A

Visual cortex

22
Q

What can cause Cortical blindness in the occipital lobe?

A

Stroke or trauma

23
Q

What is Anton-Babinski syndrome? (In the Occipital lobe)

A

Denial of blindness

24
Q

Name 3 diseases that effects the Basal ganglia(motor control)?

A

Parkinson, Huntingsons chorea, Hemiballismus

25
Q

Which 3 main parts does Diencephalon consists of?

A
  1. Thalamus - egg shaped structure, 2. Hypothalamus - grey matter; wall of 3rd ventricle. Hypophysis, 3. Pineal gland
26
Q

What is Thalamus 3 main assignments?

A
  1. Connections of both motor and sensors tracts between cerebrum and medulla spinals, 2. Transfers signals from the formatio reticularis to cerebral cortex, 3. Transfers signals between different parts of the limbic system
27
Q

What is the Pineal gland?

A

It´s a part of diencephalon and is an endocrine gland, in some reptals a third eye. Contains melatonin

28
Q

Name 4 Thalamic syndromes?

A

Thalamic pain, Hemianesthesia, Sensory ataxia, Stroke - often combined with paresis

29
Q

What is the Hypothalamus in charge of?

A

Controls circulation and temperature. Basal function for survival - thirst, hunger, sleep, parts of sexual behavior. Also controls the pituitary gland.

(Thyroid hormones, sex hormones, lactation and cortisol)

30
Q

What does the Limbic system control?

A

Emotions and memory

31
Q

What 3 main parts does White matter in the brain consists of?

A
  1. Project tracts - between different levels in the CNS, 2.Commisure tracts - between the hemisphere, 3. Association tracts - tract within a hemisphere
32
Q

Formatio reticulus is a centre in the brainstem. What is it a centre for?

A

Consciousness, Control of breathing and heart rate, Pattern generators for swallowing and sneezing

33
Q

What is the Cerebellum in charge of?

A

It is involved in coordination of eye-, trunk and head-movements using signals from the ear. Helps to maintain posture and balance. Takes part in fine motoric movements of the arm and hands and trained fast and complicated movements.

34
Q

Which 3 main systems can the Nervous system be divided in?

A
  1. Central nervous system(CNS) - brain and spinal cord, 2. Peripheral nervous system(PNS) - cranial nerves, spinal nerves and ganglia, 3. Enteric nervous system (ENS)
35
Q

What is the Somatic nervous system(SNS)?

A

The part is controlled by free will

36
Q

What is the Autonomic nervous system(ANS)?

A

The part that is not controlled by free will, e.g. heart, glands, bowel.

37
Q

What is so special about nerve cells, compared to normal cells?

A

Nerve cells are able to receive and conduct signals and also transfer the signals to other organs

38
Q

Which 5 types of cells does the nervous system consists of?

A
  1. Neurons(nerve cells), 2. Astrocytes, 3. Oligodendrocytes, 4. Schwann cells, 5. Mikroglia
39
Q

myelin is an isolation around an axon, but there is one sort in the CNS and another in the PNS, which are these?

A

Oligodendocytes - CNS,

Schwann cells - PNS

40
Q

Give 2 examples on when the action potential in the axons is disrupted?

A
  1. In multipel sclerosis (MS) - the myelin is damaged; impairment of transmission, 2. Locl anesthetic - blockage of voltage-gated Na+-channel; pain impulses are not transmitted.
41
Q

Which disease is related to lack of dopamin in the brain?

A

Parkinson’s disease

42
Q

Which disease is related to excessive amount of dopamin?

A

Schizofrenia

43
Q

The brain has 4 fluid-filled chambers, the ventricles. What are the called?

A

1&2. Lateral ventricle, 3. Third ventricle, 4. Fourth ventricle

44
Q

What is the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)?

A

A clear and colorless liquid produced in the ventricles and circulating around the CNS

45
Q

What functions does the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) have?

A
  1. Protection against physical injury, 2. The volume can be regulated, 3. Transport substances
46
Q

What is the name of the 2 main arteries that supply the brain with blood?

A

Carotis interna and vertebralis

47
Q

In which 5 regions is the spinal nerves divided in?

A

Cervical (8 psc), Thoractal (12 psc), Lumbar (5 psc), Sacral (5 psc), Coccygeal (1 psc)

48
Q

which 2 types of spinal nerves are there?

A

Motoric - efferent, Sensoric - afferent
