Exam 1 - CH 1-2 Flashcards
rostral
up (towards the nose)
caudal
down (towards tail)
dorsal
back (posterior)
ventral
front (anterior)
midsagittal
divides brain into left and right halves along the midline
sagittal
divides brain into left and right sections that are not necessarily equal
coronal
divides front from back
horizontal (transverse)
divides top from bottom
flexion
decrease the angle of limb segments around a joint
extension
increase angle of limb segments around a joint
adduction
movement towards the body’s central axis
abduction
movement away from central axis
pronate
body face down
supinate
body face up
acute
evolve over minutes to hours
subacute
evolve over days to weeks
chronic
develop or continue over long term
motor
part of motor system that controls motor movements
speech
communication through use of vocal symbols
disorders
abnormality of function
MSDs
a collection of speech production deficits caused by abnormal functioning of the motor system
how many types of dysarthria and apraxia
7 dysarthria
1 apraxia
dysarthria
impaired production of speech due to disturbances in muscular control of speech mechanism
dysarthria can affect:
articulation
respiration
prosody
resonance
phonation
apraxia
deficit in the ability to smoothly sequence the speech producing movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and other parts of the speech mechanism
apraxia primarily affects:
articulation
prosody
apraxia occurs frequently when:
left hemisphere of the brain is damaged
CNS
brain and spinal cord
PNS
12 pairs of cranial nerves
31 pairs of spinal nerves
sensory =
afferent
arrives
motor =
efferent
exits
brain divided into:
cerebrum
brainstem
cerebellum
cerebrum
largest part
split into 2 parts by longitudinal fissure
4 lobes of the cerebrum
frontal
temporal
parietal
occipital
prominent sulci in cerebrum
lateral
central
prominent gyri in cerebrum
precentral (frontal - motor)
postcentral (sensory)
cerebral cortex
gray matter
performs higher cognitive activities: language, motor planning, problem solving, sensory perception
most rostral lobe
frontal
largest lobe
