Final Exam Flashcards
TBI
brain dysfunction that is non degenerative and is caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head, physical cognitive function
Dementia
clinical syndrome characterized by deterioration and at least one other cognitive function sever enough to impact activities of daily living
Aphasia
language disorders resulting from damage to the brain areas that subserve the formulation and understanding of language and its components (semantic, phonological, morphological and syntactic knowledge)
incidence of aphasia
1 in 250 million americans have aphasia
100,00 per year
differential diagnosis
defining or identifying the presence or absence of a disorder, type and degree, and in the presence or ansnce of the communication disorders
paraphasia lexical
substitution of one word for another, often
phonemic paraphasia
substitution of sounds or sound combinations
neologistic
substitution of new word with no meaning
mixed paraphasia
a lexical type of paraphasia in which the substitution os related to the meaning and by sound
look for book
perseveration
inappropriate continuation or recurrence of an earlier response after the task requirement has changed
circumlocution
definition of a word by a description or use de to the inability to name of produce specific verbal injury
jargon
profusion of utterance, most of which is incomprehensible to listeners
apraxia
motor speech disturbance sue to incoordination of movement in the absence of muscle weakness
dysarthria
motor speech disorder caused by weakness in the muscles needed for respiration, phonation, articulation and or resonance
agnosia
failure to recognize a stimulus in a sensory modality, when the sensory mechanism is intact, no decrease in visual or auditory acuity
alexia
reading difficulty
agraphia
writing difficulty
hemorrhagic stroke
bleeding wishing cerebral tissues
ischemic
blockage
neoplasm
tumor
CNS
brain,spinal cord, cerebellum, brainstem, white matter
PNS
cranial nerves 12 pairs
spinal nerves 31 pairs
PNS contd
somatic nervous system- involuntary movement
autonomic- hearts, gland, digestion,
sympathetic-fight or flight
parasympathetic- resting
lobes of the brain
frontal
parietal- top
temporal- bottom
occipital
hills of the brain
gyri
valleys of the brain
sulci
location of the ventricles
medial to the temporal lobes
corona radiata
projection fiber path way
corpus collasum
connects the two hemispheres
widely distributed processing
language function depends on a complex interaction between the reticular activating system, subcortical gray and white matter structures, the non-dominant hemisphere and regions in the zone of language
Wernickes area
comprehension of language
broca’s area
planning of articulatory movement
insular cortex
cortical structure deep within the lateral fissure between the temporal lobe and the frontal lobe
angular gyrus
connects the visual system with the spoken language system
thalamus
participates in word finding and speech coordination
basal ganglia
filter and regulate movement
functions of the non-dominant hemisphere
body language proxemics facial expression emotional content suprasegmental- rate, rhythm, pitch
cerebellum
coordinates and regulates motor plans to assure smooth, accurate and timely articulation movement
CT scan
technology combining x-ray and computer analysis
fMRI
technology which measures positioning of hydrogen atoms in neural tissue during discrete language or cognitive tasks
PET
measures metabolic activity by detecting radioactivity over the brain following injections of isotopes
MEG
brain mapping, measure of magnetic fields produced by flow of ions within neurons
EEG
measures electrical signals emitted by neural activity
angiography
imaging produced by visualizing injection of dye into arterial circulation under fluroscope
cortical mapping
technology which electrical signals emitted by neural activity
phonemic cue
visual cue
*watch my mouth
semantic cue
verbal cue
*its another type of fruit
verbal closure
soap and ……
grapheme cue
it starts with a “M”
tactile cue
put your tongue here using a device to show you where to put your tongue
direct activation pathway
pyramidal tract
extrapyramidal tract
multiple synapses between cortex and lower motor neurons
cerebellar
coordinates timing and duration of movement
subsystems affected in dysarthria
respiration phonation prosody articulation resonance
final common pathway
lower motor neuron system
aphasia
disruption of linguistic planning results in difficulties with syntax, word-finding and comprehension
apraxia of speech
disruption of interface between linguistic planning and movements needed to produce speech results in error of omission and commission to articulation, without muscle weakness
dysarthria
disruption of the neural signal required for subsequent muscular contraction results in weak,absent , or dyscoordinated movements for respiration, resonance, phonation, and articulation
