Ls3 - Neurologic Functio.

Front 1

3 areas of the brain

Back 1

Cerebrum, brain stem, cerebellum

Front 2

The frontal lobe is responsible for:

Back 2

Concentration, abstract thought, information storage, memory, and motor function. Contains Brocade area = motor control of speech. Largely a persons affect, personality, judgements, and inhibitions.

Front 3

Parietal lobe is responsible for:

Back 3

Sensory. Analyzes sensory information and relays to thalamus and cortical areas. Awareness of persons space, and spatial relations.

Front 4

Temporal lobe is responsible for:

Back 4

Auditory reception area. Interpretive area that provides integration of somatization, visual, and auditory areas. Dominant role of thinking

Front 5

Occipital lobe is responsible for:

Back 5

Visual interpretation.

Front 6

Thalamus does?

Back 6

Relay station for info except smell

Front 7

Nasal ganglia do?

Back 7

Control of fine motor movements of the hands and lower extremities

Front 8

Hypothalamus does?

Back 8

Regulates pituitary secretion of hormones that influence metabolism, reproduction, stress response, and urine production. Appetite control. Sleep - wake cycle, bp, aggressive and sexual behavior, and emotional responses. Autonomic nervous system.

Front 9

Cranial nerve 1

Back 9

Olfactory/sensory/smell: with eyes peed, the pt is asked to id familiar odors. Each nostril tested separately.

Front 10

Cranial nerve 2

Back 10

Optic/sensory/visual acuity: snellen chart; visual fields; opthalmoscopic examination

Front 11

Cranial nerve 3

Back 11

Oculomotor/motor/muscles move eye and lid: ocular rotations, conjugate movements, nystagmus
