Physio viva final Flashcards
(129 cards)
Function of dorsal column
Carry sensory information of fine touch(tactile sensation),vibration,proprioception
Function of cerebellum
Planning and tuning of skeletal muscle contraction,posture,equilibrium,smooth voluntary movements
Function of basal ganglia
Control reflexes,autonomic,voluntary movement,and group movements for emotional responses
Function of thalamus
Relay station to cortex,cortex alert through connection with RF,centre for crude sensation,and emotional reaction reflexes
Function of bypothalamus
Control of water balance,autonomic,endocrine,emotions,temperature,body weight,metabolism,sexual function,sleep
Ascending and descending tract
Sensory,motor
Ascending tracts and levels
Dorsal medial laminiscus and anteriolateral system,dorsal lateral cuneicerebellar
1st ,2nd,3rd neuron of ascending tract
E.g dorsal column
1 dorsal root
nucleus gracile and cuneatus
decussate at medulla
2 vpl nucleus of thalamus
E.g anterolateral
3 cortex
1.dorsal root(substantial gelinatonsa)
Decuusate in spinal cord
2 vpl thalamus
3 cortex
Tract responsible for pain and temperature
Laterals Spinothalamich tract
Types of pain fibres
Slow C fibers
Fast a delta fibers
Neurotransmitter released in fast pain
Glutamate
What is touch and types of touch
Touch is cutaneous feeling which can be two tyoes crude,fine
Ganglion definition and location
Collection of cell bodies e.g sympathetic parasympathetic ganglia outside CNS ,basal ganglia inside cns
Touch pathways
Fine touch via dorsal medial laminiscL system and crude touch via anterior sponothalmic
Crude and fine touch
Fine touch localised and crude touch not localised
2 point discrimination and how far can it be felt
Sense of touch felt at two different points when stimulated simultaneously.fingertip 1 to 2 cm,dorsal surface 2 to 5,shoulder 7 to 20
Receptors classification
Mechanic,thermo,chemo,electromagnetic,nociceptors
Receptor potential/graded potential
Change in potential of receptor when stimulated caused by opening of certain ions is ftimulus strongenough can cause action potential to be generated
Pain
An unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damagr
Receptors organs
Cells or organ that detect stimulus
Sensation and types
Mechano,thermo,chemo,em,nociceptors
Difference between fast and slow pain
Fast:glutamate,0.1 sec,localised,superficial tissue,A delta
Slow:substance p,1 sec,non localised,deep tissue,C
Exteroceptors and their location
Sensory receptors that detect stimuli originating from outside of the body.Specialized to monitor external environment of body.vibration,pain,vision,sound,pain,temp
Somatotropic representation of body in pre motor and sensors areas
When a specific part of body is associated with a distinct location in CNS.Homunculus of body specifying labelled line principle
