A

Vestibular nuclear complex Sensory nuclei Portions of reticular formation

13
Q

What do myelencephalon medulla pyramids consist of?

A

Lateral corticospinal tracts

14
Q

What is the Myelencephalon medulla olives the site of?

A

Site of nuclei related to cerebellum

15
Q

Metencephalon Pons Nuclei makes up what?

A
  1. cranial nerve nuclei V-VII 2. Pontine nuclei: Relay between cerebrum and cerebellum
16
Q

What do the Mesencephalon Centers make up?

A

Sleep center respiratory centers

17
Q

The Mesencephalon Tectum (Roof) consists of what?

A

Superior colliciuli (visual refelxes) Inferior colliculi (auditory and olfactory reflexes)

18
Q

What does the cerebellum have?

A

Has a cortex

19
Q

What are the functions of cerebellum?

A

coordinate skeletal muscle movement maintain equilibrium and posture synergic control of muscle activity (other muscles are quieted to help other muscles do their job)

20
Q

What is the diencephalon thalamus?

A

major relay center for afferenet and efferent informaiton to and from cerebrum and other areas of the brain… olfactory does not pass through

21
Q

What is the diencephalon epithalamus?

A

habenular nuclei involved in emotional and visceral responses to odors and pineal body

22
Q

What is the Diencephalon hypothalamus?

A

Mamillary bodies involved in olfactory relfexes and emotional responses to odors. Supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei

23
Q

What is the function of the Diencephalon?

A

controls and integrates ANS associated w many kinds of visceral activity intermediary btw nervous and endocrine systems controls normal body temp maintains extracellualr fluid volume biorhythm oscillator

24
Q

What are the parts of the telencephalon?

A

olfactory bulbs basal nuclei (ganglia) And cerebral cortex

25
Q

What is the function of the telencephalon basal nuclei (ganglia)?

A

subconscious motor control and muscle tone

26
Q

What is Anencephaly?

A

Failure of cranial end of neural tube to close

27
Q

What is Arnold- Chiari deformity?

A

Inferior cerebellum and medulla are elongated and protrude into vertebral canal Medulla and pons are small and deformed Hydrocephalus- blockage of fluid flow Malformation of lower cranial nerves -deafness -tongue, facial muscle, lateral eye movement weakness

28
Q

What is spina bifida occulta?

A

Normally hidden results from a failure of the inferior neuropore to close vertebral arches fails to develop in caudal area spinal cord function is usually normal

29
Q

What is spina bifida cystica?

A

Characterized by a sac-like cyst at the caudal end of spine Spinal cords and/or meninges may be found in the cyst Spinal cord funciton may be impaired May be lower extremeity dysfunction Bladder and bowl function may be impaired

30
Q

What is meningocele?

A

Form of spina bifida cystica Only meninges found in sac Spinal cord function may be impaired Signs and symptoms vary depending on location and severity of malformation

31
Q

What is meningomyelocele?

A

Form of spinal bifida cystica Both meninges and spinal cord are found in sac Always results in abnomral growth of spnial cord Lower extremity paralysis Bowel and bladder dysfunction Lillioss of sensation to lower limbs

Q

What is myeloschisis

A

Failure of caudal neural folds to close Most severe of the defects
