Week 7- Concussion Flashcards
What can concussion effect
Cognitive
Physical
Emotional
Sleep
What happens to injured neurons
They leak chemicals affecting their function
What is the neocortex
Outer portion of cerebral hemispheres
6 layer outer cortex where higher order functions happen
Describe motor cortex structure
sparse granule cell layers and extensive pyramidalcell layers reflecting extensive output
Describe sensory cortex structure
large granule cell layers (granularcortex) for receiving extensive input
Name 3 functional areas
Motorareas- controls voluntary movement
Sensory areas- conscious awareness of sensation
Association- integrates/associates with motor and sensory cortex
Which sulcus is frontal lobe near
• Extends in front of the centralsulcus and above the lateralsulcus
Precentral gyrus
Name vertabral artery
Anterior and posterior spinal branches
name 3 types of functional areas
motor, sensory and association
what is a motor area
controls voluntarymovement
what is a sensory area
consciousawareness of sensation
what is a association area
integrates or associates with motor and sensory cortex
list primary motor area of frontal lobe
Premotor area* Motor speech area of Broca* Frontal eye field* Prefrontal area
what is the Contralateral motor control in regards to the primary motor area
areas on the left side of the body that dont work are affected due to the right side of the brain
what is the inverted motor homunculus diagram in regards to the primary motor area
a diagram displaying what primary motor area affects i.e. face
where is the primary motor area loctaed. give its clinical correlation
on the precentral gyrus
lesions in onehemisphere- spastic paralysis of theopposite half of the body
function of preomotor area and its clinical correlation
Programmes the activity ofprimary motor area
difficultyin performing skilledmovements
where is premotor area located
anteriro to primary motor area
