Lab Exam 2 Flashcards
Superior, middle, and inferior frontal gyrus
Judgement Rational Thinking Projection into future Social behavior Motivation
Post central gyrus
Primary sensory station
Precentral gyrus
Primary motor station
Superior parietal lobule
Sensory associational cortex (asteroagnosis)
Superior temporal gyrus
Primary auditory area on superior surface (Wernicke’s area)
Supramarginal gyrus
Integrates kinesthetic memories with auditory commands
lesion = ideomotor apraxia
Angular gyrus
Integrates visual, tactile, and auditory information (lesion = alexia and agraphia)
Insula
Localization of pain and provides an emotionally relevant context to sensory experiences
Parahippocampal gyrus
Contains hippocampus which is responsible for memory
Uncus
Can push into cerebral peduncle if there is a space occupying lesion, if they have an uncal seizure they will have an odd smell beforehand
Optic tract
After crossing of optic nerve at optic chiasm
Lesion = homonymous hemianopsia
Optic chiasm
Crossing of the optic nerves (lesion = bitemporal hemianopsia)
Optic nerve
CN II (lesion = monocular blindness)
Orbital gyri
personality, emotions, and behavior (inferior surface of frontal lobe)
Olfactory tract/bulb
CN I, smell
Infundibular stem
Connection of hypothalamus to pituitary gland
Tuber cinerum
In hypothalamus, produced pituitary hormones
Mammilary bodies
Interconnects limbic system with hypothalamus
Occipitotemporal gyrus
Visual association
Oculomotor nerve
CN III
Somatic - innervates eye muscles besides LR and SO
Visceral - ciliary muscles and pupillary constrictors
Lesion - ipsilateral opthalomoplegia (unopposed LR, dilate pupils, ptosis)
Facial nerve
CN VII
Motor to face and salivary
Somatic - aids in communication, chewing, drinking, dampens sound, protect aid, aid in breathing through nose
Visceral motor - innervates lacrimal, submandibular, and sublingual
Special sensory - taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue
Vestibulocochlear nerve
CN VII
Vestibular division - balance/equilibrium
Cochlear division - hearing
Lesion = BPPV, neuritis, Meinere’s neuroma, vertigo
Vagus nerve
CN X
GI motility, organs, throat, and palate muscles aortic baroreceptors
Olive
Location of inferior olivary nucleus (motor relay station to cerebellum)
Hypoglossal nerve
CN XII Tongue muscles (bilateral protrudes tongue, unilateral contraction produces CL deviation of tongue)
Pyramids
Motor fibers that have crossed the spinal cord
Pyramidal decussation
Motor crossing in medulla (88% of LCS fibers cross to form LCST in lateral funiculus of SC)
Flocculus
Flocculondular lobe for vestibocerebellar system (balance)
Cerebellar tonsils
Paravermal area, muscle synergy
Trigeminal nerve
Sensory to CL face
Medulla
Respiratory, CV center
Posterior commissure
Pre-tectal neurons cross (pupillary light reflex)
Hypothalamus
Thermoregulatory center, ANS, release pituitary hormones
Thalamus
Motor and sensory relay station
Corpus Callosum
Connects two hemispheres
Interventricular foramen of Monro
Between lateral ventricles
Cingulate gyrus
Involved in emotion
Fornix
Afferent to hypothalamus
Efferent and afferent to limbic
Paracentral lobule
Primary sensory cortex that receives input from CL lower extremity
Precuneus
Sensory associational area
Cuneus
Sees CL inferior visual field (R sees inferior L visual field)
Lingual gyrus
Sees CL superior visual field (R sees superior L visual field)
