Stroke Risk Factors - Correct Answer-Age
Gender (men >women)
Genetics
Stroke Primary Prevention - Correct Answer-Tobacco cessation
Blood pressure reduction
Stroke Secondary Prevention - Correct Answer-Prevention of another stroke
Targets treatment for change once disease is present i.e. Blood Pressure control, LDL
control, recognition of S/S stroke
Frontal Lobe Functions - Correct Answer-Regulates personality and affect
Impulsivity and judgement
Abstract thinking
Conjugate eye movements
Frontal Lobe Precentral Gyrus - Correct Answer-AKA Motor Strip
Broca's area: Articulation, speed and rhythm of speech
Parietal Lobe Functions - Correct Answer-Somatosensory cortex:
Interpretation of: Pain, temperature, light touch, vibration, two-point discrimination,
proprioception
Temporal Lobe - Correct Answer-Functions: Hearing, Memory, Learning
Wernicke's area - Correct Answer-located in Temporal lobe
responsible for understanding spoken language
Occiptal lobe - Correct Answer-Functions: Vision
The right half of the occiptal lobe interprets information received from the right half of
both the right and left eyes (and vice versa)
Cerebrum - Correct Answer-Made up of Basial ganglia and Limbic system
Basial ganglia - Correct Answer-Coordinates movement
Limbic system - Correct Answer-Amygdala, Cingulate gyrus, Hippocampus
Amygdala and Cingulate gyrus - Correct Answer-Memory and emotion
, Hippocampus - Correct Answer-Memory and learning
Diencephalong - Correct Answer-Thalmus, Hypothalmus, Pituitary and pineal gland
Thalamus - Correct Answer-Receives input from cerebral cortex and acts as relay
center
Hypothalamus - Correct Answer-Hunger
Thirst
Autonomic functions
Endocrine functions
Pituitary and pineal gland - Correct Answer-Hormonal modulation
Sleep-wake cycle
Spinothalamic Tract - Correct Answer-An ascending pathway of the spinal cord . It is
responsible for the transmission of pain, temperature, and crude touch to the
somatosensory region of the thalamus.
Corticospinal tract - Correct Answer-A descending tract of the spinal cord which
contains bundles of axons which originate in the cerebral cortex and descend to
synapse within the brainstem or spinal cord. The neurons are called "upper motor
neurons".
Cerebellum - Correct Answer-Coordination of motor function:
Rapid alternating movements
Balance and Position sense
Brain Stem - Correct Answer-Medulla, Midbrain, Pons
Medulla - Correct Answer-Foramen magnum to the pons
CN XII, IX, X, XI
Corticospinal tracts- pyramids: decussate and cross midline
Midbrain - Correct Answer-Coordinates Eye Movement, some reflexes related to
hearing and vision
CN II, III, IV
Pons - Correct Answer-Between medulla and midbrain
CN VI, VII, VIII, V
message center between cerebellum and cerebrum
Cranial Nerve I - Correct Answer-Olfactory-smell
Cranial Nerve II - Correct Answer-Optic- transmits visual information, visual fields,
deficit=hemianopsia
