23
Q

what is the function of the frontal eye field of cortex

A

control visual attention and eye movements
elicits saccadic eye movemtsn

24
Q

how does vision get received from the eye and travel to the cortex

A

retina > optic nerve > optic chiasm> optic tract> lateral geniculate nucleus of thalamus > optic radiations > visual cortex

25
Q

what would a lesion to the optic nerve causes

A

blindness in ipsilateral eye

26
Q

what would a lesion to the optic tract causes

A

homonymous hemianopsia

27
Q

what would a lesion to the optic chiasm causes

A

bitemporal hemianopsia

28
Q

what would a lesion to the meyers loop causes

A

a contralateral homonymous superior quadrantanopia

29
Q

what would a lesion to the visual cortex cause

A

homonymous hemianopsia and scotomas with bilateral lesions causing cortical blindness

30
Q

describe homonymous hemianospia and how it will impact treatments

A

same halves of the visual field from each eye is lost, you will need to make sure the patient turns their head and body to compensate for the loss of vison

31
Q

describe neglect and how it will impact treatments

A

unawareness or unresponsiveness to objects , people and other stimuli. patient will have to turn their head and body a lot to see the affected side

32
Q

what is the function of CN 8

A

hearing and balance

33
Q

what is the function of the superior olive

A

sound localization

34
Q

what is the function of the nucleus of the lateral lemniscus

A

carries information about sound from the choclear nucleus to brainstem and ultimately the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain

35
Q

what is the funciotn of the reticular formation for the auditory system

A

effect of sound on CNS

36
Q

what is the function of the inferior colliculus for the auditory system

A

serves as the main brainstem nuclei for auditory function

37
Q

what is the function of the medial geniculate body of the thalamus

A

directs auditory attention

38
Q

what is the function of the primary auditory cortex and how is it organized

A

organized tonotopically, supporting basic auditory functions

39
Q

what is the function of the secondary auditory cortex

A

compares sounds with memories of sounds to categorize them

40
Q

what is the function of the internal acoustic meatus

A

allows the passes of CN 7 , 8 and labyrinthine artery

41
Q

describe how sounds get receives from the ear and travels to the cortex

A

sound waves come into the ear and vibrate the fluid in the cochlea which stimulates hair cells , the hair cells depolarize and send signals to the cochlear nucleus > superior olive > infeiro colliculus > medial geniculate > primary auditory cortex

42
Q

what is the function of the anterior semicircular canal with ampullae

A

detects forward and back head movements

43
Q

what is the function of the posterior semicircular canal

A

detects head tilt like tipping the head toward the shoulders

44
Q

what is the function of the horizontal semicircular canal

A

detects horizontal movements of the head , like swiveling side to side

45
Q

what is the function of the utricle

A

orientation and static balance , horizontal tilt

46
Q

what is the function of the saccule

A

orientation and balance , vertical tilt

47
Q

what is the function of the CN 8 in the vestibular system

A

provides info about one’s body in space and time

48
Q

what is the function of the medial longitudinal fasciculus in the vestibular system

A

integrates movements of the eyes and heads to keep balance

49
Q

what is the function of the vestibulocerebellum

A

controls balance and eye movements

50
Q

what is the function of the medial vestibulospinal tract

A

performs synchronization of the movements of the eyes with the movements of the head

51
Q

what is the function of the lateral vestibulospinal tract

A

coordinates orientation of the head and body in space

52
Q

what is teh function of the reticulospinal tract in the vestibular system

A

controls posture to help orient head

53
Q

what is the function of the vestibular cortex

A

interacts with visual cortex to mediate self perception and balance

54
Q

what is the function of the parietoinsular vestibular cortex

A

core region of vestibular input into the cortical region , integrates and processes sensory inputs

55
Q

what is the function of CN 11 in the vestibular system

A

helps move the head to keep it oriented

56
Q

describe how information gets received from the vestibular apparatus and travels to the cortex . differentiate between peripheral and central systems

A

the peripheral vestibular systems goes all the way from the labyrinth to the connections of the peripheral nerve into the vestibular nuclei

the central vestibular systems includes the central vestibular nuclei in the brain stem , the vestibular cerebellar connection , the vestibular ocular pathways and the vestibular spinal pathways
