NURS 244 Neuro Exam 2
the largest part of the brain, composed of right and left hemispheres - ANS cerebrum
this part of the brain interprets touch, vision, hearing, speech, reasoning, emotion, learning, and fine
control movements - ANS cerebrum
controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills - ANS right hemisphere cerebrum
controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic and writing - ANS left hemisphere cerebrum
located under the cerebrum - ANS cerebellum
coordinates muscle movements and maintains posture and balance - ANS cerebellum
includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla - ANS brainstem
acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord - ANS brainstem
what autonomic functions does the brainstem control - ANS breathing
HR
temp
wake/sleep cycle
digestion
sneezing/coughing
vomiting
swallowing
what cranial nerves generate from the brainstem - ANS 3-12
an increased ICP usually involves what - ANS brainstem
,controls personality, behavior, emotions, judgement, planning, problem solving, body movements,
intelligence, concentration, and self awareness - ANS frontal lobe
where is speech (speaking and writing) generated? - ANS Broca's area (frontal lobe)
interprets language, signal from vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory. sense of touch, pain,
and temp - ANS parietal lobe
interprets vision (color, light, movement) - ANS occipital lobe
responsible for understanding language, memory, hearing, sequencing, and organization - ANS
temporal lobe
what area is responsible for understanding language - ANS Wernicke's area
Where is memory stored? - ANS hippocampus
what is gray matter made up of - ANS cell bodies
what is white matter composed of - ANS nerve fibers
master control of the autonomic system - ANS hypothalamus
has a role in controlling behaviors like hunger, thirst, sleep, sexual response, regulation of temp, BP,
emotions, and secretions of hormones - ANS hypothalamus
known as the master gland and controls the other endocrine glands in the body - ANS pituitary gland
secretes hormones that control sexual development, promote bone and muscle growth, respond to
stress and fight disease - ANS pituitary gland
regulates the body's internal clock and circadian rhythms by secreting melatonin - ANS pineal gland
, coordinate fine motor, such as fingertip movements - ANS basal ganglia
common place for bleeds to occur - ANS basal ganglia
the center for our emotions, learning and memory - ANS limbic system
plays a role in pain sensation, attention, alertness, and memory - ANS thalamus
any issue with the thalamus can cause issues with what - ANS LOC
in approximately 1/3 of left handed people, what function may be located on the right side of the
brain - ANS speech
a stroke on the left side of the brain can cause what - ANS speech difficulties
motor issues on right side
a disturbance of language affecting production, comprehension, reading, or writing - ANS aphasia
with this type of aphasia, a person may have difficulty moving the tongue or facial muscles to
produce the sounds - ANS Broca's aphasia
these individuals can still read and understand language but have difficulty in speaking and writing -
ANS Broca's aphasia
these individuals can male speech but have difficulty understanding speech - ANS Wernicke's aphasia
this type of aphasia can cause a person to speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add
unnecessary words or even create new words - ANS Wernicke's aphasia
where is long-term memory processes - ANS hippocampus
the largest part of the brain, composed of right and left hemispheres - ANS cerebrum
