Unit 4 Flashcards
Tracts (23 cards)
Free nerve endings receptors are associated with
pain and temperature
Free nerve endings receptors- mechanosenitive la or Ad fibers is for
fast conducting and skin movements
hearing sensory areas are
auditory visual cortex and visual assocation area
prefrontal cortex associated areas anterior to motor areas
invlved in congnition and personality/mood
cerebral white matter commissures
connect hemispheres and corpus callosum
cerebral white matter association fibers within
one hemisphere
cerebral white matter projections fibers
cortex, caudal areas, internal capsule and corona radiata
thalamus means
inner room
this egg-shapped structure forms the superolateral walls of ____ and is considered the ___ to the cortex
3rd ventricle, gateway
General somatosensory input from hands and feet goes to the
VPL
Visual input runs through the
LGN
Auditory input runs through the
MGN
hypothalamus lies below thalamus, forming inferiorlateral walls of
3rd ventricle
Hypothalamus visceral control functions such as Autonomic nervous sys, ____ responses, body _____, _____ behavior, _____ cycle,
emotional, temp, huger/thirst, sexual behavior, sleep/wake cycle (suprachiasmatic nucleus), pituitary gland function, memory/mammillary bodies
Cerebellum coordinates
movements, maintains posture and equilibrium
The cerebellum regions are
Outer cortex (gray matter), arbor vitae (white matter) and deep cerebellar nuclei
Input to the cerebellum
Equilibrum info, Proprioceptive info (limbs location in space) and cerebral cortex input
name the 3 lobes of the cerebellum
anterior lobe, posterior lobe and flocculonodular lobe
The prefrontal cortex controls
complex congnitive behavior, decision making, social behavior and personality expression
The prefrontal cortex executive functions are
differentiate conflicting thoughts (good/bad, better/best, etc.), outcome prediction, working towards a goal/task and personality
Working memory and object-recall tasks are are associated with what part of the brain
prefrontal cortex
First type of pain is described as
sharp, intense, well localized, Ad fiber receptors
Second type of pain can be described as
dull, prolonged, diffuse, C fiber receptors
