Q

What actions are only handled by one branch of the ANS?

A

the SNS alone deals with vascular tone, it keeps blood vessels in a state of partial vasoconstriction

At rest, and PNS is dominant and actively slows the HR

Q

Outline the 5 step process of a visceral reflex! How many motor neurons can be involved?

A

It is a 2 neuron motor chain.
1. Receptor in viscera
2. Visceral sensory neuron
3. Integration center can be in the dorsal horns, preganglionic neuron, may be in the walls of the gi tract

Q

What does damage to Broca’s Area do?

A

Can understand language, but have difficult writing, speaking

22
Q

What does damage to Wernicke’s area do?

A

Speaking becomes a word salad, and trouble is had with understanding

23
Q

What do Broca’s and Wernicke’s area interact with to do?

A

The basal nuclei to create a language implementation system.

24
Q

What does the language system have to link to?

A

The cortical structures that are involved with concepts and ideas

25
Q

What do the corresponding motor areas on the other side of the brain from the language implementation system do?

A

They are involved with body language and deal with tone and emotional context and speech.

26
Q

What are the four kinds of memory? Give light descriptions

A
  1. Declarative (fact-based)
  2. Procedural (skill based)
  3. Motor Memory (eg. riding a bike)
  4. Emotional memory (eg. fear and thunder)
27
Q

What are the two types of declarative memory?

A

Short term and long term

28
Q

How long can things be held in short term memory?

A

15-30 seconds

29
Q

How many items can be held in short term memory?

A

7-8

30
Q

What is the storage capacity of long term memory?

A

unlimited

31
Q

How do we know that short term memory is max 30 seconds?

A

There was a patient in the 1050’s who lost the LTM part of his brain.

32
Q

How much information from the cortex is transferred to short term memory?

A

roughly 5 percent

33
Q

What three factors influence transfer of memory from short term to long term?

A

Emotional state, repetition, and association

34
Q

What is consolidation in LTM? What does it allow for?

A

The filing of information is important for permanent knowledge.

35
Q

What is the mechanism of consolidation?

A

It is information passing through the hippocampus, and the hippocampus sorting and associating them and sending them back as memory traces.

36
Q

What can make information easier for the hippocampus to recall it?

A

repetition or mnemonic devices

37
Q

What parts of the brain does declarative memory activate?

A

It goes through the association cortex to the medial temporal lobe where it moves between that, the prefrontal cortex, and the thalamus

38
Q

What parts of the brain does skill memory activate?

A

It goes through the association cortex and is associated with the substantia nigra by dopamine and passes onto the basal nuclei, then the thalamus and the premotor cortex.

39
Q

What chemical/structural changes indicate a transfer of information to LTM?

A
  1. Neuronal RNA content is altered
  2. Dendritic spines change shape
  3. Extracellular proteins are deposited at synapses
  4. The number and size of synapses may increase
  5. More NT are released by presynaptic neurons
  6. New hippocampal neurons appear
40
Q

What can an EEG diagnose?

A

Sleep disorders, epilepsy, brain death

41
Q

How does an EEG measure brain waves?

A

It measures voltage between various areas

42
Q

What are the 4 main brain waves and what are their Hz readings?

A

Alpha waves (8-13Hz)
Beta waves (14-30Hz)
Theta waves (4-7Hz)(mostly seen in children)
Delta waves (4 Hz or less)

43
Q

What does amplitude implicate?

A

Synchronous activity of many neurons.

44
Q

What are the 4 levels of consciousness?

A
  1. Alertness
  2. Drowsiness
  3. Stupor
  4. Coma
45
Q

What is indicative of a coma?

A

The brain intakes less oxygen

46
Q

What is REM sleep characterized by?

A

Higher HR, Bp, eye movement, brain oxygen usage

47
Q

What are the characteristics of the NREM sleep stages?

A

stage 1: alpha waves, easy arousal
stage 2: sleep spindles appear, somewhat easy arousal
stage 3: theta/delta waves appear, vital signs decrease
stage 4, only delta , arousal is difficult, sleepwalking may occur

48
Q

What is the structure of the brain responsible for the circadian rythym?

A

The suprachiasmatic nucleus above the hypothalamus!

49
Q

How is the sleep cycle started?

A

The RAS is inhibited

50
Q

What helps us wake up?

A

The hypothalamus releases orexins, the adrenal cortex also releases cortisol

51
Q

What happens during sleep?

A

Consolidation of memories, discarding of unnecessary memories, restorative

52
Q

What are the three sleep disorders we are responsible for? Describe them

A
  1. Narcolepsy, awake to sleep quickly, suggested that orexins are destroyed by the immune system
  2. Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep, and can result from environmental factors
  3. Sleep apnea is the inability to breathe while sleeping usually due to air pathway obstruction
