Cards

Term
parasympathetic craniosacral division
Definition
originates in cranial nerves nuclei and in sacral spinal cord S2-S4
Term
superior cervical ganglia
Definition
Lacrimal glands
Nasal glands
All three salivary glands
Pupillary dilation

Additional structures:
Sweat glands
Arrector pili muscles
Term
celiac trunk
Definition
Sympathetic pre-ganglionic from greater splanchnic nerve Postganglionics run along blood vessels to organ Stomach Spleen Liver Pancreas
Term
reticular formation
Definition
brainstem—exerts most direct influence
Centers in Medulla - control respiratory, cardiac, and vasomotor activity
Midbrain - Pupillary light reflexes
Term
dorsolateral. Parietoocciptal
Definition
motion/spatial analysis "where" pathway
Term
CN V trigeminal
Definition
(carries both limbs of the monosynaptic jaw jerk reflex) •sensation from anterior _head_ terminate in 1° sensory nucleus and spinal trigeminal nucleus. •proprioception from masticatory muscles & pressure from teeth end in mesencephalic nucleus of V. •motor fibers from motor nucleus of V pass through motor root then mandibular division to innervate the jaw _muscles_, the tensor tympani
Term
CN VII Facial
Definition
 •preganglionic parasympathetic (GVE) for lacrimal and salivary glands as well as blood vessels. •SVA for taste from anterior two-thirds of tongue (taste ends up at VPM thalamus).
Term
Special Visceral Efferent (SVE): (motor function in eating and breathing)
Definition
•voluntary muscles of the jaw are innervated by trigeminal (V).
•voluntary muscles of the hyoid, incl facial expression, are innervated by facial (VII).
•voluntary muscles of third branchial arch (swallowing & larynx) innervated by glossopharyngeal (IX).
•remaining arches innervated by vagus and spinal accessory (X & XI).
Term
unilateral UMNCN VII lesion
Definition
• result in contralateral weak lower facial muscles due to unilateral crossed pathways. It will not affect the frontalis or orbicularis oculi muscles due to bilat pathways.
Term
CN IX lesion
Definition
results in unilateral loss of gag reflex and carotid reflex; loss of sensation, including taste from posterior _1/3_____ of tongue; difficulty swallowing and deviation of uvula to normal side.
Term
unilateral CN X lesion
Definition
: results in flaccid soft palate, dysphagia, transient tachycardia. Bilat ?rapid death
Term
VPI thalamus
Definition
: input from vestibular nuclei and projects to primary vestibular cortex
Term
VL thalamus
Definition
reciprocal connections to precentral gyrus; major input as the dentatothalamic from contralateral _dentate___________ nucleus; role as gateway to & prime mover of motor pathways
Term
VA thalamus
Definition
: input from __medial globis pallidus___, substantia nigra, brainstem reticular formation.... projects to the premotor cortex to participate in somatic motor system
Term
Substantial innominata (gray matter inf to anterior commissure):
Definition
connect amygdala, hippo and hypothal,with role in neural processing assoc with intellectual function.
Term
Adrenal medulla secretion
Definition
stimulated by preganglionic sympathetic fibers via thoracic splanchnic nerves
Term
bony labirynth
Definition
contains three semicircular ducts, the vestibule, and the cochlea.
filled with perilymphatic fluid.mem
Term
scala vestibuli, the scala media, and the scala tympani.
Definition
3 fluid filled cavities of the cochlea
Term
reissner's memebrane
Definition
separates the scala media from the scala vestibuli.
Term
basilar memebrane
Definition
separates scala media and the scala tympani
Term
• Remember CSLIMA: (C)ochlear nuclear complex  (S)uperior olivary nucleus (L) ateral lemniscus  (I)nferior colliculus (M)edial geniculate body (thalamus)  primary and secondary (A)uditory cortices
Cochlear nuclear complex  superior olivary nucleus lateral lemniscus  inferior colliculus  medial geniculate body (thalamus)  primary and secondary auditory cortices
Definition
central auditory pathways
Term
peripheral vestibular system
Definition
made up of the membranous and bony labyrinths as well as the hair cells which serve as motion sensors
Term
membranous labirynth
Definition
lies within the bony labyrinth.
contains five sensory organs: membranous portions of the three semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule.
is filled with endolymphatic fluid.
Term
ampulla
Definition
• The enlargement at one end of each semicircular canal
Term
cupula
Definition
• A gelatinous capsule covers the crista
Term
stimulation of hair cells in ampula
Definition
related to angular, rotational head motion (angular velocity).
Term
• The ampulla, crista, and cupula of the semicircular canals
Definition
provide sensory input about angular, rotational head velocity.
Term
maculae
Definition
• Hair cell groupings in the utricle and saccule
found on the floor of the utricle and the medial wall of the saccule.
- covered by A layer of gelatinous mass called the otolithic membrane
Term
• The maculae of the saccule and the utricle
Definition
sensitive to gravity and linear acceleration.
Term
striola
Definition
• Each otolithic macula has a curving zone called the
