neuroanatomy Crossword

sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
physiological divisions
brain and spinal cord
cranial & spinal nerves outside the CNS (everything else)
receptors that innervate muscles and skin
towards the cell body and grows as we learn things
away; makes contact with other neurons and extends for long distances
afferent-carry sensory information towards CNS
in-between
efferent- carry motor action signal from CNS to muscles
communication site between neurons
Voluntary control of motor activities, personality, problem solving, planning, sequencing, Initiative, judgment, abstract reasoning, creativity, socially appropriate behavior
: processing of incoming sensory information- visual attention, touch perception, integration of the senses
auditory discrimination, speech comprehension, Hearing memory, categorization of objects- mechanism of speech production and thinking that precedes speech
processing and interpreting visual stimuli, visual perception (judging distance, seeing in 3 dimensions), mapping visual world to create visual memory. Information cross-over
Connects right and left side of brain
Primary Sensory Area
primary sensory area
Primary visual cortex
posterior 3rd of superior temporal gyrus. Lesion results in fluent non-grammatical speech, with poor auditory comprehension. Sensory aphasia
Inferior frontal gyrus in the dominant hemisphere. Lesion results in non-fluent speech, difficulty with motor production of words. Motor aphasia
Regulate balance & coordination Accuracy, intensity and timing of movement
motor outflow tracts
sensory fibers from cutaneous and deep structures
a portion of skin, supplied by a specific spinal nerve root
skeletal musculature supplied by motor axons in a specific spinal root
sensation: touch, pain, temperature and 2 point discrimination
sensation: muscle and joint position sense, deep ms pain, vibration sense
sensation: autonomic afferent fibers conveying hunger, nausea, visceral pain
sensation: vision, smell, taste, hearing and equilibrium
