Neuron |
Basic building blocks of brain |
|
|

|
|
Neuron |
Special nerve fiber carries messages can have so many branches they can carry messages to thousands. They are covered by myelin sheath. Three different types: sensory neurons, motor neuron, inter neuron |
|
|
Sensory neuron |
Carry impulse from sense organs to the CNS |
|
|
Motor neuron |
Carry messages from CNS to muscle and glands in our body |
|
|
Interneuron |
Connect various neurons within brain and spinal cord carries info BETWEEN motor and sensory neurons |
|
|
Interneuron |

Meninges |
Three protective layers protecting the brain and spinal cord. Dura mater, arachnoid, and Pia mater |

Front (Term) |
Arteriorvenous Malformation |
|
|
AVM |
Collection of dysplastic plexiform vessels that is supplied by one or more arterial feeders and drained by one or more venous channels
Arteriovenous shunting occurs
There is direct communication between arterial and venous channels
Vast majority of all AVM's are located in the cerebral hemispheres only 15 o/o occur In the posterior fossa |
|
|
Clinical features of AVM |
Both genders equally affected -peak of presentation is between 20-49 - majority become symptomatic by age 50 - 50 o/o of pts present w/sx caused by hemorrhage: SAH 30o/o of cases, parenchyma line 23o/o, and IVH 16o/o, combined bleed occurs in 31o/o - overall risk of bleed is estimated at 2 to 4 o/o per year ( increases by that much each year so as it gets older higher the risk) |
|
|
Cortex |
the outer layer of the cerebrum (the cerebral cortex ), composed of folded gray matter and playing an important role in consciousness. |
|
|
Parietal lobe |
Posterior to the frontal lobe and superior to the temporal lobe, houses the cortex for sensation, optic radiations carrying sensory input from the eyes for visual interpretation, language centers including Broca's and Wernicke's areas. |
|
|
Occipital lobe |
Posterior aspect of the brain on top of the tentorium responsible for vision and interpretation of visual sensory signals also contains the primary visual cortex |
|
|
Basal ganglia |
Group of nuclei that serves as a coordinating center for several nerve tracts including muscle movement |
|
|
Limbic system |
A group of nuclei and cortical structures that encode memory and regulate autonomic nervous system and endocrine function in response to emotional stimuli. Consists of Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Cingulate gurus, Hippocampus. |
