Q

Anatomical planes of the CNS

A
46
Q

Radiological orientation

A
47
Q

Cerebral cortex functional aspects

A
  • thought
  • awareness
  • perception
  • language
  • consciousness
48
Q

Lobes of the cerebral cortex

A

Frontal lobe

Parietal Lobe

Temporal lobe

Occipital lobe

49
Q

Identify

A
50
Q

Insular cortex Function

A

some sensory stuff gustatory

“Taste”

51
Q

Gustatory definition

A

concerned with tasting or the sense of taste.

52
Q

Identify

A
53
Q

Longitudinal fissure function

A

separates 2 lobes

54
Q

Pre and postcentral gyrus

A
55
Q

Precentral Gyrus is?

A

Motor cortex

56
Q

Post Central Gyrus is?

A

Sensory Cortex

57
Q

Motor Cortex motor orientation

A

Right side of brain controls left side of body

58
Q

Homunculus meaning

A

little man

59
Q

Question 4

A

Loss of sensation of the right side

60
Q

Identify

A
61
Q

If lesion in the left primary auditory cortex

A

wont have loss of hearing because the vestibulocochlear nerve is bilaterally crossed

only loss of hearing would be lesions of cochlea, nerves, or brainstem nuclei but past this everything is bilateral

62
Q

Primary visual cortex and visual fields

A

left visual field, right visual cortex

Right visual field, left visual cortex

63
Q

cortex associated with olfaction

A

Perirhinal cortex

64
Q

Primary cortex for taste sensation

A

insular cortex

65
Q

Brodmann’s areas

A
66
Q

Language areas of the brain

A

Broca’s Area

Wernicke’s Area

typically found in the left cerebral cortex

67
Q

Broca’s Area Brodmann’s Area #

A

Area 44, 45

68
Q

Wernicke’s Area Brodmann’s Area #

A

Area 22

69
Q

Typically considered the dominant hemisphere for language

A

Left hemisphere

70
Q

Wernicke’s Aphasia

A

Receptive/sensory aphasia

Deficits in language comprehension

speaks in word salad and not make sense

71
Q

Broca’s Aphasia

A

Expressive/Motor aphasia

Deficits in production of language but comprehension intact

72
Q

A
74
Q

Identify

A
75
Q

CSF is produced by?

A

Choroid plexus

76
Q

CSF Production rate

A

25mL/hr

500mLs per day

77
Q

Which ventricles have choroid plexus

A

All of them

78
Q

Obstruction of flow in ventricles

A

since CSF is produced at a constant rate, any obstruction can cause increase in pressure and result in hydrocephalus

79
Q

Identify

A

Cerebral aqueduct

80
Q

Question 6

A

Aqueduct because lateral and 3rd ventricles are enlarged but the others are not

81
Q

Thalamus properties

A

forms wall of third ventricle

all sensory modalities synapses and relays in the thalamus except for olfactory

Non sensory modalities also relay on the way to the cortex including; (basal ganglia, cerebellum, limbic pathways, and brainstem reticular formation

Reciprocal connections

82
Q

Identify

A
83
Q

Identify ventricles

A

lateral and 3rd ventricles

84
Q

What forms the anterior-inferior wall of the 3rd ventricle

A

Hypothalamus

85
Q

Hypothalamus function

A
86
Q

Identify

A
87
Q

Caudate and putamen are often referred to as?

A

Striatum

88
Q

Putamen and globus pallidus are also known as?

A

lenticular nuclei

89
Q

Basal ganglia is involved in

A

movement processing, damage can cause movement disorders but not really paralysis

90
Q

fibers of the internal capsule separate

A

thalamus from globus paladus and putamen

also

putamen and globus paladus from the caudate

91
Q

How does CSF flow

A

lateral ventricles into the 3rd ventricle via foramina of monroe then from 3rd to 4th through cerebral aqueduct, 4th ventricle can go to central canal of spinal cord but in most adults is closed, however, can leave foramen Magendie and foramen of Lushka
