Document Summary
Neurological dysfunction: agnosia, ataxia, ans, babinski, clonus, delirium, dendrite, flaccidity, parasympathetic nervous system, photophobia, position (postural) sense, reflex, rigidity, romberg test, spasticity, sympathetic nervous system, vertigo. Central and peripheral nervous system: cns , pns . Intracranial pressure: monro-kelie doctrine: increase in one component (brain swelling) or addition of new component (hematoma), displaces another component. Lobes of the brain: frontal: thought and rezoning, behavior and memory, temporal: behavior, memory, hearing, vision pathways, emotion, parietal lobe: intellect, thought, reasoning, memory, occipital lobe: vision, cerebellum: balance, co-ordination. Folds in to hold cerebrum of the cerebellum. Bridging veins carry blood from brain across inner layer of the dura. Inner layer of dura bends over to form fold to the superior sagittal sinus which separates hemispheres: arachnoid matter. Csf lies under arachnoid to cushion the brain. Extension poke through the inner layer of the dura into sinuses to let csf drain into sinuses. Locations of the cerebral arteries: pia matter.
