Neuro-final Flashcards
The basal ganglia
Initiates and coordinates movement
The thalamus
Main relay station
The. Integrating center with connections that are crucial to Human emotion and creativity
Hypothalamus
Major first between center with basic vital functions: temperature, appetite, sex drive, heart rate, blood pressure, sleep Center, but to a Terry gland regulator, or needs automatic nervous system and stress response
Cerebellum
Motor coordination of voluntary
Brainstem
Central core of the brain
Cranial nerves 3-6
Frontal
Personality, behavior, emotions, intellectual function
Parietal lobe
Sensation
Occipital lobe
Visual reception
Hearing, taste and smell identify with which lobe
Temporal lobe
How to asses for deep tendon reflexes in the biceps
While supporting the form of the patient, place your index finger over the anti-cubital fossa on the tendon; stroke your finger with the reflex hammer
How to assess the deep tendon reflexes of the triceps?
While supporting the upper arm of the patient with the elbow flexed and relaxed, stretch the tendon just above the elbow
While supporting the form, strike the tendon with the reflex hammer assess for what tendon?
Brachioradialis
How to assess the deep tendon reflexes of the patella
With the patient sitting in knees flexed, strike the tendon just below the Patella
How to assess the deep tendon reflexes of the Achilles
With the patient sitting, grass for it with one hand and stroke the Achilles tendon with the reflex hammer
Babinski
Using the handle of the reflex hammer, stroke the lateral side of the foot and across the ball
Subjective data
Headaches, head injury, dizziness, seizures, tremors, weakness
Seizures
Episodic abnormal electrical discharges(excessive concurrent firing) of cerebral neurons
Encephalitis
Acute inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, involving the meninges, often due to a virus such as herpes simplex virus
Minute giantess
Inflammatory process in the meninges, the membrane around the brain and spinal cord
Intracranial tumors
Abnormal growth or non—year-old tissue within the cranial cavity that may be a primary or metastasized cancer
Stroke
Set an interruption of blood supply to a part of the brain sure of the blood vessels spilling blood into spaces around the brain cells
Myasthenia
Autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular transmission
Guillain Barre syndrome
Autoimmune mediated distraction of Peripheral nerve myelin sheath and inflammation of the nerve roots
Trigeminal neuralgia
We current proxysmal sharp pain that radiates into one or more branches of the fifth cranial nerve
Bell palsy
Temporary acute paralysis or weakness of the side of the face
Peripheral neuropathy
Disorder of the peripheral nervous system that results in motor and sensory loss and the distribution of one or more nerves
