Motor speech = ___
Sensory speech = ___
Broca’s
Wernike’s
This occurs w/sudden peripheral vasodilatation, w/out a compensatory rise in CO. HR, then B/P fall.
Vasovagal syncope
This occurs w/inadequate vasoconstrictor reflexes in both arterioles and veins, w/resultant venous pooling, decreased CO, and low B/P.
Orthostatic/postural hypotension
___ seizures are conceptualized as originating w/in networks limited to one hemisphere.
Focal
W/this type of seizure, the person loses consciousness suddenly, sometimes w/a cry, and the body stiffens. Breathing briefly stops and the person becomes cyanotic. Then a phase of rhythmic muscular contraction follows. Breathing resumes and is often noisy w/excessive salivation. Injury tongue biting, and urinary incont may occur.
Tonic-clonic/grand mal
W this type of a seizure, there is a sudden brief lapse of consciousness w/momentary blinking, staring, or movements of the lips and hands but no falling. Typical last less then 10 secs and stop abruptly, whereas atypical may last more than 10 secs.
Absence
W/this type of seizure, there is sudden, brief, rapid jerks, involving the trunk or limbs.
Myoclonic
W/this type of seizure there is sudden loss of consciousness w/falling but no movements. Injury may occur.
Myoclonic attack/drop attack
___ may mimic seizures but are d/t a conversion reaction. Typically a psychological disorder.
Pseudoseizures
These occur at rest and may decrease or disappear w/voluntary movement. Typically present as relatively slow, fine, pill-rolling tremor, as shown in ___.
Resting/static tremors, parkinsons
These appear when the affected part is actively maintaining a posture. Examples include the fine rapid tremor of hyperthyroidism, tremors of anxiety, and benign essential tremor.
postural tremors
These are absent w/rest, appear w/movement and often get worse as the target gets closer.
Intention tremors
These are rhythmic, repetitive, bizarre movements that chiefly involve the face, mouth, jaw, and tongue. There is typically grimacing, pursing of the lips, protrusions of the tongue, opening and closing of the mouth, and deviations of the jaw.
oral-facial dyskinesias
These are brief, repetitive, stereotyped, coordinated movements occurring at irregular intervals. Examples include repetitive winking, grimacing, and shoulder shrugging as seen in ___.
Tics, Tourette’s
These are slower w/more twisting and writhing and most commonly involve the face and the distal ext. Often seen in ___ ___.
Athetosis, cerebral palsy
