19
Q

Mesencephalon

A

Midbrain, responsible for certain aspects of motor coordination and eye movement

20
Q

cerebellum

A

coordinates fine motor movements, posture, equilibrium, muscle tone

21
Q

AMF

A

Anterior medial fissure, anterior portion of spinal cord’s medial division. Deep crease along the ventral surface

22
Q

PMS

A

Posterior Medial Sulcus- Posterior portion of spinal cord’s medial division, shallow groove along the dorsal surface

23
Q

Grey Matter

A

H cross section of spinal cord, made up of neural bodies

Important for reflex

24
Q

White Matter

A

Three columns of nerve fibres around grey matter (anterior, lateral, posterior)
composes a pair of ascending and descending tracts on either side

25
Q

How many spinal nerve pairs?

A

31 (one for every vertebra, starting above C-1, until the Coccyx)

26
Q

describe the roots of the nerve pairs

A

each peir has 2 ventral roots, which carry impulses from cord to body, and 2 dorsal roots, which carry impulses from body to cord

27
Q

Key locations for dermatome assessment

A 
C-3- collar region
C-7- Little finger
T-4- Nipple line
T-10- Unbilicus
S-1- Small toe
28
Q

Myotomes and dermatomes

A

Myatomes- Muscle and tissue innervated by a spinal nerve root
Dermatome- Body surface innervated by one nerve root

29
Q

Key myotome evaluations

A 
C-5- arm extension
C-7- elbow extension
T-1- Small finger abduction
L-3- knee extension
S-1- ankle flexion
30
Q

Four Categories of Peripheral Nerves

A 
Somatic Sensory (touch, pain, temp, position)
Somatic Motor (skeletal muscles)
Visceral Sensory (bladder)
Visceral Motor (cardiac, smooth muscle)
31
Q

Locations of ganglia

A

Sympathetic ganglia are located close to the spinal cord, Parasympathetic close to the target organs

32
Q

Mediators of the sympathetic nervous system

A

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine

33
Q

Spinal cord origin of the Sympathetic NS

A

Thoracic and Lumbar regions

34
Q

Effects of the Sympathetic Nerves leaving the Sympathetic chain ganglia

A 
Sweat glands
Constriction of blood vessels
Increase in blood to the skeletal muscles
increase in HR and cardiac force
Bronchodilation
Stimulation of energy production
35
Q

Effects of the Sympathetic Nerves leaving the collateral ganglia

A

Innervate abdominal organs, causing:
Reduction of blood flow to abdominal organs
Decreased digestive activity
relaxation of smooth muscle lining urinary bladder
-release of glucose stores from the liver

36
Q

Endocrine effect of sympathetic stimulation

A

adrenal medulla releases 20%norepinephrine and 80% epinephrine, stimulating tissue not innervated by sympathetic nerves, prolonging effects

37
Q

Nerve roots serving the parasympathetic NS

A

Sacral region, cranial nerve (predominantly vagus)

38
Q

Nerves in which parasympathetic nerve fibres travel exiting the brainstem

A

CNIII- occulomotor nerve
CN-VII- Facial Nerve
CN-IX- glossopharyngeal Nerve
CN-X- Vagus nerve

39
Q

Effects of parasympathetic NS stimulation

A 
Pupillary constriction
Secretion by digestive glands
Reduction in HR and Cardiac force
Bronchoconstriction
increased smooth muscle activity along digestive tract
Increased sexual stimulation
40
Q

Parasympathetic neurotransmitter

A

Acetocholine

41
Q

Somatic Neurotransmitter

A

Acetocholine

42
Q

Nicotinic-N-receptors

A

-
A type of Acetocholine receptor in autonomic ganglia, where Ach acts as the presynaptic neurotransmitter for both sympathetic and parasympathetic NS

43
Q

Nicotinic-M-receptors

A

A type of Acetocholine receptor found at the meuromuscular junctions of the somatic nervous system

44
Q

Muscarinic receptors

A

A type of Acetocholine receptor found in many organs throughout the body and are primarily responsible for promoting the parasympathetic response

45
Q

Cranial nerve functions

A 
I    Olfactory
II    Optic
III   Occulomotor
IV  Trochlear
V   Trigeminal
VI   Abducens
VII  Facial
VIII Vestibulocochlear
IX   Glossopharyngeal
X    Vagus
XI   Accessory
XII  Hypoglossal
