3 factors affecting blood pressure
Cardiac output
Resistance

4 classical symptoms of Parkinson Disease
Muscular Riggidy
Resting tremor
Slow shuffling gait
3 functions of the Lymphatic system
Produce White blood cells
Absorbs/transports fats
Removing excess fluids
2 immune diseaseresulting from failure of thymus to develop
Di george syndrome
Nezel of diseases
Bathes the brain and spinal cord, providing a protective cushion around the CNS. Fills the brain ventricles, the central canal of the spinal cord, and the subarachnoid space.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Autoimmune disorder affects acetylcholine receptors; makes the neuromuscular junction less functional; muscle weakness and increased fatigue lead to paralysis.
Myasthenia gravis
Mental deterioration, or dementia; usually affects older people; involves loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex; symptoms include general
intellectual deficiency, memory loss, short attention span, moodiness, disorientation, and irritability.
Alzheimer disease
Autoimmune condition; may be initiated by viral infection; inflammation in brain and spinal cord with demyelination and sclerotic (hard) sheaths results in poor conduction of action potentials; symptoms include exaggerated reflexes, tremor, and speech defects.
Multiple sclerosis
Caused by a lesion in basal nuclei; characterized by muscular rigidity, resting tremor, general lack of movement, and a slow, shuffling gait.
Parkinson disease
The storage of memory can be divided into three stages:
working, short-term, and long-term
components of Diencephalon
Thalamus
Epithalamus
Hypothalamus
○ Largest part of diencephalon
○ Connected in center by interthalamic adhesion
○ Relay for sensory information!
○ Influences mood
○ Registers unlocalized, uncomfortable perception of pain
Thalamus
Superior to thalamus
○ Small, few nuclei involved in emotional/visceral response to odors
● Epithalamus
influences onset of puberty; plays role in controlling long-term cycles influenced by light-dark cycle
Pineal Gland
Inferior part of diencephalon
Maintenance of homeostasis
Regulate body temperature, hunger, thirst
Sensations like sexual pleasure, rage, fear, relaxation, “nervous perspirations” (emotional responses)
Hypothalamus
extends from bottom of hypothalamus to pituitary gland
Infundibulum:
form visible swellings on backside of hypothalamus → emotional responses to odors and memory
Mammillary bodies
Cranial Nerves
I - Olfactory -s
II - Optic-s
III - Oculomotor-m
IV - Trochlear-m
V - Trigeminal-mix
VI - Abducens-m
VII - Facial-mix
VIII - Vestibulocochlear-s
IX - Glossopharyngeal-mix
X - Vagus-mix
XI - Accessory-m
XII - Hypoglossal-m
Cranial Nerves - Motor to four of six extrinsic eye muscles and upper eyelid; parasympathetic: constricts pupil, thickens lens
Oculomotor
Cranial Nerves - Sensory to face and teeth; motor to muscles of mastication (chewing)
trigeminal
Cranial Nerves - Sensory: taste; motor to muscles of facial expression; parasympathetic to salivary and tear glands.
Facial
Cranial Nerves - Hearing and balance
Vestibulocochlear
