Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology 7th Edition
By Bryan Kolb, Ian Whishaw (Test Bank)
Ischemia - ANSWER Deficient blood flow to the brain due to functional constriction
of a blood vessel by a clot
Hemorrhagic - ANSWER Blood vessel bursts
Tissue plasminogen Activator (t-PA) - ANSWER Breaks up clots and allows normal
blood flow
Nuclei - ANSWER Specific functions in mediating behavior
Tracts - ANSWER Long-distance connections between nuclei
Epigentic - ANSWER Genes become expressed because of the environment
Coronal section directions - ANSWER Dorsal(Above/Superior),
Ventral(Below/Inferior), Rostral(Right), Caudal(Left)
Other directions - ANSWER Anterior(In Front), Posterior(Behind), Medial(In
between / Middle), Lateral(The side)
Proximal - ANSWER Near-by
Distal - ANSWER Far from
Efferent - ANSWER From the brain out
Afferent - ANSWER From the body to the brain
Pre-central gyrus - ANSWER The motor strip
Cranial nerves - ANSWER Bring senses from the body to the brain while others
control motor movements
Spinal nerves - ANSWER Carries sensory, motor and autonomic signals via spinal
cord
CNS contains: - ANSWER Brain and Spinal Cord
PNS contains - ANSWER Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous
System
Somatic nervous system - ANSWER Transmits sensation and produces
movement // Cranial and Spinal nerves
