2. What is the sagittal plane of the brain?: Divides into right and left halves
3. What is the transverse plane of the brain?: Divides into top and bottom
halves (superior/inferior or dorsal/ventral)
4. What is the autonomic nervous system?: bidirectional controlling end
organs (heart, glands, and smooth muscle)
5. What is Somato Sensation?: ascending tract
6. What is the motor system?: descending tract
7. What is a focal lesion?: single location
8. What is a multifocal lesion?: multiple locations
9. What is a diffuse lesion?: bilateral and symmetrical
,10. What are the two parts of a neuro exam?: -history
-test and measures
11. What does the history of a neuro exam contain?: -Interview
-Onset

12 How long does a neuro exam take?: 10-15 mins
13. What are the neurological areas assessed?: Mental Status
Cranial Nerve Exam
Autonomic Function
Motor Exam
Somatosensory Exam
Spinal Reflexes
Coordination
Postural Control
Gait
14. what is associated with the left hemisphere?: • Language Dominance
• L Broca's area (inferior frontal gyrus): language production
• L Primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus): controls right side
• L Primary sensory cortex (postcentral gyrus): senses stimuli on right side
15. what is associated with the right hemisphere?: Spatial Organization
Dominance
• R Broca's area (inferior frontal gyrus): produces nonverbal aspects of
language
• R Primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus): controls left side
• R Primary sensory cortex (postcentral gyrus): senses stimuli on left side
16. What is the overall function of the frontal lobe?: • Movement, executive
function (cognitive function, personality, memory and behavior), language
and speech
, 17. What are the structures in the frontal lobe?: primary motor cortex,
Broca's area., prefrontal cortex, premotor cortex
18. What is the orientation of the primary motor cortex?: medially located in
frontal lobe 19. What is the function of the primary motor cortex?: allows
conscious control of precise,
skilled, voluntary movements
20. What is the function of the prefrontal cortex?: higher level thinking,
control over actions/emotions
21. What is the function of the premotor cortex?: -motor planning
-executes movements of the limbs, through coordination with other parts of
the brain in choosing the appropriate motions
22. What does the anterior cerebral artery supply?: supplies the anterior
frontal and middle frontal and parietal lobe (*remember the homunculus*)
23 What is Broca's area?: -inferior frontal gyrus
-specialized in communication
24. What is the left side of broca's area responsible for?: planning movement
of the mouth and grammatical aspects of language/speech
25. What is the right side of broca's area responsible for?: nonverbal
communication including gestures and adjusting tone of voice
26. What does the ACA supply?: -primary motor cortex
-primary sensory cortex
-premotor cortex
27. What does the middle cerebral artery supply?: supplies the Lateral
aspect of frontal, temporal, and parietal lobe and basal ganglia
(*remember the homunculus*)
28. What is the overall function of the parietal lobe?: Sensory processing
(somatosensory) 29. What structures are in the parietal lobe?: Primary
sensory cortex, secondary sensory cortex, association cortex
30. What is the primary sensory cortex?: sites where sensory input is first
received and one becomes conscious of the stimulus
