Term
gyrus
Definition
protruding part
Term
sulcus
Definition
depression
Term
fissue
Definition
big sulcus
Term
central sulcus
Definition
separates frontal (motor) lobe from parietal (sensory)
Term
precentral gyrus
Definition
primary motor cortex. the final selection happens here.
Term
post central gyrus
Definition
primary somatosensory cortex. All somatosensory impulses end in the post central gyrus
Term
grey matter represent
Definition
bodies of neurons
Term
white matter represents
Definition
axons. myelin which surrounds the axons is phospholipids and has a color which is white matter
Term
sensory stimuli are first detected by the sensory receptory (peripherally) and then they go to the
Definition
post central gyrus which is the primary somatosensory area
Term
association fiber
Definition
connect areas within the same lobe
Term
commissural fibers
Definition
connect similar areas in the opposite hemisphere. the corpus collosum is a bundle of commissural fibers.
Term
projection fibers
Definition
going down or up depending on what you need to communicate upper structures to lower structures. This is how structures are sent from the cortex to the effectors or from the receptors to he cortex
Term
limbic system
Definition
imp for survival. Takes care of our primary needs and motivates our bodies and determines our behavior based on emotions.
Term
the cortex oversees
Definition
the limbic system
Term
cerebral spinal fluid is produced in the
Definition
choroid plexus in the lateral ventricle.
Term
communication between the lateral ventricles and the third ventricles happens through a little opening called
Definition
foramen munro. from there the CSF will go to the 4th ventricle.
Term
CSF will go from the 3rd venticle to the 4th ventricle by way of an opening known as the
Definition
cerebral aqueduct or sylvian aqueduct
Term
hydrocephalus
Definition
extra CSF
Term
communicating hydrocephalus
Definition
when it can cross from one system to another. the problem occurs with production or reabsorption after it gets to the spinal cord
Term
non-communicating hydrocephalus
Definition
problem in communicating between the venticular and subarachnoid system (an occlusion along the way)
Term
CSF should look
Definition
clear, no proteins, glucose, electroltes, amino acids, acts as a cushion, provides nutrients.
Term
how much csf do we have? how much do we make a day
Definition
150cc/ 500cc
Term
the brain requires how much blood?
Definition
750ml (250 from right carotid, 250 from left carotid, and 250 from basilar artery
Term
3 vessels coming from the aortic arch (brachial cephalic vessel)
Definition
brachial cephalic artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery
Term
brachial cephalic artery is also called
Definition
innominate artery
Term
what supplies structures of the face, mouth, orbit, and scalp
Definition
external carotid
Term
the anterior circulation or carotid circulation will supply ____ of the total arterial blood supply to the cerebrum
Definition
80-85%
Term
basiliar artery is responsible for arterial supply to the
Definition
brainstem, cerebellum, mesencephalon
Term
circle of willis is important bc
Definition
it helps to shunt or move blood from one side to another and from one circulation to another.
Term
through the circle of willis in case of needing blood from the right side is moved to the left side by way of the
Definition
anterior communicating artery
Term
the anterior communicating artery communicates the
Definition
right side with the left side
Term
if you need blood from the anterior circulation to the posterior circulation then you will use the
Definition
posterior cerebral arteries
Term
components of the circle of willis include
Definition
anterior communicating artery, right and left anterior cerebral arteries, right and left middle cerebral arteries, right and left posterior cerebral arteries, right and left posterior communicating arteries
Term
substantia nigra produces
Definition
dopamine
Term
the upper motor neuron is located
Definition
upstairs in the precentral gyrus primart motor cortex frontal lobe
Term
lower motor neuron
Definition
ventral horn of the spinal cord
Term
we don't have veins in the cranial cavity we have
Definition
sinuses
Term
sinuses are made of
Definition
dura mater
Term
motor are always _____ sensory is always _____
Definition
descending, ascending
Term
the pyramid tract (lateral cortico spinal tract) in the medulla oblongata
Definition
crosses to the other side at the decussation which means crossing the pyramids but also bc it is originated fro a particular path of neurons with the shape of the pyramids.
Term
the corticospinal are two lateral and anterior or ventral that
Definition
send impulses to regulate motor activity, usually motor
Term
rubrospinal originates in the
Definition
red nucleus in the spinal cord, so it is descending and motor
Term
upper motor neuron
Definition
originates the fiber in the cortex
Term
lower motor neuron
Definition
one in the spinal cord that receives the impulse after a synapse and sends the motor impulse to the motor effector
Term
the receptor is very specific
Definition
the receptor only dects one type of stimulus and one type of stimulus is detected by this particular receptor.
Term
the transducer is a structure that converts
Definition
one type of energy to another
Term
sensory receptors are known as
Definition
transducers
Term
type of sensory impulse which are pain, superficial pressure, heat/ cold are conducted by the
Definition
spinal thalamic tract
Term
medial lemniscus dorsal column tract
Definition
crossing upstairs in the medulla oblongata
Term
cortico-spinal tract crosses
Definition
downstairs/ at the spinal cord level
Term
the motor descending pathways cross
Definition
at the level of the medulla oblongata
Term
the dorsal column has two different types of fibers known as
Definition
cuneatus and gracilias
