" I WAS THE CLUMSY ONE" CASE STUDY REVIEW EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Stacy's MRI image results indicate abnormalities of the cerebellum of the brain
and spinal cord. In what division of the nervous system are the brain and spinal
cord?
The Central Nervous System
Type 1 Chiari Malformation
cerebellar tonsils are elongated and pushed through the foramen magnum, obstructing
CSF flow
Syrinx
area around the Central Canal loses the texture to create fluid-filled pockets or cysts
that compromise the spinal cord
Cerebrum function
Initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature
- Concious thought
Diencehpalon function
, Primary relay and processing center for sensory info and autonomic control
- Relay and filter
Midbrain function
movements of body and head
(provides passage for downward pathways for the cerebral cortex)
- Visual and auditory reflexes
Pons functions
unconcious processes and jobs (Sleep-wake cycle, breathing)
- Respiration
Medulla Oblongata functions
controls vital processes such as heartbeat, breathing
- Vital Reflexes (heart beat, blood pressure)
- Non-Vital Reflexes (sneezing, coughing)
Cerebellum functions
coordinates and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain
and body
- coordination
What sectional. plane did clinicians use to obtain this view of the brain and spinal
cord (frontal, transverse or sagittal)?
