Terms Flashcards
(35 cards)
Posterior
towards the back
Anterior
towards the front
Contralateral
opposite side
Ipsilateral
same side
Proximal
towards the body
Distal
away from the body
Abduction
vocal folds opening
Adduction
vocal folds closing together
CNS
Brain, brainstem, spinal cord (Upper Motor Neurons)
PNS
everything else besides brain, brain stem and spinal cord (Lower Motor Neurons)
Symptoms in the UPN vs. LMN
UPN: contralateral
LMN: ipsilateral
PNS
Automatic- happens involuntarily
Somatic: what were care about in SLP- voluntary
What are the 3 embryologic parts of the brain?
Forebrain: Prosencephalon- Cerebrum “the brain”
Midbrain: Mesencephalon- white matter pathways
Hindebrain/Brainstem: Rhombencephalon “lizard brain”, automatic brain function (Medella)
Stages of a growing baby
Fertilization-9 weeks: Embryo
9 weeks-birth: Fetus
Birth-2 months: Neonate
2 months-2 years: Infant
What is the CNS?
Brain
Brainstem
Spinal cord
Once it is a nerve it is…
PNS! (even cranial nerves)
Spinothalamic tract
pain, temperature, some touch, pressure
-starts at Lumbar 4 (hips)
Decussation: information crossing sides via the brain
Point of Decussation
UMN: prior to the point of decussation
UMN: CNS- before point of decussation
LMN: CNS/PNS- below point of decussaiton
Thalamus
rely station for all incoming sensory info
Posterior Column
Medial Lemniscus (tactile, proprioceptive) starts at Lumbar 4- Medulla, crosses and goes to Thalamus
Primary, Secondary & Tertiary
Primary: sends original message - SENSORY
Secondary: execute motor plan for skilled movement
Tertiary: INTERPRET, REFINE
Periatal Lobe
incoming sensory
Temporal Lobe
primarily interpretation
Occipital
vision (best seen in Medial)
