24
Q

What is a motor unit?

List the anatomical elements of a monosynaptic stretch reflex.

A

Sensory nerve, muscle spindle, motor neuron, and a muscle fibre

26

Incus
Eustachian tube
29
Q

What are the main structures of the inner ear?

A

Oval window
Round window
Cochlea
Organ of Corti

30
Q

Dovie the anatomical structures of the ear into conductive and sensorineural elements.

A

Conductive: pinna, external auditory meatus, tympanic membrane, malleus, stapes, incus, oval window
Sensorineural: cochlea and organ of corti

31
Q

Give a general over view of how the acoustic signal is translated into nerve impulses in the ear.

A

Outer ear collects and directs sounds to ossicles (acoustic to mechanical)
Ossicles direct mechanical energy through oval window to fluid in the cochlea (mechanical to fluid)
Fluid waves cause hair cells embedded in the tympanic membrane to move which causes the release of neurotransmitters, causing an electrical signal to the sent to the brain stem
Depending on the displacement of fluid and the size of the wave, different areas of hairs will move at different frequencies, resulting in release of single from different area and shaping the sound

32
Q

What are the 3 main functions of the brain stem?

A

Conduit for the pathway (corridor for all major sensory, motor, cerebellum and cranial nerve pathways)
Location of cranial nerve nuclei
Location of other nuclei with unique functions

33
Q

What are the unique functions of the brain stem?

A

Consciousness
Cerebellar circuits
Muscle tone
Cardiac, respiratory and other essential functions

34
Q

Differentiate cranial and spinal nerves.

A

Three main differences: additional special senses, location and what info is carried
Spinal: carry motor and somatosensory to the body always together
Cranial: carry special sense info such as smell, taste, vision, hearing to the head and neck and can carry motor or sensory or both

35
Q

What is senscence?

A

The progressive deterioration of many bodily functions over time

36
Q

What sensory functions are affected by aging?

A

Presbyopia (loss of visual acuity)
Presbycusis: hair cell degeneration of cochlea
Presbosmia and presbystasis
Decreased somatosensory function including tactile spatial acuity

37
Q

What motor functions are affected by aging?

A

Sarcopenia = weakness

Slowing and tremor seen with age may be unfinished form of PD or truest normal aging

38
Q

What effects does aging have on cognition?

A

Highly variable and generally not significant enough to impair daily occupational or social functioning
Slow down psychologically with age resulting in slower at perceiving, processing, and reacting
The main theory is that it represents reduced inhibition and slow speed with contributions from perceptual deficits, domain specific cognitive impairments and reduced cognitive capacity

39
Q

How does attention change with age?

A

Selective attention declines

40
Q

What is required for selective attention and how does age effect this?

A

Age causes restrictions in inhibitory control leading to:

1) Reduced access control (ability to ignore concurrent distractions)
2) Reduced deletion control (delete info that is no longer relèvent to current task)
3) Reduced restraint control (restrain responding when a response is inappropriate)

41
Q

How does selective attention effect our communication?

A

It is hard to carry on a conversation when you are distracted by things going on around them

42
Q

How do learning and memory change with aging?

A

It effects learning/encoding and retrieval of info more than memories, causing more repetition of new info to be required
Not all types of memory are equally vulnerable (ex episodic is highly vs, procedural is not)
Many individuals experience mild cognitive impairment

43
Q

What parts of language are still intact with aging?

A

Syntax, morphology, and word knowledge

44
Q

What parts of language are effected with aging?

A

The main effects are secondary to slower processing and poorer attention
Word-finding and generative naming may decline but not to the extent that it interferes with communication

45
Q

What doesn’t change with aging?

A 
IQ
Personality (changes in inhibitory control are typically exagérations of personality)
46
Q

What structures are included in the diencephalon system?

A

Thalamus
Subthalamic nucleus
Hypothalamus
Epithalamus

47
Q

What is the function of the thalamus?

A

Relay station for all sensory and motor tracts and regulates cortical activity for alertness

48
Q

What is the function of the subthalamic nucleus?

A

Part of the basal ganglia circuits for motor and cognitive functions

49
Q

What is the function of the hypothalamus?

A

Controls autonomic nervous system including unconscious bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, respiration, stress/endocrine response, bp, temperature regulation, fluid balance

50
Q

What is the function of the epithalamus?

A

Holds pineal gland which secretes melatonin as well as connects dienchelhalon to limbic system and cortex

51
Q

What are the functions of the limbic system

A

Homeostasis
Olfaction
Memory
Emotion

52
Q

What are the structures of the limbic system?

A

Limbic cortex
Hippocampal formation
Amygdala
Olfactory cortex

53
Q

What allows for the functions of the limbic system?

A

Homeostatic functions including autonomic and neuroendocrine functions - connection to hypothalamus
Olfaction - olfactory cortex
Memory - hippocampal formation
Emotions and drives - amygdala

All the systems of the limbic system are interconnected, meaning the activation in one leads to activation in others ex. Smell leads to a memory

54
Q

Describe the olfactory cortex

A

Olfactory bulb sits on top of the sinus cavity and under the frontal cavity with neurons going through the skull into the mucous of the nasal cavity
Connected to your memory system (hypothalamus) and thalamus (relaxation via a smell)

55
Q

Describe the hippocampal formation?

A

Allows for the encoding of new conscious memories - neurons allow for long term pertentiation
Automatic things are now relient on this (ex. Mirror drawing, obligatory reading, phonology, syntax, morphology, intonation/prosody, semantics, prosody, pragmatics)

56
Q

Describe the amygdala

A

Important in rage and aggression
Increases in firing when looking at someone in the eye
Activity illicite fear and panic where as removal is associated with placid, tame behaviour
Connected to limbic cortex, hypothalamus, olfactory cortex, brainstem centres involved in vegetative functions
