| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This nervous system is controlled by the hypothalamus | Autonomic nervous system |
| Tracts that travel from the cerebrum to lower parts of the CNS | Projection tract |
| The primary motor area is located here | Precentral gyrus ( hand across head) |
| The nucleus helps to regulate circadian rhythm's | Suprachiasmatic nucleus |
| This is often called the emotional brain | Limbic system |
| This is mounted directly below the hypothalamus | Pituitary gland |
| Nerve injury that is reversible in hours to months | Neuropraxia |
| Largest fibre bundle in the brain | Corpus callosum |
| This happens with the flexor reflex | Crossed extensor reflex |
| Number of parts of a reflex arc | 5- receptor, neuron, integrating center, motor neuron, effector |
| Csf is formed here | Choroid plexus |
| Decussation of the pyramids happens here | Medulla oblongata |
| Extensions of Pia matter that suspend the spinal cord | Denticulate ligaments |
| Median nerve can be compressed with this muscle | Pronator teres |
| This stops things from entering the blood within the brain | Blood brain barrier |
| Innervates the diaphragm | Phrenic Nerve |
| Corichal brachialis, biceps brachii and brachialis all receive innervation from this nerve | Musculocutaneous |
| This is the gray matter in the centre of the spinal cord | Grey commisure |
| The Dura matter in the brain separates to form this | Dural venous sinuses |
| This anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx | Filum terminale |
| This connects the third and fourth ventricles | Cerebral acqueduct ( aqueduct of the midbrain) |
| This nerve supplies the hip abductors and the skin of the medial thigh | Obturator |
| The Dura matter that separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum | Tentorium cerebelli |
| The tech time is found in this part of the brain | Midbrain |
| Froment sign is positive for this type of nerve lesion | Ulnar nerve lesion |
| bundles of axons found directly off the spinal cord | Rootlets |
| The lateral ventricles are separated by this thin membrane | Septum pellucidum |
| Entrapment of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve; sensory alteration for burning pain on the lateral thigh; tight jeans | Meralgia paresthetica |
| Froments sign is positive; mm wasting of hypothenar; involved nerve travels through Guyon canal | Ulnar nerve lesions |
| Most common entrapment condition in the arm; get numbness/tingling or in digits 123 and half of four; distinguishing picture is nocturnal symptoms that wake the person | Carpal tunnel syndrome |
| Compression occurs at the forearm (under the tendon a brachioradialis); involves the radial nerve; tight hand cuffs | Cheiralgia paresthetica |
| Traction injury of lower brachioplexus; get claw hand; results in medial and ulnar lesions | Klumpkes paralysis |
| Compression occurs at axilla ; involves the radial nerve; sensory and motor branches are affected | Crutch palsy |
| Get paralysis of the adductor muscles; No sensation over the medial thigh; can occur from pressure of fetal head during pregnancy | Injury to obturator nerve |
| Compression occurs at proximal forearm; involves the median nerve | Pronator Teres syndrome |
| Compression of the brachioplexus; subclavian artery and vein can also be compressed; pain, numbness, weakness, tingling in arm or across the upper thoracic area or over scapula | Thoracic outlet syndrome |
| Compression occurs at the spiral groove of the humerus; involves the radial nerve; from direct pressure on arm against a firm object (like when passed out on arm; ) | Saturday night palsy |
| The endoneurium is damaged with this level of injury | Neurotmesis |
| Segmental demyelination occurs with this level of injury | Neuropraxia |
| Location of the sensory humunculus | Primary somatosensory area/post central gyrus |
| This type of tract lies within a single cerebral hemisphere | Association tracts |
| De generation of an axon distal to injury site | WAllerian degeneration |
