Allows for smooth eye movements, Coordinates responses to balance reaction
Vestibulocerebellum
Coordinates postural adjustments,automatic movements such as gait.
Spinocerebellum
Coordinates Voluntary fine motor movement extremities, planning of movements, timing
Cerebrocerebellum
Cerebellar connections with lower structures are_____. Unlike connections with the cortex and other structures which are____.
ipsilateral, C/L
The cerebellum affects the ____side of the body?
Ipsilateral
What is inflammation of the parenchyma of the brain and the surrounding meninges.
Encephalitis
What is the difference between Meningitis, Ecephalitis, and Cerebritis?
- inflammation of the meninges. Viral more common than bacterial. Caused by other viruses. Spread by coughing or sneezing or poor hygiene.
- parenchyma of the brain and meninges. Most often is due to a viral infection with parenchymal damage.
- Abscess formation and implies a highly destructive bacterial infection of the brain tissue.
Which form of meningitis is thought to be rare and fatal?
bacterial
How does bacteria meningitis manifest itself?
through the exchange of respiratory and throat secrections, such as coughing and kissing, but cannot live outside the body for long. They cannot be picked up from water supplies, pools, and buildings.
The peak incidence of intracranial tumors occurs in 2 age ranges. which are?
2 to 12 and 50 to 70
What are the associated symptoms and lobe function with Frontal Lobe brain tumors?
Associated Symptoms: C/L hemiparesis, execessive aphasia, poor centration, loss of insight and judgement, impulsiveness, personality changes.
Function: Voluntary motor function, speech-broca’s area, abstract thinking, judgement, insight, tact/inhibition.
What are the associated symptoms and lobe function with Parietal Lobe brain tumors?
Associated Symptoms: C/L sensory disturbance (touch, pressure, and proprioception) Tactile Agnosia.
Function: Sensory Interpretation
What are the associated symptoms and lobe function with Occipital Lobe brain tumors?
Associated Symptoms: Visual Field Deficits, Visual Agnosia.
Function: Primary visual reception, Interpretation of vision.
What are the associated symptoms and lobe function with Temporal Lobe brain tumors?
Associated Symptoms: Receptive Aphasia, Impairment of Intellect.
Function: Primary Auditory Reception, Werinicke’s Area, Integration of somatic, auditory and visuospatial association areas.
Recent epidemilogic reviews have determined about ____% of primary intracranial tumors are glimoas?
50%
What is the normal ICP pressure range?
4 or 5 to 10-15mmHg
ICP at rest is normally____mmHG in supine (adult)?
7-15mmhg
ICP depends on the position the patient is in, when you lie someone down what happens to blood pressure?
goes up due to the vagovasal response.
What happens to the ICP in a the vertical position?
becomes negative (averaging -10mmHG)
Since the skull is ____ and ___vessel, swelling results in increased pressure that can occlude _______?
rigid, closed vessel, occlude cerebral circulation.
T/F a mild increase in ICP can increase morbidity?
true
Severe increases in ICP (>40mmhg) can cause what?
deformation of the brain and herniation of cerebral matter: uncal, central, tonsillar.
According to the Glasgow Coma scale, a mild brain injury, frequently w/o residual deficits s/p 3 months is considered to be a score of-____
> 12
According to the Glasgow Coma Scale the cut off range for “comatose” is?
9-12
