Neuro Flashcards
function of frontal lobe
regulating and initiating motor function (primary motor cortex is in frontal lobe)
language
cognitive functioning (personality, decision making etc)
attention
memory
parietal lobe
somatic sensation
sensory aspect of language
spatial orientation
self-perception
temporal
auditory processing
occipital
visual processing
classification for conduction velocity in nerves
A,B,C (A= fastest, C=slowest)
Classification of nerves. Axon diameter
(sensory only- 1-4( 1=fastest, 4=slowest)
PNS sensory receptors and what they do
exteroceptor (external)- pain, touch , temp, pressure
proprioceptor(internal)
movement, joins
enteroceptors(internal)
movement through gut, blood pH
PNS- 3 types of proprioceptors
and what they detect
muscle spindle- in muscle
change in muscle length
golgi tendon organs- in tendon
tension/stretch in tendons
joint receptors- in joints
start and end of movement
neuron
excitable cells of CNS
responsible for electrical transmission
oligodendrocyte
glial cells- produce myelin
astrocyte
most abundant cell type in CNS
Microglia
neuronal macrophage
