SSM SCRN Review Exam
1.Stroke Risk Factors:
Age Gender (men
>women) Genetics
2.Stroke Primary Prevention: Tobacco
cessation Blood pressure reduction
3.Stroke Secondary Prevention: Prevention of another stroke
Targets treatment for change once disease is present i.e. Blood
Pressure control, LDL control, recognition of S/S stroke
4.Frontal Lobe Functions: LOC Regulates personality and
affect Impulsivity and judgement
Abstract thinking
Conjugate eye
movements
5.Frontal Lobe Precentral Gyrus: AKA Motor Strip
6.Parietal Lobe Functions: Sensory:
,Interpretation of: Pain, temperature, light touch, vibration, two-point
discrimination, proprioception
7.Temporal Lobe: Functions: Hearing, Memory, Learning Seizures
8.Wernicke's area: located in Temporal
lobe responsible for understanding
spoken language
9.Occiptal lobe: Functions: Vision
The right half of the occiptal lobe interprets information received from
the right half of both the right and left eyes (and vice versa)
10.Cerebrum: Made up of Basial ganglia and Limbic system
11.Basial ganglia: Coordinates movement
12.Limbic system: Amygdala, Cingulate gyrus, Hippocampus
13.Amygdala and Cingulate gyrus: Memory and emotion
14.Hippocampus: Memory and learning
15.Diencephalong: Thalmus, Hypothalmus, Pituitary and pineal gland
16.Thalamus: Receives input from cerebral cortex and acts as relay
center
17. Hypothalamus:
Hunger Thirst
,Autonomic
functions
Endocrine
functions
18. Pituitary and pineal gland: Hormonal
modulation Sleep-wake cycle
19. Spinothalamic Tract: An ascending pathway of the spinal cord . It is
responsible for the transmission of pain, temperature, and crude touch
to the somatosensory region of the thalamus.
, 20. Corticospinal tract: A descending tract of the spinal cord which
contains bun- dles of axons which originate in the cerebral cortex and
descend to synapse within the brainstem or spinal cord. The neurons
are called "upper motor neurons".
21.Cerebellum: Coordination of motor function:
Rapid alternating
movements Balance and
Position sense
22.Brain Stem: Medulla, Midbrain, Pons
23. Medulla: Foramen magnum to the
pons CN XII, IX, X, XI
Corticospinal tracts- pyramids: decussate and cross midline
24. Midbrain: Coordinates Eye Movement, some reflexes related to
hearing and vision
CN II, III, IV
25. Pons: Between medulla and
midbrain CN VI, VII, VIII, V
message center between cerebellum and cerebrum
26.Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory-smell
