frontal lobe function
involved in motor function: problem-solving, memory, judgment, impulse
control
temporal lobe function
taste, hearing and smell
parietal lobe function
somatic sensory processing, sensations
occipital lobe
A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information
Thalamus function
relay station for sensory impulses, pain
hypothalamus function
water balance/bp/temp regulation/hunger/
thirst/sex.
afferent
sensory
efferent
motor
sympathetic nervous system
fight or flight
parasympathetic nervous system
rest and digest
autonomic nervous system
Salivation,digestion,respiration,perspiration,urniation,cardio,sexual
arousal
afferent and efferent neurons
afferent= sensory
efferent= motor
, fight or flight response
decreased peristalsis, increases heart contraction, peripheral blood
vessel constriction, increased perspiration, bronchiole dilatation for
effective breathing, dilation of the heart and peripheral blood vessels
Opisthotonos
prolonged arching of back, with head and heels bent backward, and -
brainstem herniation
Decorticate posturing
arms flexed inward and bent in toward the body and the legs are
extended
Decerebrate posturing
posturing in which the neck is extended with jaw clenched; arms are
pronated, extended, and close to the sides; legs are extended straight
out; more ominous sign of brain stem damage. Most Severe.
Moro reflex
Infant reflex where a baby will startle in response to a loud sound or
sudden movement.
Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Uncontrolled tightening or pulling of muscles
hypertonicity
poor posture control
altered speech
muscle contractions with possibility for contractures, legs cross
involuntarily jerking movements of arms
cerebral palsy (CP)
