Physiology Part 2 Flashcards
somatosensory area
postcentral gyrus (parietal lobe)
visual sensory area
occipital lobe, striate cortex, calcarine fissure
auditory sensory area
superior temporal lobe, Heschl’s gyrus
gustatory sensory area
base of postcentral gyrus
olfactory sensory area
medial temporal lobe
Receptive portion of language sensory area (superior temporal lobe)
Wernicke’s
Expressive portion of language sensory area (inferior posterior frontal lobe)
Broca’s
Motor area
Precentral gyrus (frontal lobe)
Skilled movements (anterior to motor cortex)
Premotor area
Coordination of muscle contractions
cerebellum
cerebellar lesions lead to
SIN
(slurred speech/staccato, Intention tremor, Nystagmus)
main relay between cord and brain
thalamus
controls ANS and endocrine system,
releases somatostatin
hypothalamus
decreases secretion of insulin and glucagon
somatostatin
emotional aspects of behavior related to survival
limbic system
superior and inferior colliculi
origin of CN III and IV
Midbrain
breathing
origin of CN V-VIII
Pons
Origin of CN VIII-XII
Medulla
dark spots that are a result of aging (oxidation)
lipofuscin
pacemaker
sinus (SA) node
CN that decreases heart rate
vagus (X)
ectopic focus if SA node “dies”
AV node takes over
semilunar valves
pulmonic and aortic
QRS=?
ventricular depol and atrial repol
