Lobes and Regions
These are the 3 regions of the brain.
Brain Stem
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Nerve specialist
Neurologist
Bruising of cerebral tissue.
cerebral contusion
These nerves take responses from the brain to the muscles and glands.
Motor Nerves
Polyneuritis
inflammation of many nerves
This is the motor center of your brain. It takes part in motor memory, coordination, and balance.
Cerebellum
Pertaining to the cerebellum
cerebellic, cerebellar... -al, -eal, -ial, -tic
Painful rash caused by the same virus as Chicken Pox.
Shingles
Nerves that bring information to the brain.
Sensory Nerves
Quadriplegia
paralysis of 4 limbs
These are the 4 lobes of the Cerebrum
Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, and Temporal.
Disease of the nerves
neuropathy
Dementia marked by memory loss, cognitive deterioration, speech and gait disturbances.
Alzheimers
Give the name and the functions of the two major parts of the Nervous System.
CNS- Integrate/process information
PNS- Bring information from senses to brain, take responses from brain to muscles and glands.
Meningitis
Inflammation of the meninges
Name 2 lobes of the Cerebrum and describe their main functions.
Frontal- Executive Functions- decision making, emotions, higher level thinking.
Parietal- Receiving/Processing sensory information.
Occipital- Vision
Temporal- Hearing, Language, Learning and Memory
Lack of or without speech.
aphasia
Inflammation of the peripheral nerves that may lead to paralysis.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Compare the autonomic and somatic nervous systems.
Automatic Nervous System- involuntary functions, heart rate, breathing, digestion
Somatic- Voluntary Responses- Voluntary muscles
intracranial
within the skull
How do the functions of the regions of the brain relate to their location?
The closer to the brain stem, the more basic the function.
suture of the nerves
neurorraphy
Progression disorder marked by tremors, bradykinesia, tight muscles, and gait troubles.
Parkinsons Disease
Compare the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System.
Sympathetic- Fight of flight. Increased heart rate and breathing, decreased digestion.
Parasympathetic- Rest and Digest. Increased calming, and digestion- restoration to homeostasis.
Dystaxia
Difficulty of muscle coordination
