Q

Primary motor cortex is within the

A

Frontal lobe

30
Q

The motor cortex is

A

One of the most important areas

31
Q

There are other areas that deal with movement aside from

A

Primary motor cortex

32
Q

Hemispheres control

A

Opposite sides of the body

33
Q

Lower part of motor cortex is for

A

Speech and controls larynx,tongue and lips,face at lower end of PNS

34
Q

The lower end of the primary motor cortex is

A

Immediately adjacent to brocade area

35
Q

Lesion in Broca’s area results in

A

Problems with speech production- movement of articulators

36
Q

Broca’s area is general area for

A

Speech production and comprehension- it works out what motor planning is required for speech production and direct information to the motor cortex to let it know what is needed to produce speech

37
Q

Primary motor cortex

A

Performs movement

38
Q

Broca’s area

A

Inferior frontal gyrus

Pre motor cortex

39
Q

Primary motor cortex has

A

Central role in planning and organisation of motor behaviour required for speech production

40
Q

Prefrontal cortex executive function is

A

Personality

41
Q

Brain-injury patients may have personality changes due to

A

Damage (see also dementia)

42
Q

In dementia, cells

A

Die away and in the area where they die- it will affect functions of these areas

43
Q

Parietal lobe is posterior to

A

Central fissure/sulcus, lower border at Sylvian fissure

44
Q

Parietal lobe received

A

Sensory information from body-speech, eye movement

45
Q

Parietal bone is involved in touch as well

A

And visuospatial processing occurs in this area

46
Q

Within the parietal lobe, the primary sensory cortex responds

A

To touch and pain stimuli

47
Q

Within the parietal bone, posterior parietal cortex processed

A

Different stimuli to help plan motor acts

48
Q

Within the parietal lobe, the angular gyrus sits at

A

Junction of parietal,occipital and temporal lobes

49
Q

Lesions are

A

High order language processing (e.g metaphor)

50
Q

Within the parietal lobe, the supramarginal gyrus is involved in

A

Word meaning, ability to connect word meanings with action patterns (e.g show me how to whistle)

51
Q

The temporal lobe is

A

Low side of hemisphere. Upper border to frontal/parietal at Sylvian fissure

52
Q

Lower lobe is closest to

A

The ear

53
Q

There is three major gyri of the temporal lobe

A

Superior
Inferior
Medial

54
Q

Main functions of temporal lobe are

A

Perception and comprehension of speech and language and formation of long term memory

55
Q

The primary auditory cortex is the

A

First cortical location for processing auditory signals and receives basic signals and analyses

56
Q

The auditory association area receives

A

Basic analysis and performs higher level analysis

57
Q

Pre motor cortex:

A

Speech and language perception and understanding
First place when information from the ear goes to the primary auditory cortex
Plays a fairly important part for speech and language perception and understanding

58
Q

Wernickes area is involved with

A

Speech and language comprehension but also primary auditory cortex (speech sounds)
Other areas of temporal,parietal , frontal (complex meaning)

59
Q

Occipital bone is

A

Posterior parts of hemispheres. It is the smallest lobe and is primary visual cortex

60
Q

Occipital lobe

A

Processes visual information as it contains the primary visual cortex

61
Q

Insula is the

A

Cortex/lobe underneath Sylvian fissure

62
Q

Insula is involved in

A

Speech and language and swallowing- coordinate high level of speech and language production

63
Q

The Limboc system is structures within

A

Cerebrum involved with emotions, motivations, memory and adaptive functions

64
Q

The Limbic system is composed of

A

Cingulate gyrus
Hippocampus
Amygdala
Basal ganglia

65
Q

Cerebral connections include

A

Projection tracts and association tracts

66
Q

Projection tracts are

A

Corticobulbar

Corticospinal and has long axons and cortex to brainstem/ spinal cord

67
Q

Association tracts are

A

Arcuate fasciculus and is interhemispheric (within and between lobes)

68
Q

The arcuate fasciculus connects speech and language cortical areas in

A

Frontal, temporal and parietal bones

69
Q

Wernickes to angular gyri

A

To supra-marginal gyri to Broca’s

70
Q

The corticobulbar tract: bulbar=brainstem

Fibres originate in cortex (cell bodies) and end in brainstem

A

Fibres for control of facial, jaw, tongue, velopharyngeal and laryngeal muscles connect with lower motor neurons

71
Q

Cortex down to midbrain

A

To pons to medulla

72
Q

Corticospinal tract: fibres originate in cortex (cell bodies)

A

And end in spinal cord. (Lower motor neurons)

Cortex to midbrain to pons to medulla to spinal cord
