|
|
|
Describe Merkel's disks
|
position sense and fine static touch found in hair follicles; senses shapes, edges, textures; slowly adapting
|
|
|
Describe pacinian corpuscles
|
looks like an onion; found in deep skin, ligaments and joints; senses pressure and vibrations
|
|
|
Difference between muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organ?
|
Muscle spindle: muscle length monitoring
Golgi tendon organ: muscle tension monitoring |
|

|
Fenestrated areas of brain capillaries allow...
|
1) area postrema: vomiting post chemo
2) OVLT: osmotic sensing (ADH release) |
|
|
Hypothalamus functions:
|
TAN HATS: thirst/water balance, adenohypophysis control, neurohypophysis releast, hunger, autonomic function, temperature regulation, sexual urges
|
|
|
Lateral area of hypothalamus controls:
|
Hunger; destroy lateral-->anorexia;
|
|
|
Leptin function
|
1) inhibits lateral area
2) stimulates ventromedial area Essentially tells you you are full. |
|
|
Ventromedial are of hypothalamus controls:
|
Satiety; destroy it and get FAT
|
|
|
Anterior area of hypothalamus controls:
|
Cooling/parasympathetic
|
|
|
Posterior area of hypothalamus controls:
|
heat/ sympathetic
|
|
|
Suprachiasmatic nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus
|
Controls sleep/wake cycle via melatonin, ADH, and oxytocin
|
|
|
VPL of thalamus: Input and destination
|
1)Spinothalamic tract and dorsal columns/medial lemniscus
2) primary somatosensory cortex |
|
|
VPM of thalamus: Input and destination
|
1) Trigeminal and gustatory pathways
2) primary somatosensory cortex |
|
|
LGN of thalamus: Input and destination
|
1) CN2
2) Calcarine sulcus |
|
|
MGN of thalamus: input and destination
|
1) superior olive and inferior colliculi
2) auditory cortex of temporal lobe |
|
|
Role of thalamus parts?
|
Relays all ascending sensory info except olfaction
1) VPL: pain, temp; position sense/touch, pressure, vibration 2) VPM: face sensation and taste 3) LGN: vision 4) MGN: hearing |
|
|
Limbic system includes these structures
|
1) cingulate gyrus
2) hippocampus 3) fornix 4) mamillary bodies 5) septal nuclues |
|
|
Limbic system responsible for
|
5 F's: feeding, fleeing, fighting, feeling and fucking
|
|
|
Cerebellum input and output nerves
|
Input: climbing and mossy fibers
Output: purkinje fibers output to deep nuclei of cerebellum to cortex |
|
|
Lateral nuclei (dentate) of cerebellum responsible for:
|
voluntary movement of extremities
|
|
|
Medial nuclei (emboliform, globose, fastigial) of cerebellum responsible for:
|
balance, truncal coordination, ataxia
|
|
|
When injure your medial cerebellum, what happens?
|
you fall towards the ipsilateral side (because 2 crossovers)
|
fllocculonodular lobe can be damaged by medulloblastoma in children
|
|
Basal ganglia function:
|
voluntary movement and postural adjusments
|
|
|
Direct (excitatory) pathway in basal ganglia:
|
Increase in motion via:
stimulation of striatum--> release of ACh--> disinhibits the thalamus via globus pallidus internus (GPi) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) |
|
|
Indirect (inhibatory) pathway in basal ganglia:
|
Decrease in motion via:
stimulation of striatum--> disinhibits STN (subthalamic nucleus) via globus pallidus externus (GPe)-->STN stimulate GPi to inhibit the thalamus-->less motion |
|
|
Dopamine's effect on basal ganglia:
|
1) Binds to D1, stimulating the excitatory pathway
2) binds to D2, inhibiting the inhibatory pathway Leads to increase in motion! |
