Q

What is the diencephalon thalamus?

A

Major relay center for afferent and efferent information to and from cerebrum and other areas of the brain……olfactory does not pass through

22
Q

What is the diencephalon epithalamus?

A

Habenular nuclei involved in emotional and visceral responses to odors and pineal body

23
Q

What is the diencephalon hypothalamus?

A

Mamillary bodies involved in olfactory relexes and emotional responses to odors
Supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei

24
Q

What is the function of the diencephalon?

A

Controls and integrates ANS
Associated with many kinds of visceral activity
Intermediary between nervous and endocrine systems
Controls normal body temp
Maintains extracellular fluid volume
Biorhythm oscillator

25
Q

What are the parts of the telencephalon?

A

Olfactory bulbs
Basal nuclei (ganglia)
And cerebral cortex

26
Q

What is the function of the telencephalon basal nuclei (ganglia)?

A

Subconscious motor control and muscle tone

27
Q

What is anecephaly?

A

Failure of cranial end of neural tube to close

28
Q

What is arnold-chiari deformity?

A

Inferior cerebellum and medulla are elongated and protrude into vertebral canal
Medulla and pons are small and deformed
Hydrocephalus-blockage of fluid flow
Malformation of lower cranial nerves: deafness; tongue, facial muscle, lateral eye movement weakness

29
Q

What is spina bifida occulta?

A

Normally hidden
Results from a failure of the inferior neuropore to close
Vertebral arches fails to develop in caudal area
Spinal cord function is usually normal

30
Q

What is spina bifida cystica?

A

Characterized by a sac=-like cyst at the caudal end of spine
Spinal cords and/or meninges may be found in the cyst
Spinal cord function may be impaired
May be lower extremity dysfunction
Bladder and bowl function may be impaired

31
Q

What is menigocele?

A

Form of spina bifida cystica
Only meninges found in sac
Spinal cord function may be impaired
Signs and symptoms vary depending on location and severity of malformation

32
Q

What is meningomyelocele?

A

Form of spinal bifida cystica
Both meninges and spinal cord are found in sac
Always results in abnormal growth of spinal cord
Lower extremity paralysis
Bowel and bladder dysfunction
Loss of sensation to lower limbs

33
Q

What is myeloschisis

A

Failure of caudal neural folds to close

Most severe of the defects

34
Q

What is holoprosencephaly?

A

Failure of prosencephalon to divide into two cerebral hemispheres
Often associated with facial deformities
–single orbit with two eyes or one eye or no eye
–probosics type nose located above eye
–cleft lip and palate
