20
Q

What does the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex control?

A

Interpretation of visual stimuli

21
Q

There are 3 functional areas of the cerebral cortex. What are they and what do they do?

A

1.) Sensory areas- interpret sensory input
2.) Motor areas- determine motor output
3.) Association areas- emotions, reason, intellect, language

22
Q

What part of the brain is divided into left and right hemispheres?

A

Cerebral cortex ( Part of the cerebellum)

23
Q

What part of the brain is divided into 4 lobes?

A

Cerebral cortex ( part of the cerebellum)

24
Q

How many pairs of spinal nerves are there?

A

31

25
Q

In order list how many:
1.) Cervical nerves
2.) Thoracic nerves
3.) Lumbar nerves
4.) Sacral nerves
5.) coccygeal nerves
there are in the body

A

1.) 8
2.) 12
3.) 5
4.) 5
5.) 1

26
Q

The amygdala and the hippocampus make up what part of the brain?

A

Limbic system

27
Q

What are 2 functions of the spinal cord?

A

1.) Integrate simple response to certain stimuli ( aka reflex)
2.) Relay information to and from the brain

28
Q

Define reflex

A

A fast, automatic pre programmed response to internal or external stimuli

29
Q

Do spinal reflexes require brain input?

A

no. They are the most basic form of response to stimuli.

30
Q

What are 2 types of reflexes

A

1.) somatic
2.) autonomic

31
Q

What is the difference between somatic and autonomic reflexes?

A

Somatic: respond to external stimuli. The effectors are skeletal muscles ie: withdrawal reflex
Autonomic: respond to internal stimuli. Effectors are smooth muscle and glans ie: blood pressure, respiration etc.

32
Q

What are the divisions of the P.N.S?

A

1.) Somatic
2.) Autonomic

33
Q

What is the difference between the somatic NS and the autonomic NS?

A

Somatic:
somatic sensory neurons
somatic motor neurons
info to skeletal mm only
responses are voluntary
Autonomic:
visceral sensory neurons
visceral motor neurons
to smooth mm, cardiac mm and glands
involuntary

34
Q

The P.N.S is divided into somatic and autonomic NS, and the autonomic NS is further subdivided into what categories?

A

sympathetic
parasympathetic

35
Q

What does the sympathetic nervous system regulate?

A

Fight or flight response

36
Q

What does the parasympathetic nervous system regulate?

A

Rest and digest response

37
Q

Where do the nerves arise in a sympathetic response?

A

Thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord

38
Q

Where to the nerves arise in a parasympathetic response?

A

directly from the brain and the sacral region of the spinal cord

39
Q

What is the enteric nervous system?

A

” brain of the gut”
An indépendant nervous system which communicates with the central nervous system via parasympathetic and sympathetic fibres.
Motor neurons of the ENS innervate the gut wall and stimulate smooth MM contractions and innervate glands to regulate production of secretions of gut hormones.

40
Q

What part of the brain is involved in control of large automatic muscle movement and muscle tone? ( cells of this region lose function with Parkinson’s disease)

A

Basal ganglia

41
Q

What is the largest portion of the brain?

A

cerebrum

42
Q

What gives white/grey matter their colour?

A

white matter consists of concentrations of myelinated axons.
Grey matter is due to a lack of myelin. It also includes clusters of nerve cell bodies, dendrites, axon terminals and neuroglia.

43
Q

What are meninges?

A

protective connective tissue coverings of the brain and spinal cord

44
Q

what are the 3 meninges?

A

1.) dura mater ( tough superficial layer)
2.) arachnoid ( middle layer)
3.) Pia mater ( delicate inner layer with blood capillaries adhered to the brains surface)

45
Q

What are the 4 plexuses?

A

1.) Cervical
2.) brachial
3.) lumbar
4.) sacral

46
Q

How many cranial nerves are there?

A

12

47
Q

List the cranial nerves

A

I olfactory
II Optic
III oculomotor
IV trochlear
V trigeminal
VI abducens
VII facial
VIII vestibulocochlear
IX glossopharyngeal
X vagus
XI accessory
XII hypoglossal
