A

middle cerebral artery

motor aphasia

19
Q

associated with amygdala

pleasure or pain

A

limbic system

20
Q

inhibits thalamus, provides background muscle tone

A

basal ganglia

21
Q

pill rolling tremor, mask like face
forward stoop posture
shuffling propulsive gate
inclusion bodies - lewy bodies

A

parkinson’s dz
due to:
decreased dopamine from substantia nigra in midbrain

22
Q

secretes GABA

23
Q

putamen + caudate

24
Q

globus pallidus + putamen

25
hunger, thirst, temp regulation, sex, rage, fear
hypothalamus
26
balance, equilibrium, involuntary coordination, unconscious proprioception
cerebellum
27
quiet, meditative | disappear in sleep
alpha waves
28
intense mental activity | REM sleep
beta waves
29
deep sleep or coma | ARAS ascending reticular activating system = wakes up the cortex
delta waves
30
normal in children, abnormal in adults (stress, suicide) | 2nd-3rd stage of sleep
theta waves
31
cerebrum fibers: | connect same hemipshere from frontal to temporal
association
32
cerebrum fibers: | connect L to R brain
commissural
33
cerebrum fibers: | connect up and down both directions
projection
34
blood brain barrier | stores glucose
astroycytes + tight capillary beds
35
macrophages
microglia
36
line ventricles, CSF
ependymal cells
37
myelin in CNS
oligodendrocytes | derived from neural tube
38
demyelinization of CNS
MS
39
myelin in PNS
schwann cells | derived from neural crest
40
demyelinization of PNS
guillian barre = ascending polyradiculopathy
41
allows peristalsis
meissner's (mucosal) and auerbach's (muscular) plexuses | derived from neural crest
42
inhibit alpha motor neuron, (-) feedback
renshaw cells
