Cards

Term
precentral gyrus
Definition
voluntary motor function
Term
postcentral gyrus
Definition
conscious awareness of sensation
Term
association fibers
Definition
integrate diverse information for purposeful action between sensory & motor areas
Term
frontal lobe
Definition
initiates voluntary muscle movement, emotion & cognition, principle motor area controls eye movements, motor portion of speech, personality, emotional IQ
Term
Broca's area
Definition
located in frontal lobe, motor/expressive portion of speech
Term
temporal lobe
Definition
information for communication, facial recognition, primary auditory area
Term
Wernicke's area
Definition
located in temporal lobe, understanding or receptive portion of speech, language, singing, hearing
Term
hippocampus
Definition
memory
Term
parietal lobe
Definition
pain/temp sensations, proprioceptive input
Term
occipital lobe
Definition
visual input & sight responses
Term
basal ganglia
Definition
regulation of posture & muscle tone, control voluntary & automatic movement
Term
hypothalamus
Definition
controls homeostasis, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep/wake, endocrine function
Term
thalamus
Definition
processes sensory information from CNS & PNS
Term
pituitary gland
Definition
master gland, all others depend on its secretion
Term
brain stem
Definition
medulla, pons, midbrain- controls breathing, swallowing, seeing, hearing, facial expressions, eye & tongue movement, salivation
Term
cerebellum
Definition
coordinates action of voluntary muscles & coordinates contractions for smooth & accurate movements
Term
corticospinal tract
Definition
coordination & voluntary motor responses
Term
vestibulospinal tract
Definition
balance reflexes
Term
lateral rubrospinal tract
Definition
tone, posture & coordination
Term
anterior & lateral reticulospinal tracts
Definition
tone & sweat
Term
anterior spinothalamic
Definition
crude touch & pressure
Term
lateral spinothalamic
Definition
pain & temperature
Term
anterior, posterior & lateral spinocerebellar
Definition
subconscious proprioception
Term
posterior fasciculus gracilis & fasciculus cuneatous
Definition
2 point discrimination, conscious proprioception & vibration
Term
damage to upper motor neuron
Definition
spastic paralysis/paresis, little or no muscle atrophy, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, diminished or absent superficial reflexes
Term
damage to lower motor neuron
Definition
inability to not respond reflexively, flaccid paralysis, muscle atrophy, diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes
Term
anterolateral spinothalamic system
Definition
carries non-discriminative sensations of pain, temperature, tickle, itch, sexual
Term
dorsal column (medial lemniscus system)
Definition
carries discriminative senations of touch, pressure, kinesthesia, proprioception & vibration
