45
Q

Meninges function

A

Protect and nourish the brain

46
Q

Importance of sutures

A

Allow for a tiny amount of movement. Contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. Sutures allow the bones to move during the birth process. They act like an expansion joint, allowing the bone to enlarge evenly as the brain grows and the skull expands, resulting in a symmetrically shaped head

47
Q

Types of taste buds

A 
Sweet 
Salty 
Sour 
Bitter 
(Umami)
48
Q

Location of sweet taste buds

A

Tip of tongue

49
Q

Location of salty taste buds

A

50
Q

Location of sour taste buds

A

Sides of tongue

51
Q

Location of bitter taste buds

A

Back of tongue

52
Q

Location of umami taste buds

A

Entire tongue

53
Q

Cerebrum function

A

Associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. Divided into four lobes

54
Q

Cerebellum function

A

Motor coordination, monitoring sensory input, muscle movements, and muscle tone

55
Q

Diencephalon function

A

Contains the epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus.

56
Q

Thalamus function

A

Final relay point for ascending sensory information going to the primary sensory cortex; involved in emotion, motivation, touch, pain, temperature, position, visual and auditory signals

57
Q

Hypothalamus function

A

58
Q

Midbrain function

A

Associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/awake, arousal, and temperature regulation

59
Q

Pons function

A

Connects cerebellum to other parts of the brain and spinal cord; contains sensory and motor nuclei that involve sleep, respiration, swallowing, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movements, bladder control, and movements of the head

60
Q

Medulla function

A

Center for autonomic regulation of heartbeat, breathing, constriction and relaxation of blood vessels, sneezing, coughing, gagging, vomiting, hiccups, and swallowing

61
Q

Gray vs white matter

A

Gray matter contains the cell bodies, dendrites, and axon terminals of neurons. It includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control.

White matter is composed of bundles of myelinated axons which connect various gray matter areas and carry nerve impulses between neurons

62
Q

Pathway of vision

A

light through the eye to the cornea -
aqueous humor - through pupil -
lens - vitreous humor - retina -
optic nerve - brain - the occipital lobe

63
Q

Ear’s role in balance

A

The inner ear is responsible for balance
Vestibular system: Balance organs in the inner ear tell the brain about the movements and position of your head. There is a set of three tubes (semi-circular canals) in each ear, and these sense when you move your head around and help keep your vision clear.

64
Q

Ear’s role in hearing

A

All three parts of the ear are involved in hearing. The outer ear is composed of the pinna, or ear lobe, and the external auditory canal. Both structures funnel sound waves towards the ear drum or tympanic membrane allowing it to vibrate.

65
Q

Types of joints

A
  1. Synarthrosis (no movement)
  2. Amphiarthrosis (little movement)
  3. Diarthrosis (free movement)
66
Q

Example of synarthrosis joints

A

sutures of the skull

67
Q

Example of amphiarthrosis joints

A

The articulation between the vertebrae at the intervertevral discs

68
Q

Example of amphiarthrosis joints

A

The articulation between the vertebrae at the intervertevral discs

69
Q

Example of diarthrosis joints (synovial)

A

knee, hip, ankle, elbow, shoulder

70
Q

Types of diarthrosis joints (synovial)

A
  • Hinge joints (elbow, knee)
  • Ball and socket (humerus/pectoral, femur/pelvis)
  • Gliding (wrists, ankles)
  • Pivot (atlas, axis)
71
Q

Flexion of the elbow example

A

Doing bicep curl weight lifting

72
Q

Extension of the knee example

73
Q

Opposition of the thumb example

A

Picking something up with your hand

74
Q

Eversion of the ankle

A

Rotating your ankle

75
Q

Adduction of the arm

A

Trying to hug someone

76
Q

77
Q

Rotation of the neck

A

Turning your head to look at something

78
Q

Circumduction of the arm

79
Q

Compare and contrast the CNS and PNS

A
  • CNS contains the brain and spinal cord. With the help of the PNS, it has a fundamental role in the control of behavior.
  • PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord. The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs
80
