a progressive degenerative disease of the brain, usually seen in the elderly, that ultimately results in mental decline until the brain can no longer control bodily functions

associated w/ strucutural changes in cerebral cortex

plaques form and entangle the dendrites within the brain, preventing neurons from firing which eventually leads to cell death

he progressive loss of brain tissue, particularly in the frontal lobe, causes mood and behavior changes, such as suspicions about family, friends, and caregivers

A

Alzheimer’s disease

134
Q

a rare neuromuscular condition that involves progressive destruction of ventral horn motor neurons (motor neuron cell bodies)

causes paralyis in which one loses the ability to speak, swallow and eventually breathe

A

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease

135
Q

caused by any localized damage to the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots

loss of motor function occurs due to relation w/ skeletal muscles in which nerve inpulses cannot reach them

A

paralysis or sensory loss

136
Q

occurs If the spinal cord is completely severed at any level

Total motor and sensory loss is experienced in body regions below the site of the damage

can’t allow signals to be sent up to the brain or receive signals from the brain

A

complete (total) spinal cord inury

137
Q

paralysis of the lower limbs due to a spinal cord injury btw T1 and L1

A

Paraplegia

138
Q

paralysis of all 4 limbs if spinal cord is injured in cervical region

A

quadriplegia

139
Q

Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel

causes decreased sensation in first 3.5 figits

A

carpal tunnel syndrome

140
Q

occurs if ulnar nerve is damaged

inability to open 4th and 5th fingers

A

claw hand/ ulnar claw

141
Q

due to increased pressure on the sciatic nerve from the surrounding muscles

a condition resulting in pain following the path of the sciatic nerve in the lower pelvis and posterior thigh

A

sciatica

142
Q

due to increased pressure on the sciatic nerve from the surrounding muscles

a condition resulting in pain following the path of the sciatic nerve in the lower pelvis and posterior thigh

A

sciatica

143
Q

Structures specialized to detect one form of energy to a nerve signal to the brain for processing

made of neurons that respond to stimuli in the environment

A

sensory receptors

144
Q

Receptors that respond to temperature

A

thermoreceptors

145
Q

Receptors that are sensitive to light

A

photoreceptors

146
Q

receptors that respond to chemicals (Taste or smell)

A

Receptors that respond to chemicals (taste or smell)

147
Q

receptors that sense pain

A

nocioreceptors

148
Q

is created by a network of blood vessels within the ventricles that produces CSF

A

choroid plexus

149
Q

What does the median longitudinal fissure do?

A

It separates the left and right cerebral hemispheres from one another.

150
Q

what separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum?

A

the transverse fissure

151
Q

receives sensory info from the upper lip and upper gums

A

maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve
