Study Notes
Station 1: Divisions of Nervous System
- The nervous system is divided into Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
- The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.
- The PNS connects the CNS to the rest of the body.
- The PNS is further divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
- The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements.
- The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
- Within the autonomic nervous system there is the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
- The sympathetic nervous system arouses the body for activity while the parasympathetic nervous system calms the body to conserve energy.
- The spinal cord connects the brain and the peripheral nervous system.
Station 2: Physiology of Neurons
- Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the body.
- Neurons communicate with each other using electrical and chemical signals.
- Sensory neurons carry messages from the body to the CNS.
- Motor neurons carry messages from the CNS to muscles and glands.
- Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons.
- Spinal cord connects the brain to the peripheral nervous system.
Station 3: Brain Model
- The document asks for the function of neurons in three diagrams (A, B, and C). It does not provide the diagrams themselves.
- This station is about identifying different neuron types(A,B,and C).
- The question asks to determine the type of neurons.
Station 4: Spinal Cord Cross Section
- Understanding different spinal tract pathwya is crucial for comprehending the spinal cord.
- Ascending tracts carry sensory information up to the brain.
- Descending tracts carry motor commands down from the brain.
Station 5: Neurotransmitter Station
- Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons.
Station 6: Drugs and Poison Effects
- The station focuses on understanding how drugs and poisons impact brain activity.
- Identifying types of drugs and their effects is important.
Station 7: Case Report
- Mae Stone, a 75-year-old woman, exhibited increasing forgetfulness.
- Neurological assessment showed difficulty finishing sentences and forgetting common words.
- The case report suggests potential cognitive decline.
- This station asks students to identify a likely diagnosis based on Mae's symptoms.
Station 8: Spinal Nerves and Plexus
- The station covers different plexuses and spinal nerves.
- Specific questions about damage to plexuses and the functions of nerves like the phrenic nerve (and innervation) and cauda equina are included.
Station 9: Cranial Nerves
- The station is about labeling and describing the functions of six cranial nerves (Cranial nerve I through XII). Identifying function and type (sensory, motor, or mixed) of each is essential.
Station 10: Makeup Time
- This station is a time for completing any missed questions.
