relates to physical structures
does not affect the neurons

-
neurogenic disorders
relates to the neurologic structures
can often have physical problems, but does affect neurons
-
right hemisphere is responsible for:
music, reading, abstract thinking
-
left hemisphere is responsible for:
language
-
motor strip area
brocca's area
-
language disorders are seen with damage to what area of brain?
wernikie's area
-
how do the 2 hemispheres differ in completing a task (overall)
they differ in the type of processing needed to complete the task
-
relationship between education and lateral processing
- less education--less lateral processing
- more education--more lateral processing
-
left hemisphere functions
- verbal
- calculation
- linguistic
- analytic
- sequential/linear
- logical
-
right hemisphere functions
- non-verbal
- music
- spatial
- wholistic/synthetic
- parallel
- intuitive
-
the 2 kinds of CVA (cerebrovascular accident/ stroke)
ischemic, hemorrhagic
-
lack of oxygen in CVAs cause:
tissue damage
-
what percentage of strokes/CVAs are ischemic?
75%
-
the two types of ischemic CVAs
thrombotic and embolic
describe how the blood flow is blocked
-
most common type of CVA
thrombosis
-
tia: transient asthemic attack
warning signs of a stroke. symptoms for up to 24 hours, longer is considered a stroke
-
tia: transient asthemic attack results from:
thrombosis
-
artery that supplies blood the the brain
internal carotid artery
-
artery that supplies blood to the face
external carotid artery
-
common site for thrombosis
the bifurcation of the common carotid artery-at the level of the thyroid cartilage, becoming internal and external carotid arteries
-
circle of willis
provides blood to the cortex and subcortex at the base of the brain
-
what artery feeds most of the lateral surface of the brain?
middle cerebral artery
-
stroke in the middle cerebral artery affects:
language
-
what determines the severity of a stroke
the size and placement of the clot
-
artery that supplies most of the medial surface
anterior corroded artery
-
supplies blood to the posterior and inferior surface
posterior corroded artery
-
what are water shed areas?
- areas around the cortex where blood flows from 2 different arteries.
- somewhat immude to blockages
-
hemorrhage causes what percentage of CVAs/strokes?
25%
-
in an hemorrhage cva, what causes the damage?
the hemorrhage pushing on the brain tissue because of the blood bursting and filling the area of the brain
-
hemorrhage can be associated with what 3 things that help cause?
trauma, aneurysm or hypertension.
-
organic disorders can be _____ or ______
developmental or acquired
-
acquired is considered what time frame?
