
Tylenol, good, not strong
36
COX-2 inhibitor
decreases inflammation
37
Anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
decreases swelling + inflammatory response, decrease sub. P production
38
endorphins
neurochemicals that function as a neurotransmitters and hormones (only in extreme conditions) (acts on opiate receptors)
39
Gate control theory
pressure signals arrive in brain, triggers inhibitory message then goes back down the spinal cord, thus closing neural gate in pain pathway
40
Periquaductal Gray (PAG)
Brian stem structure surrounding the cerebral ventricles, it has a large number of endorphin synapses
41
descending pain inhibition circuit
gate control theory, pariquaductal Gray, and endorphins release inhibits sub. P close pain gate in spinal cord
42
congential analgesia
insensitivity to pain
43
chronic pain
pain that lasts after healing occurs
44
nervous system change in chronic pain
pain pathway becomes more sensitive, inhibitory mechanism depressed
45
Brian change in chronic pain
- brain stem pathways more responsive - Gray matter lost
46
Phantom Pain
pain experienced in a missing limb (cortical areas still devoted to missing body parts, possibly due to foregin neurons intruding on somatosensory area for severed body parts)
47
skeletal muscles
move body and limbs, can fatigue if overused (any muscle attached to bone)
48
smooth muscle
produce rhythmic contractions in there internal organs (food digesting, constricting blood vessels , voiding the bladder
49
Cardiac muscles
non-fatiguing muscles in heart
50
muscle tissue
made individual cells
51
muscle cells
controlled by motor neurons (neurons that chem out of spinal cord) that synapse with a muscle cells at the neuromuscular junction
52
Myosin (Muscle fiber)
motor protein, play role in muscle contraction
53
Acting Filaments (muscle fiber)
linear polymers of globular acting (G) subunits
54
antagonistic muscles
produce opposite movements at a joint - bicep decrease arm angle, triceps increase arm angle (smooth movement, precious stopping, minimal tremor)
55
muscle spindles
stretch receptors in the muscle (are we over extending?)
56
golgi tendon organs
tension receptors near the muscles (help adjust change in tension of muscle
57
Central Patterns generators (CPGs)
neronal network that produces a rhythmic pattern of motor activity ( you initiate walking, but once done you stop thinking about it) (found in spinal cord) (chicken no head = keeps walking)
58
Motor cortex parts
Primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, premotor cortex (in frontal lobe)
59
prefrontal cortex
plans action with regard to consequences, integrates sensory info with body info
60
premotor cortex (secondary motor area)
beings programming movement
61
supplementary motor area (secondary motor area)
assembles sequence of movements (good for piano playing)
62
primary motor cortex
execution of voluntary movements
63
Basal Ganglia
integrate and smooth movements (helps us not walk wonky, helps learn how to ride bike)
64
Cerebellum
uses info from motor cortex to determine the order and timing of muscle contraction, uses info from vestibular system to maintain posture and balance, refine movement, control eye movement that compensate head movement, returns proceed info to primary motor cortex
65
Parkinsons disease symptoms
motor tremors, rigidity, loss off balance, and coordination, and difficulty moving, (initiating movements)
65
parkinson's cause
substantia nigra deterioration, lewy bodies accumulate
66
parkinson's what is it
loss in dopamine being sent it cortex
67
parkinson's treatments
Levodopa (L-dopa), stem cells, lesions
68
Huntington's diseases what is it
degenerative disorder of the motor system involving cell loss
69
Huntington's diseases symptoms
cognitive and emotional deficits, motor symptoms
70
Huntington cause
mutated gene
71
Huntington's treatments
antidepressants (dopamine reduction)
72
myasthenia gravis (MG) what is it
muscular weakness caused by reduced sensitivity of acetylcholine receptors
73
Myasthenia gravis (MG) treatment
drugs inhibit action of acetylcholinesterase (enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine), thymectomy
74
Multiple scelrosis (MS)
motor disorder, caused by demyelination and neuron loss in CNS
75
multiple scelrosis treatments (MS)
some drugs help symptoms, none reverse
