physio 2 Flashcards
what does the telecephalon give rise to
basal ganglia, olfactory lobes and nerves, and cerebral hemispheres
what does the diencephalon give rise to
epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus and infundibulum
what does the mesencephalon give rise to
cerebral aqueduct, superior & inferior colliculi, tegmentum
what does the met encephalon give rise to
cerebellum, pons
what does the myelencephalon give rise to
medulla oblongata and posterior choroid plexus
describe primary motor areas
direct connections with specific muscles
describe primary sensory areas
detect specific sensations
describe secondary motor areas
provide patterns of motor activity
describe secondary sensory areas
analyze meanings of specific sensory signals
what are the characteristics of tonic receptors
slow adapting, detect continuous stimulus strength, transmit impulses as long as stimulus is present
describe primary sensory neurons (ascending pathways)
from external receptors and travel through dorsal roots of spinal cord
describe secondary neurons (ascending pathways)
make up tracts in spinal cord and brainstem (neurons typically terminate in thalamus)
describe tertiary neurons (ascending pathways)
from thalamus to primary sensory cortex (travel through internal capsule)
what does the anterolateral spinothalamic tract carry
pain and temperature
where do the secondary axis of the anterolateral spinothalamic tract decussate
through anterior gray and white matter commissures
what does the medial lemniscus system carry
sensations for 2-point sensation (fine touch), pressure and vibration
where do the primary fibers synapse with the secondary neurons (medial lemniscus system)
in medulla
describe group 1a fibers
fibers from annulospiral endings of muscle spindles
describe group 1b fibers
fibers from golgi tendon organs
describe group 2 fibers
from cutaneous tactile receptors and flow-spray
describe group 3 fibers
carry temperature, crude touch and pricking pain
describe group 4 fibers
carry slow chronic pain, itch temperature and crude touch
where do W ganglion cells get most of their excitation
from rods transmitted by way of small bipolar cells and amacrine cells
what type of ganglion cells are responsible for vision
X
describe potassium concentration of endolymph
high potassium concentration
what are muscle spindles innervated by
small gamma motor neurons
what does the sensory region of the muscle spindle function as
sensory receptor
what does the muscle spindle detect
changes in muscle length
