hypothalamus

A

integrates endocrine, autonomic function

22
Q

Superior colliculus

A

visual reflexes

23
Q

inferior colliculus

A

auditory reflexes

24
Q

cerebral aqueduct

A

connect 3rd and 4th ventricle

25
pyramids
contain descending corticospinal fibers
26
olives
contain olivary nuclear complex (modulates motor activity
27
ventricular foramen of monro
connects 3rd to lateral
28
aqueduct of sylvius/ cerebral aqueduct
connects 3rd and 4th ventricles
29
lateral foramen of luschka
4th vent to subarachnoid
30
medial foramen of magendie
4th vent to subarachnoid
31
CSF goes from arachnoid granulations into
Superior sagittal sinus
32
innervation of dura mater
CN V and X
33
extradural/epidural hematoma
middle meningeal artery
34
subdural hematoma
vein (shaken baby)
35
subarachnoid hematoma
cerebral arteries and veins
36
Corticospinal tract
(pyramidal tract) | purely motor
37
spinothalamic tract
purely sensory for pain/temp
38
posterior (dorsal) column
purely sensory for vibration/position sense
39
P-gp inhbitors
``` Vera CAN QUIt -Verapamil cyclosporin amiodarone nifedipine Quinidine ```
40
Brodmann area 4
primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus)
41
Brodmann area 6
Premotor cortex and supplementary motor cortex
42
Broadman area 3,1, 2
primary somatosensory cortex
43
premotor area/ motor association area
leaned movements, voluntary/planned movements- | - lesion = can't brush teath
44
somatosensory association areas
interpret significance of sensory input | -lesion = cant recognize object in hand
45
visual association area
interprets what we see | - visual agnosia = cant recognize objects in opposite visual field
46
Lesion in right posterior parietal cortex
contralateral neglect syndrome
47
Agnosia
can't recognize objects | - temporal lobe defect
48
arcuate fasiculus
connects language centers
49
Vestibulocerebellum structures and function
vestibular nuclei, fastigial nuclei, floccolonodular lobe, inferior paravermis - balance, stability, head/neck/eye movement
50
spinocerebellum
anterior lobe, vermis, paravermis | - coordinate trun kand proximal limb movement
51
cerebrocerebellum
lateral posterior lobe | - fine motor planning of limbs, anticipates consequences of movements
