Study Notes

Kahoot Questions

Questions about association fibers, commissural fibers, and projection fibers are included.
Topics include basal ganglia, CSF circulation, the limbic system, diencephalic structures, fiber tracts, and cerebral structures.
Cranial nerves are also part of the questions.

Cervical Plexus

Brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and sacral plexus are mentioned.
Five main nerves (Aunt Rescued My Uncle) are related to the brachial plexus.
Ilioinguinal, ilio-hypogastric, genitofemoral, and obturator nerves concern the lumbar and sacral plexuses.

Review Nerve Supplies

Anatomical structures like the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, frontal lobe, cerebrum, and associated areas like the anterior association area, central sulcus, and lateral sulcus are discussed.
Other structures like epidural space, subdural space, subarachnoid space, schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, conus medullaris, filum terminale, and cauda equina are part of the concepts.
Descending and ascending tracts are also included.
Triceps, extensor digitorum, teres minor, femoral/obturator, and gluteus muscles are listed.

Information on meninges (dura, arachnoid, pia) and anatomical regions (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal lobes) and areas (motor, sensory cortex, visual cortex) are included.

Basal Ganglia, Limbic System

Basal ganglia are collections of cell bodies.
The limbic system has four F's (fight, flight, feeding, and fleeing).
Brodmann's areas are related to cell architecture.
Different brain structures like thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, superior and inferior colliculi are reviewed.
The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are also part of the information.
