Practical I Flashcards
Alpha (what happens, Hz, uV)
8-13Hz
30-50 uV
eyes closed, no mental activity, regular low rhythm
occipital and frontal cortex
Beta (what happens, Hz, uV)
14-30Hz
<20uV
awake/alert and or concentrated; higher frequency more erratic
not prominent on areas of cortical damage
Theta (what happens, Hz, uV)
4-7Hz
<30uV
awake, mostly in awake children or sleeping everyone
low: decreased arousal, more sleepy
high: working memory
Delta
30-50Hz
integrating information to create a mental picture
perception, consciousness
REM
first 5-10 and last 20-50 mins
stage 1
light sleep, less beta, alpha, more delta; drowsy and drifting in and out of consciousness
stage 2
light sleep, irregular theta, sleep spindles and K complex
stage 3
delta shown in 50% of time; deep sleep
stage 4
delta; bedwetting, nightmares
REM vs NREM
REM: dreaming, irregular breathing HR, BP; rapid eye movement, norepinephrine, cortocoste.; OREXIN released to wakeup
NREM: first 30-45 mins stage 1 and 2; stage 3 and 4 is Slow Wave Sleep; serotonin increases, dec bp, hr, rr, muscle tone
reticular activating sys
Hypothalamus times sleep cycle
The supra-chiasmic nucleus regulates the preoptic nucleus inhibiting the brain stem’s RAS putting the cerebral cortex to sleep
The RAS maintains
Awake state
Mediating sleep stages
sleep spindles and K complex
Sleep spindles: are short bursts of 12-14 Hz waves
K complexes: sudden increasing in wave amplitude
Procedural memory
Skill
Practiced over and over again
Reinforcement memory
Ex: sports
Motor memory
Ability to repeat same muscle movement
Different bc you have to remember exact muscle used and control it to repeat the same action)
emotional memory
Event associated w a sentiment
Declarative memory
facts
Short term limited to 6-7 parts of
Long term
Repetition is what commits to long term
Spinal accessory n. XI (motor)
innervates/ pathway: sternocleidomasteoid and trapezius muscles
Hypoglossal n. XII (motor)
innervates/ pathway: muscles of tongue
Vagus Nerve X (motor and sensory)
innervates/ pathway: motor and sensory fibers to the visceral body organs
pathology: dysphagia, vocal cord weakness, alt the parasympathetic tone of thorax and abdomen
infraorbital nerve
innervates/ pathway: lower lid and upper lip; infraorbital canal
phrenic nerve
innervates/ pathway: diaphragm muscles control breathing, both nerves go from C3-5 then divide into thorax to pass between lungs and heart
suprascapular nerve
supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles; suprascapular notch
subscapular nerves
innervates/ pathway: subscapularis, teres ,ajor and latissimus dorsi
