Intro Flashcards
Basis
Limbic System
survival/primal: Fighting, fleeting, feeding f… (feeding)
Neocortex
Fine movements: Higher level thinking, rational, socially appropriate
Reptilian
Basic life: vital signs, gross movements, autonomic
What can a TBI do to the limbic and Neocortex interaction?
Reduced control of limbic/primal
Rostral
towards nose
Caudal
towards tail
White matter
tract, Lemniscus, fasciculus, column, peduncle, capsule, myelin sheaths, few cell bodies, many axons/projections, helps messages go faster
Gray Matter
ganglion, nucleus, horn, cortex, unmyelinated, cell bodies and communicate directly with each other
Afferent
sensory, outside in and UP (back)
Efferent
motor, down and out (front)
autonomic
sides
Spinal region
31 segments from Foreamen magnum to Lumbar spine 1
Spine regions and processes
C8, T12, L5, S5, Coccygeal 1
Brainstem order, top to bottom
midbrain, pons, medulla
Medulla
most inferior and two medullary pyramids
pons
bulges out, full of cell bodies that make xerox copies of how body moves
midbrain
two arms (peduncles), grouping of white matter, connects head with rest of body
Vital Center?
Pons and medulla - keep awake, if squeezed: sleep –> no fx
