Exceptions to the organization of the CNS

Cerebrum (has gray cortex), and cerebellum (outer gray layer)

Space between lateral ventricles

Septum Pellucidum

Intraventricular Foramen

Aka Foramen of Monroe where CFS enters from lateral ventricles

Islands of gray matter in cerebrum

Basal Nuclei (ganglia)

3 cerebral white matter fibers

Commisural, Association, Projection

3 parts of the Basal Ganglia

Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, Globus Pallidus

Decussation of the pyramids occurs

In the medulla

Substantia Nigra

Produces Dopamine

The purpose of the Thalamus

Post office. Stop gap for cortex

Hypothalamus controls

ANS, food, water, sleep, temp, emotion

Pons

Pneumotaxic aka breathing

Purpose of Limbic System

Emotional brain

Parts of Limbic System

Diencephalon, cerebrum and fibers

RAS

Keeps brain awake, filters stimuli

Choroid Plexus

Produces CSF

Arachnoid Villus

Reabsorbs CSF back into the blood supply

Conus Medullaris

End of the spinal cord

Filum Terminale

Anchors spinal cord to coccyx

Funiculi

Elevates going either only up or down in the spinal cord

Specific Medial Lemniscal System

Aka Dorsal White Columns for discriminative touch

Non Specific - Spinothalmic Process

Crosses over in spinal cord. Pain, temp, course touch

Spinocerebellar

Muscle tension stretch for proprioception

Pyramidal Tracts

Cross in medulla. Direct pathways for fast and fine motor skills

Extrapyramidal Tracts or Indirect Pathways

Cross in spinal cord. For balance, coarse limb movement and head, neck, eye movement

Order of Cranial Nerves

OOOTTAFVGVAH

I. Olfactory

Sensory. Nose to Olfactory bulbs in cortex. Disorder = Anosmia

II. Optic

Sensory. Optic nerve to Optic chiasma to thalamus to cortex. Disorder = Anopsia (blindness)

III. Oculomotor

Motor. Origin = midbrain. Controls dilation and moves eye. Test = pupils. Disorder = lateral strabismus

IV. Trochlear

Motor. Midbrain. Test = pupils. Disorder = double vision

V. Trigeminal

Both. Ophthalmic (superior orbital fissure to pons)


Maxillary (foramen ovale to pons) Mandibular (foramen ovale to pons) Test = pain in face. Disorder = Tic Douloreux

VI. Abducens

Motor. Pons to SO Fissure. Test = pupils. Disorder = Internal strabismus

VII. Facial

Both. Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular, Cervical. Origin = Pons to acoustic meatus to face. Test = taste buds. Disorder = Bells Palsy

VIII. Vestibulocochlear

Sensory. 2 nerves combined: vestibular and cochlear. Origin = the two nerves to acoustic meatus to pons. Test = Hearing. Disorder = deafness or imbalance

IX. Glossopharyngeal

Both. Origin = Medulla to jugular foramen to throat. Test = gag, speak, cough. Disorder = swallowing

X. Vagus

Both. Largest nerve. Origin = Medulla to jugular foramen to thorax/abdomen. Function = motor, swallowing, heart, breath, abdomen sensory. Test = gag, speak, cough. Disorder = hoarseness, swallowing, death

XI. Accessory

Motor. Origin = Cranial + spinal roots. Function = shrugging. Test = shrugging. Disorders = shrugging and turning head.

XII. Hypoglossal

Motor. Origin = Medulla to hypoglossal canal to tongue. Test = stick out tongue. Disorder = swallowing and speaking

5 Stimulus Receptor Types

Mechano, Thermo, Photo, Chemo, Noci

Receptor Location Types

Exteroceptors, Interceptors and Proprioceptors

Complexity of receptor types

Simple (most abundant) : free nerve endings. Pain, temp, Merkel disc, hair follicle


Complex: Encapsulated. Most mechanoreceptors, exteroceptors, Meissner's Corpuscles, Pacinian Corpuscles, Ruffini Corpuscles, muscle spindles, golgi tendons

Transduction

Conversion of receptor and generator potential to action potential

Tonic Receptors

Adapt extremely slow


Ex. Pain and Proprioceptors

Phasic Receptors

Adapt and respond quickly

Wallerian Degeneration

Chops off damages axon and repairs it. Regeneration is very slow

Nerve Plexus

Nerves have multiple origins to avoid carrying all eggs in one basket

Cervical Plexus

C1-C4. Phrenic Nerve = C3 - C5

Brachial Plexus

Axillary - abduction


Musculocutaneous - biceps


Median - wrist and fingers


Ulnar - forms first


Radial - undoes all flexion

Order of Brachial Plexus

Roots, Rami, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, Branches

Lumbar Plexus

L1 - L4. Hip flexion, knee extension, obturator

Sacral Plexus

L4 - S4.


Sciatic - hamstrings


Tibial - calves


Gluteal - butt


Pudendal - penis

5 components of reflex arc

Receptor


Sensory Neuron


Integration


Motor Neurons


Effector

Muscle Spindles

Help control muscle length for opt optimal muscle tension

Reciprocal Inhibition

Inhibits antagonist muscles during muscle reflex

Golgi Tendon Reflex

Relaxes over stretches tendons. Reciprocal activation. Engages antagonistic muscles

Flexor Reflex

Withdrawal from painful stimuli

Crossed Extensor Reflex

Counter reaction on opposite side of body

Babinski's Sign

Curl toes when sole is stroked. Means you're brain dead
