action potential

is a change in electrical potential that occurs when a cell membrane is stimulated adequately to permit ion exchange between the intra and extracellular spaces

absolute refractory period

is the time during which the cell membrane cannot be stimulated to depolarize

relative refractory period

is a period during which the membrane may be stimulated to excitation again but only with greater than typical stimulation

nodes of ranvier

of the axon myelin promote saltatory conduction

neurotransmitter

is discharged into the synaptic cleft stimulating the postsynaptic neuron.

THICK

activation of a muscle fiber cause the release of calcium in to the environment of what myofilaments

_______ twitch muscle fibers remain contracted longer than _____ twitch fibers

slow, fast

Muscle Spindles

provide feedback to the neuromotor system about muscle length, tension, motion, and position.

Association

higher cognitive processing occurs generally in _________ areas.

tempro-occipital-parietal association

area is involved in language function

Flaccid

dysarthria results from damage to LMN's whereas UMN Lesions result in spastic dysarthria

hyperkinetic

dysarthria is the result of damage to the inhibitory processes of the extrapyramidal systems

prefrontal

area of the cerebrum appears to be involved in higher function related to motor output such as inhibition of motor function and the ability to change motor responses , whereas the Top association area is involved in language function

limbic association

area integrates information related to affect, motivation, and emotion

Left hemisphere

in most individuals is dominant for language and speech, processes, brief duration stimuli, and performs detailed analysis

right hemisphere

appears to process information in a more holistic fashion, preferring spatial and tonal information

wernicke's

damage to this area in the dominant hemisphere usually results in a receptive language deficit with relatively intact speech fluency

Broca's

damage to this area in the dominant hemisphere often results in loss of speech fluency manifested as Broca's aphasia

arcuate

damage to this fasciculus will result in conduction aphasia

VII Facial Nerve

Quite important for speech.it inner area the facial muscles of expression and tear glands.It also mediates the sense of taste for a portion of the tongue. This nerve supplies all of the facial muscles

V trigeminal nerve

This nerve is an extremely important mixed nerve for speech production. This means it has both sensory and motor components. This nerve provides motor inner action to the muscles of mastication it also transmits sensory info from the face.

V trigeminal nerve

This nerve is an extremely important mixed nerve for speech production. This means it has both sensory and motor components. This nerve provides motor inner action to the muscles of mastication it also transmits sensory info from the face.

The v trigeminal divides into 3 parts why are they

Ophthalmic branch, maxillary branch, mandibular branch

Ophthalmic nerve

Is entirely sensory. It transmits general sensory info from the skin to upper face forehead scalp cornea iris upper eyelid

Ophthalmic nerve

Is entirely sensory. It transmits general sensory info from the skin to upper face forehead scalp cornea iris upper eyelid

Maxillary nerve

Is sensory. It transmits info from lower eyelid skin on side of nose upper jaw teeth lip nasal cavities sinuses

Ophthalmic nerve

Is entirely sensory. It transmits general sensory info from the skin to upper face forehead scalp cornea iris upper eyelid

Maxillary nerve

Is sensory. It transmits info from lower eyelid skin on side of nose upper jaw teeth lip nasal cavities sinuses

Mandibular nerve

Is mixed it has afterwork and efferent parts
