NEUROLOGIC DISORDERS

NERVOUS SYSTEM DIVIDED INTO 2 REGIONS:

CENTRAL- BRAIN AND SPINAL CORDS

PERIPHERAL- CRANIAL NERVES, SPINAL NERVES, AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SUSTEM (sympa and
parasympa)

FUNCTIONS: SENSORY INPUT, INTEGRATION, MOTOR OUTPOUT, HOMEOSTASIS, MENTAL

ACTIVITIES

CNS: BRAIN
CEREBRUM- A.K.A. BIG BRAIN (LOBES)
CEREBELLUM- LITTLE BRAIN
DIENCEPHALON- THALAMUS (MAJORITY: MOVEMENTS), HYPOTHALAMUS (CONTROL CENTER
THAT REGULATES CHEMICALS IN OUR BODY)
BRAIN STEM- MIDBRAIN, PONS, MEDULLA OBLONGATA (RESPONSIBLE FOR BREATHING)
CORPUS CALLOSUM- LIGAMENTS PRODUCES CSF

PITUITARY GLAND: HYPOPHYSIS

HYPOPHYSECTOMY: REMOVAL OF PITUITARY GLAND
THALAMUS- FOR MOOD AND PERCEPTION OF PAIN
EPITHALAMUS- ODORS
HYPOTHALAMUS- REGULATORS OF BODY TEMPERATURE, SECRETION OF HORMONES

MEDULLA OBLONGATA- MOST INFERIOR PORTION, EXTENDS FORAMEN MAGNUM (OPENING

OF THE SPINAL COLUMN) TO PONS, CN 9, 10, 11, 12
FUNCTIONS: REGULATION OF HR AND BV DIAMETER, BREATHING, SWALLOWING, VOMITING,
COUGHING, SNEEZING, BALANCE AND COORDINATION

PONS- BRIDGE (CONNECTS THE MID AND MEDULLA)

CNS 5,6,7,8> ACOUSTIC VESTIBULO(BALANCE)COCHLEAR(HEARING)
MIXED-
LOWER PART: BREATHING, SWALLOWING AND BALANCE
OTHER NUCLEI IN THE PONS: CONTROL FUNCTIONS- CHEWING AND SALIVATION

MIDBRAIN
SUPERIOR TO THE PONS

CEREBRUM (LARGEST PART OF THE BRAIN)

L & R HEMISPHERE BY A LONGITUDINAL FISSURES
S
OCCIPITAL LOBE: VISION visual input
PARIETAL LOBE:
TEMPORAL LOBE: SMELL, HEARING, PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MEMORY
FRONTAL LOBE: MOOD, EMOTIONS AND SPEECH

SPINAL CORD
EXTENDS FROM FORAMEN MAGNUM TO THE 2ND UMBAR VERTEBRA BELOW WHICH IS THE
CAUDA EQUINA
LUMBAR TAP: L3 & L4 (EXTRACTS CSF OR ANES)
