Q

What are 5 reasons SLPs need to know Neurology?

A
  1. Common terminology
  2. choose appropriate testing instumpents
  3. knowing the type of Brian and what it injury could cause in a certain part of the brain
  4. document change / efficiency of treatment
  5. neruroplacity can help plan and effective treatment

A

away from the bodies midline

side of the brain

23
Q

Medial

A

to midline

middle of the brain

24
Q

proximal ?

A

the point nearest limb attachment

25
Distal ?
point far way from attachment
26
peripheral ?
to the surface
27
central ?
to the center
28
ipsilateral ?
on the same side
29
contralateral ?
opposite side
30
gyrus ?
bumpy areas
31
sulcus ?
depressions
32
Fissures ?
deep depressions
33
lobes?
places across the brain that have specific functions
34
what are the 4 lobes?
1. frontal 2. partial lobe 3. occipital lobe 4. temporal lobe
35
What is the Anatomical Approach?
Based on gross anatomy of nervous systems
36
What is the functional approach?
Based on the function of the nervous systems of voluntary and involuntary
37
In the Functional approach what two nervous systems are there?
1. Sensory / Afferent | 2. Motor / Efferent
38
What are the two branches of Sensory Systems in the Functional approach?
1. Somatosensory | 2. Visceral
39
Afferent?
Gets information and brings in to the nervous system
40
in the the functional approach what is Somatosensory?
in charge of pain / pressure
41
in the functional approach what is the Visceral in charge for?
in charge of hunger / thirst / organs | no control
42
in the functional approach what does efferent mean ?
takes information out of nervous system and sends it to our face/ hands
43
in the functional approach what 2 branches are in the motor system?
1. Automatic | 2. somatic
44
in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system?
acts as a control system functioning outside levels of consciousness
45
in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system examples?
1. heart rate 2. breathing 3. sexual arousal
46
in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system divides in to two main branches?
1. parasympathetic | 2. Sympathetic
47
parasympathetic ?
Rest Digest conserves energy blood pressure down, slow down breathing
48
Sympathetic ?
fight / flight makes you ready dilates eyes
49
Somatic?
Motor signals out of our control
50
what is the developmental approach ?
Looks at the brain organization based on what has happened during development
