Neuro Assessment Flashcards
Motor primary section and what does it do?
Precentral gyrus and motor control movements on opposites sides of the body
Supplemental motor section
anterior to pre central gyrus proximal mm activity for stance and gait and spontaneous movement and coordination.
parietal lobe
Integrates somatic and sensory input
posterior temporal lobe
integrates Visual and audio input for language comprehension
anterior temp lobe
integrates past experiences
anterior frontal lobe
judgement reasoning
Auditory part of the brain
Superior temporal gyrus
Sensory input from opposite side of the body
post central gyrus
registers visual images
occipital lobe
Where is brocas
frontal lobe
where is wernickies?
posterior temporal lobe
where is superior temporal gyrus
in temporal lobe
where is angular gyrus
parietal lobe
basal ganglia Location and function give three examples
fine automatic movement near lateral ventricles for the brain walking and swinging arms, swallowing salvia, blinking
thalamus location and function
right above brain stem relays sensory and motor input to and from cerebrum
hypothalamus function
regulates endocrine and autonomic function
limbic system function location
lateral to hypothalamus emotion primal instincts
what cranial nerves are in the CNS
1 and 2
RAS
sleep/wake involves communication along stem RF and cerebrum
Reticular formation
group of neurons medula to thal vasomotor and respiratory activity
parietal lobe
sensation
cerebellum function 3 places it gets movement from
voluntary movement, balance, mm joints inner ear
hydrocephalous
build up of fluid in CSF
division of nervous system
central and peripheral. peripheral- autonomic (glands and organs) somatic (sens organs and mm) Autonomic-Sympathetic parasympathetic. Somatic-Motor(efferent) and sensory(Afferent)
3 things that come out of brain into blood
ammonia, lactate, hormones
two things that come into brain via blood
nutrients and hormones
two things the bbb keeps out
water-soluble and ionized drugs
Where is CSF in the brain
Between arachnid and pia
Hemiplegia
paralysis on one side
Nystagmus from?
jerking or bobbing of eyes as the track something legions in cerebellum brain stem vestibular system
Decreased deep tendon reflexes
lower motor legions
Analgesia where?
Loss of pain or sensation thalamus
anesthia where
absence of sensation spinal cord sensor cord,
Astereognosis and where
Can’t recognize form of object with touch parietal cortx
Dysarthria and where
lack of coordination in articulating speech cerebellar or cranial nerve
Dysarthria and where
lack of coordination in articulating speech cerebellar or or CN
Graphistia and sterognosis
Sensory test
Babinski sign
Normal in babes not in adults stimulate dorsal foot and toes go up
Brudizinski
sign of inter cranial pressure knees up head up
kernigs
bad pos with meningitis can’t straighten leg
occulocephalic
doll eye
clonus
flex foot and it trembles
Aphasia dysphasia
impaired language cerebral cortex
Dysphgia
swallowing! GGGG
Dysphgia 2 CN and one place
swallowing! GGGG IX X and brainstem
Diplopia 3 cranial N plus one place
Cerebral CN II. IV, VI
papilledema I CN
II swelling of optic nerve head
