24
Q

Know locations of:

A

Primary gustatory cortex
Primary olfactory cortex
Primary motor area
Primary somatosensory cortex
Warnicke‘s area
Broca’s area

25
Wernikes area where? is responsible for? Wernikes aphasia symptoms?
Temporal lobe Understands words spoken and written Aphasia: talk, but doesn’t make sense and don’t understand
26
Broca’s area Location? Responsible for? Brocas aphasia symptoms?
Frontal lobe Motor speaking Aphasia: Understand but can’t speak
27
Visceral reflex arc
Receptor Afferent neuron Integrating center Efferent neurons Effectors
28
Example of a visceral reflex arc: Baroreflex
Receptor: Baroreceptor Afferent neuron: glossopharyngeal nerve Integrating center: medulla oblongata Efferent neuron: Vagus nerve Effector: cardiac pacemaker, heart rate slows
29
Autonomic pathway: sympathetic
Short myelinated axons synapses with postganglionic neuron unmyelinated
30
Autonomic pathway parasympathetic, And which cranial nerves?
Long preganglionic fibers and interminal ganglia Short postganglionic fibers  Cranial nerves: oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal, Vagus
31
Example of antagonistic dual innervation: heart rate
Sympathetic increases HR Parasympathetic decreases HR
32
Example of cooperative dual innervation micturition and urination
 inhibition of sphincters cooperate with bladder: help with excretion of urine and urination
33
Dual innervation pupillary dilation
Dilate= up sympathetic Constrict= up parasympathetic Blown pupil= damage in brain inhibiting parasympathetic activity
