00:08 All right, we're recording now. , what you're looking at is the

00:12 from the first exam. I know many of you guys are like,

00:15 , the exam sucked. Oh, grade sucks. I suck because that's

00:20 where students immediately go when they've No, no, no. Stop

00:24 that. All right. Uh, here taking an exam on mine

00:29 Anyone ever taken an exam of mine . So you kind of went blind

00:32 person. So most of you went blind not knowing how I give an

00:36 . So, so first off that should be your first approach with

00:40 do. It's like, ok, something new, I'm going to be

00:43 something new. So it's going to different. It might be a little

00:46 harder. It might be easier. don't know until you try it.

00:49 . So, we don't panic about like that. You can see over

00:53 the average, the average was 60.5 the exam. I shoot for

00:56 I think I told you that on first date. So we're a little

00:59 shy of that. But these grades very typical of what I've been seeing

01:03 COVID. So you're consistent with the five or six classes I've taught so

01:09 different there. You just don't like like that. So, what we

01:12 do is we can just add 40 to everything and make you guys feel

01:16 . It doesn't change anything but it you feel better because the number is

01:19 . Right? All right. So need to, first off when you're

01:23 at something like this is recognize what tells you. This is reading graph

01:29 , right. And so what you do is you can look at this

01:31 say, ok, where do I ? All right. Am I on

01:34 side or am I on that And that's one of the first things

01:36 , if you're on this side. , we've got some improvement to do

01:40 that's, that's ok. Right. I said, how many, how

01:42 tests do we have in the class ? So how many do we have

01:46 ? Three? So, is is there, is there chances for

01:49 to bring up bad grades in the ? Yes. Ok. Second question

01:53 , is, is there gonna be curve? What do you think?

01:57 . All right. So just in at this, you can see there's

02:00 sorts of statistics over here on the , right? So what you can

02:03 here is where is the median grade ? Around 62? If you look

02:06 this long enough, you'll start seeing trends. This is the stuff that

02:09 , I just want to point out you. It's really weird. I've

02:12 this ever since I've taught 17 every class is you'll always see if

02:16 take a De Ale, which is , I'm just gonna use a number

02:19 80 to 89. The bottom, bottom half of the Isle is always

02:23 than the top half of the de . You see that up there?

02:27 don't know why. It's something about way humans test that the upper part

02:33 harder to get than the lower I don't know. But anyway,

02:36 see that up there, if you there, you can see there's

02:38 there's kind of a tail. So is a, there is a bimodal

02:43 in there. But really, if look at this whole thing, it

02:46 standard deviation, you guys know what deviations tell you. They basically the

02:51 , right? So a good spread a class like this should be around

02:55 13. And you can see here closer to a 17. So it

02:58 means it's been spread out. So we're gonna have to do is we're

03:01 have to figure out on that low what's going wrong. So if you

03:06 one of those scores, I'm I'm trying to, you know, you

03:09 , say shame. That's not the here. The idea here is,

03:12 something that didn't go correctly. So we should probably talk about what you

03:15 on the exam and let's not panic it. Let's just come see

03:19 We'll try to fix what, what wrong if you find yourself in the

03:23 and you're unhappy with your grade. . Good. Unless you have a

03:26 score, you should be unhappy. . You're all capable, perfect scores

03:30 if you don't get them, that's too. But let's get closer to

03:33 perfect score than away from it. so again, you can come and

03:36 me and we can talk about your what you did, right? What

03:39 did wrong and try to make some . All right. Uh, the

03:43 thing I'd point out here is you see what the high scores for the

03:47 , right? We had 2 90 in the class. Does that mean

03:50 my exams are impossible to do? . All right. What's gonna happen

03:55 a couple of days? We still , uh, two people who

04:00 uh, need to take the One person I think has dropped the

04:03 , the other one I know has , has an approved excuse. So

04:07 be taking the exam, uh, next week. But after I release

04:11 , release the exams, I want to go back and I want you

04:13 look at them. All right. I want you to look at them

04:16 in the eye of like, who was me ask the question?

04:20 did I get this question wrong? right. And what you wanna be

04:24 is you wanna be asking the Really? To kind of figure out

04:28 I screwing up the test or am screwing up my studying? Right?

04:31 those are two different questions. If went through the exam in 18 minutes

04:35 got a grade that you're not happy , it might be because you're not

04:39 the questions, right? And so missing something in the exam, let's

04:46 you're taking all your time and you're questions, right? And you go

04:49 and you're like, well, I I don't recognize anything here.

04:52 , maybe you didn't study correctly, ? So there's two different types of

04:57 that you can mess up on a and all of y'all are planning on

05:01 career in the health professions. I , except for one of you,

05:04 I remember, right? And the is this is the type of test

05:08 going to see for the rest of lives. This is what board exams

05:10 like. This is what every class is, is multiple guests and it's

05:15 particularly fun, right? Unless you how to do it. And so

05:19 of me doing this is to help prepare yourself for that long run of

05:24 is gonna be the rest of your . Now, the other thing

05:28 is that this isn't your only right? So what we do is

05:32 look at this, we get you can curse my name.

05:34 it's ok. I'm, I'm not be offended. But what I want

05:37 to do is I want you to at that and figure out what you

05:39 , what, what worked and what and then if you want to,

05:42 can come talk to me and we , we can kind of make these

05:46 . But what I want to show also is this all right. So

05:51 is the rolling average for the So if I had to give you

05:54 grade a day and you had to the class, what would your grade

05:57 like? And it's kind of an score. You know, you see

06:01 really flat up there, isn't You don't really see that all that

06:05 . All right. So we said the first day of class that a

06:09 is passing for the class. Um remember, this has no extra credit

06:13 because I don't do that until the of the semester. You could see

06:16 two tests down there that don't right? So that's why you see

06:20 really, really low. So they're included in the actual average. I

06:23 them out just because it would drag down a little bit further. But

06:26 can see where does an A That's, that would be an A

06:29 So 89.2 what did I say on first day of class curve doesn't really

06:33 the A and you can see Is it helping the A? All

06:36 much? No. All right. look at where the BS start,

06:42 ? So in your brain, if believe, if you got less than

06:44 80 average that you have no Do you have a chance? I

06:51 see more than two people in the row, nodding their heads,

06:55 Are you happy if you have a you can go ahead and do this

06:58 you want to, right? But is it as bad as you

07:02 it is? No, I'm gonna to the guys here for a second

07:07 your girlfriend says, hey, we talk. I mean, what,

07:11 the first thing your mind goes It's the worst thing ever,

07:15 It's over, right? But what she's like we got to talk,

07:18 know, um I've, I've got work harder this weekend. So I

07:21 see then. That's not a bad , right? So this is kind

07:24 the same thing. This is it's not as bad as you think

07:27 is. All right. Look at the sea range begins. All

07:33 So range begins around 56. Now , that's because of the performance

07:38 and how the curve works. it favors you on that back end

07:41 then you can see the D's are 50. So there's a really small

07:44 for the D's and if you find below that 50. Are you

07:49 I want, I want more heads . Are you doomed? No,

07:54 is an opportunity here for improvement. . There's no one here.

08:00 I'm gonna give you history here every . I've taught this core course.

08:04 might have one F in the class usually that one F is this student

08:08 here. Ok. Usually people drop of the class long before they have

08:14 opportunity to prove themselves as not being of doing the work. If you

08:18 the work, if you, if study for the exams, if you

08:21 the work almost invariably you're gonna be and above. All right. And

08:26 know what c means passing. it means degrees. Right. I

08:32 , we can make that joke and like, but, but that's not

08:35 get me into blah, blah, . Right. Maybe. Right.

08:39 you've been trained to believe your entire that there are only two grades in

08:42 world A's and FS. Right. I don't have an A, I

08:45 as well have, have an is that what your mom taught

08:48 Yeah. You know, and that's true. The goal here is to

08:53 the information, the better you learn information, the higher your grade it's

08:56 be all right. And I promise , this is, this is

08:59 You're gonna look at the exam, is what's, what's gonna happen.

09:02 gonna look at that question and you're go really? I missed that and

09:06 gonna do this over and over and and over again. And usually what

09:10 means is that the way that you for the exam is not enough to

09:16 you the grade that you want, you're gonna have to get rid of

09:19 really bad habits, bad habits that three years ago. Right. Like

09:24 said, these grades I'm seeing are with since COVID and there's some really

09:30 habits. I don't like reading. don't like reading either. You

09:35 it takes every ounce of my time effort to read, read the

09:40 Right. It's gonna prepare you, going to do the things that you

09:43 necessarily want to do. It's gonna you to do them. I don't

09:47 working out. I really don't, the laziest man you will ever

09:51 All right. And I'm not just , working out, but in terms

09:54 working out, I work out with guy. And the only reason I

09:57 this is because if he didn't show I wouldn't show up. So I

10:02 to have that partner there. And he says, oh, I'm gonna

10:05 busy. I'm like, yes, could sleep in because I hate working

10:11 . You think I like studying? , I like learning. But I

10:14 studying, same as you got. , what we're doing here is all

10:18 things that I, that I've taught , all the things that I showed

10:21 read the book, come to God. Oh, man. I

10:24 driving up 2 88. Anyone I have to drive up 2

10:27 Right now. You see what they're do. They're closing the highway except

10:32 one lane basically between Almeta and, I don't know what I'm gonna

10:37 I can't teach from home, but might as well because that's what it's

10:41 be like. But I've got to here. Why? Because this is

10:44 I do for a living. But do you have to be here?

10:46 the best thing you can do to is to come in and engage even

10:51 you have your ear buds in and not paying attention and reading whatever is

10:56 the laptop. I know this is . I've sat in the back of

11:01 . So before I get to see you guys do, right? So

11:04 do that and then what do you right after class? Use that free

11:09 to organize yourself and engage the material more time. If you do

11:13 you create a pattern of behavior that gonna make you better at understanding the

11:19 . It's going to reveal to you your weaknesses are, where your shortcomings

11:23 and it's gonna allow you to oh, I don't like that.

11:27 I've got something I can fix now then you can fix it if you

11:34 yourself up here and you're in a where you're not where you don't want

11:36 be. If you're here and you want to be here, do those

11:40 . I've taught you, it'll move in this direction. If you're

11:43 it'll move you in this direction. you're here, it'll move you in

11:46 direction. I've seen people move all way from here at the beginning of

11:50 semester. All the way up All right, all you gotta do

11:55 just say I don't like this. instead of saying what was me,

12:01 ? Which is an easy thing to is to say I can do

12:07 you can point at other people and better than all y'all just don't let

12:10 hear that. If you all say it's, it's just fine. All

12:15 , because I want you guys to your goals. I really do.

12:19 being sad about a grade doesn't help . It's looking at the grade saying

12:25 do I change? And just so know that I don't say this,

12:29 y'all get up here and give my speech. My daughter not very good

12:34 math, she hates doing homework. when she has to do math,

12:37 starts crying, she's not bad at . She just doesn't like doing

12:41 She'll start crying and what was the thing I say is we don't cry

12:44 math. It's math, it's just and sometimes a little letter might be

12:50 factor in there too, you But you don't cry about it.

12:53 say? All right, I'm not this. So let me take that

12:55 back and let me try to figure what's going on. Right. Because

12:59 me ask you this question. I I've asked this here. It might

13:01 been my freshman if you blow things and just say, I hope things

13:06 out. They probably won't. But pretend that they actually do work

13:10 Do you want to be that physician that dentist that doesn't know the subject

13:15 or even worse? Do you want mom to see that physician or dentist

13:19 doesn't know the subject matter? So, focus first on that.

13:26 what it does to your grades. the better thing. All right.

13:30 if you come in, if you yourself over here and you're embarrassed about

13:34 grade, don't be, I've seen . I am here for you.

13:38 is my job. Right. They're paying me to come here and rant

13:42 talk. They're paying me to teach . So if you're struggling with the

13:47 , come see me, I'm, talk your ear off and I'll bore

13:51 to tears, but I will get working so that you can see how

13:54 do it. And this is what know. If you do what I

13:57 you to do, you're gonna pass class minimally. But if you think

14:01 have a better way because, you , you're so much smarter than

14:06 Well, well, we can check the end of the semester now with

14:11 saying, this is why I always up. The, don't panic.

14:13 , don't panic. Please don't Right. Best teachers failure. Not

14:19 I've tried to fail you guys. , you'll, I'll, I'll tell

14:22 this right now. When I write exam, I'm not out to get

14:25 . I don't write trick questions How many of you felt like it

14:29 trick questions. Go ahead. You raise your hand. Don't be

14:32 Yeah. Ok. They're not, back and look at the question you

14:35 was a trick question I tell You're gonna be like, really?

14:38 do know this. All right. just, you didn't know it well

14:43 . That's what we're shooting for. there questions about the exam? Questions

14:47 the grades? Questions about the extra questions about anything that I just

14:52 Ok, I have an answer. , so it typically opens a week

15:00 because I always, I always have person for some reason who's missed the

15:04 . I don't think in the last years I've had a person not miss

15:07 exam, which is very frustrating because all want to see your test,

15:11 you? I'm not gonna open that unless everyone's taking the exam. All

15:16 . So I have now officially instead just making it available right after it

15:20 like, ok, I know I'm have one person so it should open

15:24 Tuesday and if it doesn't, I announce when it's available and then here's

15:28 good news with that. I want . I mean, even as easy

15:31 it is to be able to just in and answer the question, like

15:35 the pre exam extra credit like easy , right? Remember, I don't

15:39 at your answers, don't fake an . This is for you,

15:43 It's basically forcing you to say, you prepared to take the exam?

15:46 why I don't open up early. the night before. Are you prepared

15:48 take the exam and you came up answers? Now, ask yourself those

15:52 questions. Was I really prepared? I study this? This is,

15:58 really hard. It's asking, how I study? Was it? Did

16:01 benefit me the way that I And if the answer to any of

16:04 questions are no, maybe you should of think about, maybe I should

16:08 something here, but it's the same of thing. You'll have a week

16:11 answer that question, right? So opens on Tuesday and it's probably,

16:15 think it's open for a full week that. And this is the pattern

16:19 you'll see every time after each If, for some magic reason,

16:22 is able to take the exam and it done on the day that it's

16:26 , which everyone should, then I'll it up early so that you guys

16:29 look at the exams and so on so forth. So, ok.

16:34 other questions? Yes, ma'am. , so my, my preference

16:41 is I want you to look at exam if you want to come talk

16:43 me about your grade or your test anything like that. Oh, and

16:46 the way, if you find errors the test, don't just internalize

16:50 I recognize that sometimes I make I'll tell my wife and my

16:54 It's very rare but it's, it's that rare. But if you find

16:58 mistake on the exam or if you to talk about your exam,

17:01 let me know, you know, I would prefer that you look at

17:04 exam first, see what you did that we can have, we can

17:08 it from the same perspective, Because you feel like, hey,

17:11 looked at my exam, I seem be missing questions like this. Then

17:14 can actually address that as opposed Well, tell me, have you

17:18 at your exam? Well, Well, I, because I don't

17:19 to go over the, there's 100 you, I don't wanna go over

17:22 exam one question at a time. like I said, most of the

17:26 you'll see are things that you can pretty quickly. There might be a

17:30 where it's like I didn't know this and I think it's this one or

17:32 one, I'm happy to talk about . Like that one or two questions

17:35 your exam. This is true for . You know, if I have

17:38 meet with each of you, that's . But it's gonna, it's not

17:41 if, if we can't fit everybody the office hour, I'll meet with

17:43 outside of office hours. We just to find the time to do

17:47 Ok. In other words, I'm is what I'm trying to tell

17:51 Right. I'm not gonna bite Right? Maybe you're not sure.

17:59 we wanna do physiology or do you any, any questions? Are you

18:02 or are you just mad? I know, nervous or mad you.

18:16 said none of you guys want none you guys want here nervous or

18:23 Sad. Ok. Sad. that's fair. All right. Good

18:27 . It's just an emotion that goes can be replaced by other, other

18:30 emotions. All right. That's the news. All right with that in

18:37 . And the things that we've got discuss today, what we're gonna be

18:41 in this entire unit. So it you the big picture of the unit

18:44 we're gonna be looking at the nervous and we're gonna be looking at

18:49 The common theme between these two is is that they use electrical mechanisms to

18:54 their job, right? So, first four lectures are all about the

18:58 system, right? Which seems like , an excessive amount of information for

19:04 like that. Have you guys taken Z class, neuro neurobiology,

19:10 You have so two people, So you're gonna see a lot of

19:14 going? Oh, yeah, I've this, I've seen this, I've

19:15 this. All right. I and it does, it deserves its

19:18 course. And in fact, if go to medical school, you do

19:21 , take a neurobiology class, it separated from, from uh physiology.

19:26 right. So what we're doing is just kind of running through and

19:29 here's this, this, this, , this, this and we're just

19:31 of jumping through the system. So have this basic overview of the complexity

19:36 the, of the system. from my perspective, I'm just gonna

19:41 this and this is not to make nervous. I find it the most

19:44 because there is a lot of crossover stuff, you know, very often

19:48 biology. You can take something and it in a box and leave it

19:50 the box, right? In there are things that you put in

19:54 box and then you can move and in another box, you know,

19:56 there's a lot of crisscrossing and that uh someone like me, I like

20:01 to stick in their box and stay their box. I have many students

20:04 find this, this unit, the , but I also have many

20:08 students who are like me who these are the most, most

20:11 So just be aware that there is lot of crisscrossing of information. And

20:15 you have to figure out what is best way that I can categorize

20:19 All right. So that's kind of first four units in the last two

20:22 going to be dealing with muscle, actually be five in one. I

20:25 remember exactly. But really what we're at here is just kind of our

20:29 point. So we're gonna kind of a little bit of anatomy today.

20:32 again, the level of anatomy that approaching here is like dipping our toes

20:36 my A MP students learn more anatomy you guys. So just to give

20:40 a sense of how much anatomy we're here, which would make sense as

20:44 class. All right. So what looking at here are the areas we're

20:47 to be in. And you can that the central nervous system we've already

20:50 , I think on the very first of class, uh was that those

20:54 not? Like it's like two lectures that the central nervous system is divided

20:58 the peripheral nervous system. Central nervous includes the spinal cord and the brain

21:03 so what you're looking at here you can see the spinal cord down

21:06 and everything else up there above the cord is considered brain. So it's

21:10 brain stem, it's the diencephalon, Toon or the cerebra and the

21:15 And so we're gonna kind of just each of these parts and we're gonna

21:18 at them individually and kind of say is the big picture of what they

21:22 ? That's kind of the focus. right. And so we're going to

21:26 with the thing that we're most familiar . When we think of brain,

21:29 think of this a tal encephalon, ? Or what we refer to as

21:33 cerebrum. All right. And so is the largest portion. It's the

21:37 mushroom part here, the colors, ? If you looked at it,

21:40 has a unique characteristic. It's all , it has these, these valleys

21:45 it has these hills. These are S Sulcus. I hate trying to

21:49 the plural hill. Sulcus is singular guy is plural Gyrus is singular Gyri

21:55 sounds like something that you do at dance or something, right? It's

21:59 plural of Gyrus. All right. the groove is the sulcus, the

22:04 is the gyrus. All right. so it gives us this pattern.

22:08 right, that anatomist can use to serve as landmarks to say what I'm

22:14 at is blank, right? And can isolate this and these this pattern

22:19 you're seeing here is a function of development of the brain during your normal

22:25 . In other words, your brain grows faster than your skull does and

22:30 more of it. So it folds itself in a very particular way to

22:33 this unique pattern that you're looking Now, if you're looking at a

22:38 on and what we're not seeing but we'll see in the next

22:40 If you're looking at a face you'll see there's two hemispheres of the

22:43 and the right hemisphere and they're connected each other by a series of axons

22:47 are forming what are called tracks between two hemispheres and collectively, these tracks

22:52 called the corpus callosum. So the callosum is how the two halves talk

22:57 each other. Now, this is aside, there's been a lot of

23:01 done and if you cut the corpus , the left side of the brain

23:05 do things without the right side of brain knowing it's actually very interesting.

23:10 You know how well the brain can on its own as it were.

23:16 right. Now, as I we have landmarks in some of the

23:21 . There's these, some of these , um they, they get

23:25 really deep and they refer to them fissures, but some of the grooves

23:29 stand out as being deeper than some the, the the more shallow

23:33 right? So you have these deep and you have less deep ones and

23:37 deep ones were used very early on describe the breakdown of the brain's

23:44 So what we call these, these are called low. And your

23:49 um uh says there's four of Um This is when I was growing

23:53 and I was in your seat, were four of them. But most

23:56 now when you're talking anatomy, say are five, which is really

24:01 right? Because you can't see the one. It's actually you'd have to

24:05 out between the frontal and the temporal and it sits underneath next to the

24:09 encephalon and we're not gonna worry about or sorry, the diencephalon. All

24:14 . So we're just gonna stick with four to make our lives easy.

24:17 right. And they're pretty straightforward, ? You have the one in the

24:21 , that'd be the frontal lobe. right, frontal lobe plays a major

24:26 in your motor activity and thinking and . All right. So movement,

24:31 , thinking about stuff. I want to think about the frontal lobe.

24:36 right. Your frontal lobe is thinking itself right now. It raises some

24:43 psychological questions, doesn't it? I . Therefore, I am.

24:51 Yeah. All right. Next moving , we have the prial lobe,

24:56 ? So Prial sits back up So if you think about a hat

25:00 a Yami or anything else that sits the crown of your head. That

25:04 be where the parietal lobe sits. prial lobe plays a major role in

25:09 somatosensory information. Somatosensory is the sense touch and understanding what you're touching.

25:16 right, there are some other things it does and I'm just, this

25:21 a time out. Please do not this down. We're going to talk

25:23 vision here in the occipital lobe. understand that about 70% of your brain

25:28 visual information. And so Parietal plays role in visual processing, temporal plays

25:33 role, but we're gonna focus in like the big picture stuff. So

25:39 we, when we first discovered it like oh some out of senses.

25:41 my sense of touch OK. Occipital back here in the back. All

25:46 , it plays this is where you find the primary visual cortex. There

25:52 about 20 levels of the visual cortex are not just found there, but

25:56 I said, they move up and and so on and so forth.

25:58 processing visual information is a huge The easy way to remember where visual

26:03 begins though back here is think of eyes as a camera and that they're

26:08 light to the back of your They're not, that's not how vision

26:13 , but that's an easy way to . Oh yeah. Back here,

26:18 right appears touch over here. I'm about things and I'm moving and then

26:23 have the temporal lobe which sit over on the side. Temporal lobes are

26:29 primarily for the sense of hearing and sense of equilibrium or balance, whichever

26:34 you wish to choose right. So we have our ears next to our

26:41 , temples are called the temples because where aging shows up first off.

26:48 that kind of cool people get white here first. So it's a sign

26:54 aging. So that's why they call the temporal bones and then ultimately the

27:00 lobes underneath there, but that's my . So hearing and balance, huh

27:07 side, right? So remember each rep uh shows you have a frontal

27:11 , you have a prial lobe, have an occipital lobe, you have

27:14 temporal lobe and then we're ignoring insula so this might be a better picture

27:20 the side picture. And what we're here is we're looking at three different

27:24 . So you can kind of see organization. And what we want to

27:28 in this picture on is what is gray matter. You probably have heard

27:33 gray matter and white matter and you're that they both exist. But what

27:38 one from the other. Well, matter is where you're going to find

27:41 cell bodies of, of neurons. white matter represents the axons traveling in

27:47 particular direction. OK. So the matter is where we process information,

27:53 matter is where we send information or , the pathway through which we send

27:59 . All right. So we have different types of gray matter that's represented

28:04 in the cerebrum. Now, the developmentally is the most recent structure that

28:10 developed. Actually, I may be on that might be cerebellum, but

28:14 the most complex. And when we at as we kind of go through

28:18 central nervous system, you'll see this of organization that internally to all the

28:24 nervous system, you have gray internal and then you have white matter

28:27 the outside. And then when you up to the cerebrum, you're gonna

28:31 the gray matter on the inside, you're gonna have white matter and then

28:34 like an Oreo, you add another on the outside, which is gray

28:39 again. So it goes gray white as you move down. If you

28:44 down to the, like I said the more primitive or the earlier structures

28:48 the spinal cord, you're gonna have and then just white, there is

28:51 gray on the outside. And that's you see in this picture right

28:55 you see out here on the surface is what is referred to as the

29:00 cortex, right? That's gray right? Whenever you see the word

29:06 , the first thing you should think outside, right? If you see

29:10 you should think middle or inside. the cerebral cortex is outside gray matter

29:17 processing takes place. You can see underneath it. You have gray or

29:21 matter which we're going north right I think we do. Oh,

29:24 , I guess not. It's on same slide. So this is where

29:26 matter is. You can see these little lines are supposed to represent

29:30 tracks of white matter moving between the hemispheres themselves. But then you have

29:36 highlighted in red, right? That be the basal nuclei or basal

29:46 right? The old word is the more uh commonly used word is

29:50 . Now here, now again, is a nomenclature thing that you carry

29:54 you. All right. So when ever hear nu ganglia referred to in

29:58 nervous system, it's referring to clusters cell bodies. So it's basically a

30:03 of gray matter, right? But is typically reserved for the peripheral nervous

30:09 nuclei is typically reserved for the central system. So the basal nuclei just

30:16 just pockets of gray matter centrally located the structure of the cerebral. And

30:22 what all these little red areas have highlighted. They're not red or

30:26 they're just this particular picture is highlighting . And then we have another area

30:30 gray matter, right, which has other stuff as well associated with

30:35 And this is the limbic system. the little pink thing that you see

30:39 that represents a Gyrus, all So part of the the cerebra that

30:47 part of this larger structure called the system. The limbic system plays an

30:52 role in your emotions and your feelings response to um um you know,

30:58 uh serial input, right? So example, if someone comes up to

31:02 and goes, you know, your should be fear, right? And

31:07 that is what the limbic system is for or let's say you smell,

31:12 go over your grandma's house and you smell her, baking a

31:15 What does that make you feel Right. So that's what the limbic

31:21 does. It also plays a role , in, in creating memory and

31:24 storage and so on. But the in there, some of it is

31:30 matter. So it's not part of basal nu it's not part of the

31:36 . So you can see its structure . Uh I'm just going to point

31:41 out now. So once you look this and I say this, you'll

31:43 not see it. It looks like little tiny space shrimp stuck in the

31:48 right now, every time you see picture of the limbic system, you're

31:51 to see a little tiny space Every picture looks like that.

31:54 ma'am, you never played. And , right. So usually what happens

32:06 is the cell dies, right? whenever you stroke, you basically,

32:10 blocking the flow of blood. So no longer providing nutrients, particularly

32:14 And so what happens is those cells . And then so now we create

32:18 lesion of space where things can't be . So it's not just a

32:23 it's usually the cell itself. And what you now have to do is

32:26 have to train to do whatever activity through a new pathway. Thank

32:34 Uh Typically, no. All because so what one of the

32:39 one of the characteristics of neurons is neurons are non regenerative. Now that

32:44 wrong. There are some neurons that regenerative, but they regenerate incredibly

32:50 And in fact, the glial cells regenerate much, much quicker. So

32:53 typically fill up the space of scar . So if there is a cell

32:56 happened to survive, it can't get to where it started. And so

33:01 , it's basically lost. All So does the cerebral make sense so

33:07 , gray matter, white matter, matter, different areas of gray matter

33:11 information? All right. So when talk about the basal nuclei, we're

33:15 about movement. For the most when we talk about the cerebral

33:17 it's all sorts of different things because have different parts of the brain that

33:21 stuff. So back here in the lobe, what would you think the

33:25 cortex is doing? What's it processing information up here? What's it processing

33:33 thinking or motor motor activity? All . So that's, that's kind of

33:37 we're doing here now, I think here, let me see if I

33:39 it. Yeah. So it's involved movement control. This is the first

33:44 of something where it's like I'm putting in the box, but I'm also

33:47 it in the other box and it kind of confusing. But the way

33:51 can remember, basal nuclei is really simple. You always heard of

33:54 disease just looking around the room, people nodding heads, people in the

33:58 . Parkinson's, what is the primary ? In other words, how does

34:04 normally get expressed among Parkinson's patients? other words, how do you know

34:07 ? Yeah, this, what's that tremor as I was thinking right?

34:12 you see the tremor, all And what that tremor is, is

34:17 the nuclei not controlling the antagonistic movement the muscles. So for every

34:23 you have an antagonist and really whenever move and I probably got this in

34:28 , in the slide that talks about basal nuclei in and of itself.

34:31 when we move, we're actually moving a plan and we're doing it

34:37 And so what your new uh basal is responsible for is recognize that inaccurate

34:42 before it actually happens and to make . So for example, if I'm

34:47 up a cup, it looks like moving smoothly to pick up the

34:52 But what's really happening is micro corrections are taking place before I even make

34:57 contraction, that kind of cool. when the basal nuclei is damaged,

35:03 corrections aren't taking place. So you're shooting and you're under shooting and over

35:07 . And so that appears like a . That's why you have the

35:14 Ok. So when we say that's what it's responsible for is to

35:18 make smooth movement. And if you've a park, someone with Parkinson's or

35:24 seen it, like my grandfather, played tennis until he was like 85

35:29 then Parkinson's hit him and it was saddest thing, but it was wild

35:33 he would like walk and he had turn and he'd get to that point

35:36 then he would do this like his had to process all the movements in

35:41 for him just to do this to . You know, that's what the

35:46 nuclear is for. All right, cerebellum is your little brain. All

35:52 . I'm gonna use an example It may hit, it may

35:55 I don't know how knowledgeable you guys about computers. Knowledgeable. Yes or

36:00 . Uh some people. All So you know what ac pu

36:03 That's the central processing unit. That's brain of your computer. And if

36:07 play video games, you have a U A graphics processing unit that sits

36:13 to the side. All right, GP U is a little brain to

36:19 all the images that the computer needs order to make your video game.

36:22 awesome and glorious. All right, cerebellum is like the GP U.

36:27 took all the processing that you need do for some specific activities and moved

36:32 off the cerebra and took it to cerebellum. All right. Now,

36:37 what we say, it plays a in balance, planning and execution of

36:42 movement. So what happens is the comes up with a plan and

36:46 hey, you know what I wanna , I wanna take a step to

36:49 right. And it says this is I wanna do. And so it

36:52 that information over to the cerebellum. says, let me take a look

36:55 your plan and let me see if reasonable and accurate, capable of being

36:59 . And then it processes and yes, that's, that's actually a

37:01 idea. These are the steps that need to do and it sends that

37:04 back up to the cerebrum and then cerebrum then tells the muscles, this

37:08 what you need to do. And the basal nuclei gets involved and then

37:11 cerebellum gets involved again and there's all cross talking that's taking place. But

37:16 , what I'm trying to get at is that the cerebellum talks to the

37:21 , it doesn't talk to the It's the thing that does this check

37:26 make sure that your things are right? All right. Let's see

37:30 we can do this to kind of you grass. This. Have you

37:33 been walking around, walking, walking , checking your phone. Do you

37:38 do this ever? Your heads down the time? Have you ever tripped

37:43 a, on a sidewalk in You know, because all ours are

37:46 flat, so only the most Find that little, little edge,

37:53 two inch edges, right? And you tripped, did you do something

37:57 incredible? Like here I am it's like left, right,

38:01 right foot gets caught, trip and catch yourself and you look around

38:07 ok, no one saw that and you just keep going on your

38:10 right. So notice what you have is you have a pattern of behavior

38:14 , right left, right. So cerebellum approved the plan and then something

38:18 horribly wrong. And what did your do? It, corrected the plan

38:23 ensure that it was able to That's how you can kind of think

38:28 what it's doing. It's not talking the muscles themselves. It's telling the

38:33 what to do. The cerebrum plays role. Now, what this is

38:37 you is that there's different regions and can kind of see this is it

38:41 . This is the side view, is the side view. Uncut.

38:45 right. And what we have here we have these three different regions and

38:48 see they have a very long scary . All right. Whenever you see

38:51 long, scary names. What we looking at are the way the biologists

38:54 you exactly what the structure is and it does. All right. So

38:58 top region here, the vestibular, going to be the little green

39:02 So the top one here there in , vestibular cerebellum. So you can

39:05 all the half is cerebellum. So telling you where you are. So

39:08 first half is telling you what it . Vestibular deals with equilibrium and

39:13 So the thing in your ear, we're going to talk about a little

39:15 later that allows you to know which is up and which way is down

39:18 the vestibular apparatus. So anything with deals with that. So basically,

39:24 is what allows you to coordinate the of your head with the movement of

39:26 eyes and keeps you from vomiting every you walk. Ok. Vestibular

39:35 You ever been to a tennis tennis match? Watching the tennis

39:41 vestibular cerebellum? All right, spino or spino cerebellum. What we're looking

39:46 here is dealing with the question of tone coordinated, skilled voluntary movements.

39:52 did I just describe a moment ago walking? That is a skilled

39:55 You know what walking is, it's falling, right? Think about what

40:03 is. I mean, what do do? You take your weight,

40:06 lift it up and you put your forward and then you catch yourself,

40:12 is not falling. What's swimming, drowning? There you go. All

40:18 . So, here, what we're is again, we're talking to the

40:22 . But what we're doing is that is going down to make sure that

40:26 movement of the muscles is doing. it's supposed to do, think of

40:29 sort of skilled activity, dribbling a , walking, chewing gum and walking

40:34 the same time, whatever weird thing want to do that requires some sort

40:37 skilled activity is being processed here in spino cerebellum, spino cerebellum, which

40:44 it, it's going to be the stuff. OK. That's region.

40:47 finally, we have the cerebral This is where you're going to the

40:51 areas themselves. All right. So we, what we don't learn about

40:56 this class is both direct and indirect of motor control just because we don't

41:00 the time to do it all. the direct pathways are going to be

41:04 the cerebrum. The indirect pathways is that is processed by the cerebellum,

41:09 doesn't go back up to the So you can kind of think of

41:13 as indirect and, and the the area, the larger one, the

41:18 is the direct pathways. All So they are receiving information not just

41:23 the cerebra but from other areas to these kind of decisions. Um

41:29 this is just an example. So you think about the CPU and the

41:34 U, which one has more processing ? You wanna know? It's a

41:40 U. All right. They're This is what many people are using

41:43 to, to program A I. because they, it processes stuff much

41:49 because it has more transistors. It's , they're very limited um um instruction

41:56 . And so cerebellum is just like has more neurons. It does a

42:02 faster processing, but you can't run body on a cerebellum. You need

42:07 three room. Ok? So Sara regulates movement, regulates balance,

42:17 Very, very fancy, fancy schmancy for the middle part of the

42:21 right? So you have to diencephalon underneath it. This is supposed

42:26 represent the structures of the diencephalon. can see here that we have a

42:32 word here, thalamus. And then other words have prefixes to them.

42:36 have hypo and epi hypo means hypo . Epi means on top of or

42:46 . Now, I don't know how way over here and hype over there

42:50 the thalamus is there. But I'm going to judge how they name this

42:53 , but in essence, what they're is our frame of reference is the

42:57 . And then we have a structure and we got a structure over

43:00 All right. Now, the way can remember this stuff, the thalamus

43:03 the place where almost all the sensory on your body enters in first before

43:08 gets dispersed to the rest of the . All right. So the way

43:12 like to think about the thalamus is it is a processing center much like

43:16 post office as a processing center. doesn't mean that the information doesn't know

43:20 it's going. It's just that information processed there before it's sent on to

43:23 cerebrum. All right. So what it does, it allows you

43:28 have a crude awareness of your both internally and externally. Now,

43:33 don't have a good example of this I think any example I give you

43:37 as, as, as good as it could be. But it's

43:42 um if someone is touching you, , you're aware that someone is touching

43:46 , right? You, you know this is a person or, or

43:50 dog or a wall or some sort snake or whatever horrible thing you can

43:55 touching you can, you can, can understand the thing that's being

43:59 right? So that's a function of cerebrum. So we can go back

44:04 the philosopher, which philosopher said, think therefore I am dear.

44:09 Yeah. OK. I, I to go through my philosopher song by

44:13 Python. That's how, that's how remember it. And it's, it

44:16 me a while to get there for rest of you're looking at me like

44:19 have no idea what you're talking There is a world of humor out

44:22 that you guys have to explore, with Monty Python. All right.

44:27 , so dear said, I think I am. And the idea here

44:31 I'm aware of self ergo. I be, that's really what he's

44:36 So that would be your Cerebrum. . I think about, I'm,

44:39 aware. Therefore, I must be that exists. The thalamus is I

44:45 . It just is. Right. it knows that it's being touched but

44:48 doesn't know what is being touched by why it's being touched. But it's

44:53 . That's crude awareness. I'm I'm cold. It's dark, it's

44:57 , but that's the extent of the , the processing of the awareness has

45:02 go to the cerebrum in order for to happen. All right.

45:08 the thalamus also plays an important role reinforcing voluntary motor control. Do you

45:12 , once again, let's just throw sucker into the motor box. All

45:18 . Hypothalamus, man, this can rough. Uh And not because it's

45:24 complex but that it is, it what we call like the central regulator

45:28 hormones. It is the central the autonomic nervous system, it's really

45:33 as part of the endocrine system. so what it does is it regulates

45:38 those things that we would call homeostatic , right? So what would be

45:44 that you'd consider being homeostatic? Something you'd say is something that I have

45:47 regulate to make sure I'm alive. All right. I heard food.

45:51 hunger. What's something else? Body , great. Something else,

45:57 something else. Stress something else. mean, we can, we could

46:02 this all day. Right. And the hypothalamus plays an important role,

46:07 only acting through hormones, but through responses. Right. So that's the

46:16 way to think about it. The slide, we're going to look at

46:18 bunch of those different things just as list. And then we have the

46:22 . The epithalamus is this region over and there's two areas of particular

46:27 Oh I would point out whenever you nucleus, what, what kind of

46:30 are you looking at here? Gray or white matter, gray matter.

46:33 again, you're going to see these words over the course of your

46:37 not so much in this class, like in an admin class, you

46:39 nucleus and that nucleus and don't let freak you out. It's just telling

46:42 there's this region of gray matter. it's a cluster of cells that

46:45 are bunched together, that's all it , right? So this one is

46:50 haul. I don't even know what means, but it's the hauler

46:53 right? And then we have the gland and the pal gland you've heard

46:57 , or at least you're aware of . How many of you guys have

47:00 taken Melatonin to help you fall Yeah, it's OK. It's,

47:03 , it's, it's an approved right? It's not horribly regulated by

47:07 FDA. Although it probably should be it is a hormone melatonin is what

47:14 pineal gland uses to regulate your internal . And so we're taking it because

47:20 clock is misbehaving. So we take and it makes us fall asleep.

47:24 then what we've done is we've left the clock and there's this process of

47:27 to reset it. So I'm not , don't take it. It's just

47:30 aware that if you're like popping melatonin night to go to sleep, there

47:34 be something that you need to All right. Anyway, so that

47:39 , it basically is a responsible for circadian rhythms. It's also part of

47:44 limbic system. All right. So plays a role in, in understanding

47:49 and processing it uh with regard to and learning as well. All

47:54 But typically P gland circadian rhythm is easy way to do this.

47:59 on this next slide, II, don't want you to sit here and

48:02 to memorize every jelly bean that's been here. That's, that's not

48:05 that's not its job. All or not your job, right?

48:09 what this is just trying to show like look, the hypothalamus is

48:13 right? And you can kind of your head and say, yeah,

48:15 get it. Nervous system is Got that. Thank you, Doctor

48:18 . And really all I'm just trying show you is look at all the

48:21 that you've already named, right? are the types of things that these

48:25 regions are responsible for. Notice emotional in there, right? Happy and

48:33 . Mad, you know, these emotional states that if you're, if

48:38 mad all the time is, is something wrong? Do you think?

48:41 about sad all the time? That's easy one. Right. Yeah.

48:44 these emotional responses are part of your balance and things that are tilting you

48:51 way or the other are things that be impinging upon your health in ways

48:56 aren't healthy. I don't know. a terrible way. Never use this

48:59 in the definition. All right. here's one that you probably don't even

49:02 of sleep wake, you know, body needs sleep, right? So

49:08 have to regulate that. Have you fallen asleep in class? It's,

49:13 , can you, we all have you ever done the knap

49:19 Right. That's basically you're bouncing between sleep system and the wake system.

49:24 actually fighting each other when you're doing whole thing, you know, but

49:30 starting there in the hypothalamus. So , all the things that you just

49:36 , but notice what I want to out here also is that it's not

49:39 the hypothalamus, there are other aspects are going to be playing a role

49:44 regulating these things. So we've already emotion which part, which part of

49:47 brain plays a major role in regulating , limbic system. Good.

49:52 that was what I'm looking for. as the whole. So it's not

49:56 , oh, that jelly bean right . OK. Anyone of you guys

50:04 up watching, uh, Pinky in Brain Animaniacs. Did you ever learn

50:08 , the brain song? No. . Just, that's just something.

50:12 go look up some time on Brain sings the parts of the

50:15 It's called the Brain song. And was one of the, if you

50:19 know back in the eighties when these were in the nineties and when these

50:23 were being released, they were required law to make their shows educational.

50:28 why you see the kind of the where it's like at the, at

50:30 end of the show like G I and it's like, you know,

50:34 don't talk to strangers and you're what, why is it that,

50:37 was how they were able to do cartoons, right? So Peking the

50:41 and the Animaniacs, what they did they had songs like the names,

50:45 parts of the States or the Capitals stuff like that. And they're fun

50:48 and one of them was the parts the brain which no kid would ever

50:53 . And the, the, the part of the song that we repeated

50:57 and over again was pinky. You , Brain would be singing the parts

51:00 the brain, like have a newer . And then, uh, pinky

51:03 come in and say brain stem, stem and then they'd sing another part

51:07 the brain. It was. so whenever I see this, that's

51:11 first thing I think is a little pink rat, it's the oldest part

51:16 the brain. It is what we the primitive brain. Uh, when

51:20 hear about someone who's brain damaged but alive, the reason they're still alive

51:23 because this thing is keeping them Right? When you look at a

51:27 , the lizard has this weak looking has a weak looking cerebri, but

51:32 looks just fine. It looks pretty , right? So what does it

51:36 or what is, what parts do have? Um, it has three

51:39 . So here you can see the sitting up here on top. It

51:43 of looks like a turkey in this . But underneath that, that green

51:46 that would be your brain, your mid brain and underlying that,

51:49 the ponds. And then down here the Mela or it's official real

51:53 The Mela Ablan. If you've seen water, boy, you've seen the

51:57 , I see the smile, the discussion about what makes an alligator

52:03 ? Oh my God, you got . Just start writing them down

52:06 Boy, the whole thing about the , making alligators artery mama says,

52:12 , I'm not gonna go there, ? Now, this is where you'll

52:17 the 12 cranial nerves. Some of might be afraid of the 12 cranial

52:20 . You've been told to be afraid the 12 cranial nerve, don't be

52:24 of them. All right, they're pretty easy. But those, whenever

52:27 see nerve nerve is part of the nervous system, I'm gonna say it

52:31 and I'm gonna say it again a bit later. When you see

52:34 it is part of the periphery. is not part of the central nervous

52:37 . If I cut your brain I'm not going to find nerves.

52:41 gonna find tracks. All right, are part of the peripheral nervous

52:45 All right, all the information passing from the spinal cord or down from

52:53 cerebrum has to pass through the brain , right? So there are a

52:56 of synapses here. There are lots different nuclei here. And when it

53:01 time to memorize your neuroanatomy, you're to be kind of like, oh

53:04 goodness. There's so much here. , there's a lot, but there's

53:08 lot of processing, a lot of processing that takes place here. All

53:13 , there's a couple of things that pass through without synapses here. But

53:16 the most part, they will like here, we're going to do a

53:20 simple overview so that you understand these . All right. Again, this

53:24 not anatomy. So we're not gonna and look at each new, the

53:27 area we want to look at is midbrain. All right, this plays

53:31 primary role in eye control and right? So, like I

53:37 when you go to this, go a um tennis match and you sit

53:42 and your head is sitting there looking , but your eyes are doing.

53:47 a brain stem. All right, nerves are originating here. Cranial nerves

53:52 their nuclei found here. Cranial nerve three, and cranial nerve number

53:56 So you can see by its it's pretty straightforward. What that

54:00 Oulo I motor movement. Yeah. that was an easy one show.

54:06 . Who knows what it means? never bothered to look it up.

54:08 right. But it's, it plays role in, in eye movement as

54:12 . All right. So it also a role in relaying auditory and visual

54:17 . All right. What's an auditory ? Have you ever been walking across

54:21 ? And someone yells, hey, you turn around. Has it

54:26 Have you done that? Like some are looking at me like never,

54:30 one ever yells across campus, you ? All right. Hey, is

54:35 name? Hey, but you turned . Why? Because loud sounds make

54:40 want to know what's going on as reflex, right? Same thing with

54:44 visual, right? You see something by your head's gonna turn and it's

54:49 follow. That's a reflex. So that information is being relayed through the

54:55 or the, yeah, the the ponds looks like the brain stem

55:01 pregnant. It bulges outward. And it sits just opposite the

55:07 So it serves as a relay for going into the cerebellum from the spinal

55:14 and the medulla and also for fibers in from the cerebrum. So they

55:18 in both directions and then they come in both directions as well. All

55:24 . So that would be one of primary things. But in terms of

55:27 are the different things that it Well. And again, you can

55:30 cranial nerves here, mastication, don't this with another word. Please

55:35 I'll keep you guys awake. I make you make you nervous. You'll

55:39 home mom. He's the dirtiest old and you wouldn't be far off.

55:45 right? Mastication. It is OK. This is through cranial nerve

55:51 five, the trigem. Again, not gonna ask you to memorize this

55:54 , but just to kind of point why do you think it's called Trigemini

55:58 ? What is a Gemini twins? ? So I tried gem and I

56:04 be triplets, right? So this is a big fat one and it

56:09 this, it branches. I can't ignore that finger, it branches like

56:13 , so it's 123, the All right. Uh sensory input from

56:21 face, the scalp. So when feel something touching your face, that's

56:27 through um cranial nerve number five as . Eye movement. This is the

56:32 uh uh Abducens uh is the same as abduct. So when aliens come

56:38 abduct you, which way are they you up? So what the Abducens

56:43 ? It makes your eye, it innervates one eye muscle and it's what

56:46 you to do this look up over or over there, just whichever eye

56:51 is. My daughter was born without ab AUC on one side. It's

56:56 wildest thing ever, you know. you can say, I want you

56:59 look over here and both eyes go this. And then the other one

57:02 because this, the abduct would be this side, but it's not on

57:05 side. And so when I look up over there, this one

57:08 go and it will look this but this one stops. So it's

57:12 of like being cross eye but not wild, right? Facial nerve.

57:17 do you think it innervates your right? Your face. OK.

57:23 . All right. Uh Vestibulocochlear based what I told you a minute

57:27 what do you think vestibular part is right balance. So cochlear is the

57:32 of the ear that's responsible for So thess Cochlear is responsible for getting

57:37 from the hearing portion of the ear well. All right, and we

57:41 a minute about the, the hearing , the reflex to or the auditory

57:46 . So where do you think it from here? Ponds? Ok.

57:53 , also regulates breathing blood pressure, rate, digestion. So you kind

57:57 get a sense now of, yeah, I can see why if

58:01 brain dead, but I'm still being alive. It's because there are structures

58:05 here that regulate structures in the mela keep me the, these critical organs

58:13 that takes us down to the So again, Mela means middle.

58:18 just probably has to oblong. All . Um It's the portion that's closest

58:25 the spinal cord. So it looks lot like the spinal cord. Uh

58:29 , this is going to be hearing balance. Uh information is gonna be

58:33 through there. Uh I'm here listing couple more of the uh just for

58:38 . Cranial nerve. Number 10 is big boy. This is the one

58:41 you can tattoo to your body because the one that is like the one

58:44 everyone should know. Randal nerve. 10 is the nerve that travels down

58:49 the visa is responsible for regulating your , regulating your lungs, regulating your

58:55 system, regulating anything that is found the abdominal or thoracic region,

59:02 So that's the Vegas nerve. So happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

59:06 don't know, just come up with . Um Glossopharyngeal, that's the cranial

59:11 . Number nine. Again, the gloss is tongue, pharynx is

59:16 So it's the tongue and throat Ok. What is one of the

59:21 that you can do with your Swallow? So that plays a major

59:28 in swallowing. So when you are water, it doesn't go dribbling out

59:34 your face. That's glossal. All . Another fun one is the

59:38 Guys. Aren't gonna get this Ladies. You're gonna get this right

59:41 when you go to the store and earrings and necklaces. What are you

59:45 accessories? All right guys, we know what an accessory is. All

59:49 . So easy way to remember that , neck muscles. Um And then

59:54 last one is a hypoglossal. Have ever talked to somebody? And then

59:57 of a sudden spat at him like spitting cobra. You know that little

60:01 a, a hypo is underneath, below gloss's tongue. So it

60:06 it controls the tongue and salivary glance as well. So that's why when

60:12 talking, you get that, you , oh I'm so sorry. Worst

60:19 you'll ever see in physiology. This the reticular formation. All right.

60:25 you can see here a little blue the picture, right? You see

60:28 arrows traveling up and then spreading out the brain. What this is trying

60:31 tell you is that the reticular formation throughout the central regions of the brain

60:38 . OK. So there are a bunch of different nuclei that are just

60:42 through this space. And then what do is information comes in and then

60:47 sends information all over the brain, is why you have arrows pointing

60:52 Totally useless picture, isn't it? ? But the idea here is what

60:56 want you to understand about the reticular that it plays a significant portion or

61:01 significant part in maintaining arousal of the system. Now, arousal here is

61:08 like, oh I'm attracted. Arousal is alertness. OK? So it's

61:12 other definition. All right. So we talked about wake sleep, this

61:18 a reticular formation. Give you an of this. Have you ever been

61:21 along on like say 45? And is moving at a nice clip and

61:26 you get stuck between two semis and can actually feel the car shaking,

61:31 know how you kind of become a bit more aware of your surroundings,

61:35 ? That would be the reticular formation let's not die right now.

61:39 It's making you more alert. All . So muscle tone stretch,

61:44 these things are being regulated through So when we talk about reflexes coming

61:48 to the brain stem, it's here the reticular formation, coordination of

61:52 which is also going to be coordinated the ponds and the medulla, these

61:55 regions when we get to breathing, talk about its regulation. So it's

62:01 within the reticular formation, blood pain, particular formation. So you

62:05 kind of see this kind of this of what's going on. So part

62:11 this awareness needs to go up to three room so that we are ultimately

62:15 , I think therefore I am but all information needs to go up

62:18 So like a reflex doesn't travel it goes in and comes back

62:22 but there is a diffuse alertness that's on. You can go ahead and

62:33 that. There's nothing worse when someone talking and you're trying to keep

62:38 All right. So we've walked through structures, what we, we what

62:42 technically call the brain and notice I'm sitting here uh pointing out different parts

62:47 and, and kind of isolating It's kind of this general idea

62:50 do I know what this thing How does this work in, in

62:54 context of controlling things? So, example, you should be able to

62:59 , oh thalamus, I'm sending information and it's telling that information where it

63:02 . What does a hypothalamus do? , it regulates something that's either autonomic

63:06 endocrine in nature. Homeostatic in So that's kind of where our thinking

63:11 right now. OK. And what doing is we're going to move down

63:14 the spinal cord and we typically don't about this, but the spinal cord

63:18 the same sort of role that the does, right? It processes

63:23 So, you know, if you on attack, what do you do

63:26 you step on that attack, you your foot up. Right. Do

63:29 have to think about it? I think about it. Look, I

63:33 , usually what will happen is like you touch a hot stove, step

63:37 attack, you move. And then that's when you say, right.

63:42 there is processing that's taking place within spinal cord, then it sends information

63:47 to the cerebri so that you're actually of it. right? So

63:50 there's a different role, but it still processing information. Now, in

63:55 of anatomy, it basically extends out the skull. So your brain stem

64:00 down and becomes a spinal cord and it passes through what this hole in

64:04 skull called the frame. And magnus , you don't need to know that's

64:08 what it does, what does frame magnus mean anyone wanna, you know

64:13 magnus means Big Freeman is a fancy word for hole. So the hole

64:21 the bottom of your skull, it called the big hole. I'm telling

64:25 anatomy becomes a lot easier once you're like, I'm not going to be

64:28 of the words. I'm learning a language. All right. So for

64:32 Magnus, it comes on down and travels down and along its length.

64:37 it's doing is it's traveling alongside the . So here you can see the

64:41 has a body and then it has spines that stick out. Um uh

64:46 what we call processes. And then between the processes, there's this little

64:51 or arch that's formed and it's through , that the spinal cord is actually

64:57 . So it's protected by the bone the spinal cord or, or of

65:00 vertebrae. But that vertebrae is movable that your spine can be movable as

65:06 . And so at each junction between of these processes in each of the

65:11 is a branch of a spinal So basically, there are nerves that

65:16 exiting out and becoming part of the nervous system and it travels all the

65:20 down 31 segments. And in it ends somewhere around L one or

65:26 two. So that's the region as can see over here, there's cervical

65:31 lumbar Sarel, and then finally coccidial here at the bottom. So it's

65:36 about where the lumbar vertebrae are located the 1st and 2nd 1. And

65:42 reason for that is that nervous tissue slower than bones. And so as

65:46 bones are expanding this way, or body is growing this way, your

65:51 cord is doing the same thing, it's not doing it at the same

65:54 . So it ends up being And so at the bottom here,

65:57 end up with a whole bunch of nerves that need to keep traveling

66:01 And if you looked at it, looks like the hair of a horse

66:05 . So it's given the name horse . All right. So there's a

66:11 bit of anatomy for you. But we're interested in is what's actually coming

66:15 with regard to the spinal nerves and spinal cord itself. And so you

66:19 see here, here's a slice. what we've done is we've removed the

66:22 and we're looking at it from the side, which is your belly side

66:25 then back up here, that would the dorsal side. All right.

66:29 if you can't remember dorsal, from , just think of a fish or

66:32 , or a shark or a And the fin that sits on the

66:35 is called the dorsal fin. So if you ever get lost, that's

66:40 easy way. Or if they use posterior, you can't remember which mama

66:44 . Uh mama popped you on the . So that's the other way you

66:48 remember. All right. Now, you can see is the formation of

66:55 spinal nerve and really this is the spinal nerve right here. This

67:00 up here has different nomenclature that we're look at and you can see it

67:04 . There's a portion that comes out the spinal cord in the front and

67:07 are a portion that comes out of , of the portion on the back

67:10 I'm gonna change my language now because are directional. All right. Have

67:14 been to a restaurant? And you've like the doors to the kitchen,

67:18 door goes in, one door goes . So one's an indoor, one's

67:20 outdoor. All right. So these are both indoors and outdoors to the

67:25 cord. So information leaves the spinal through the vial route. Information goes

67:31 via the dorsal route. All So this side is the in or

67:37 the outdoor that side back there? the indoor information going into the spinal

67:46 is information coming from the periphery. it contains sensory information, right?

67:52 information that I'm detecting from the external of the world or my external environment

67:57 things inside my body. But I'm it up to the brain and the

68:01 cord to understand what it is. going out is what we call motor

68:08 . So these structures here are we have other terms that we

68:14 Let's see if I'm actually putting them . Um I do, I do

68:17 those terms. So information going in a information coming out is EENT.

68:25 right. And again, I'm putting strong accent on A&E so that you

68:29 distinguish between the two. It's really and efferent, which is horrible,

68:35 out here in Texas. All So what you're looking at here are

68:42 roots and they look like the roots a tree. And really what this

68:46 is just these are bundles of fibers are, are, are are connecting

68:50 to form larger bundles and larger So ultimately, you form a spinal

68:54 . So the spinal nerve is collectively coming in and fibers going out.

69:00 at this point, it's a mixed , a mixed nerve. But on

69:06 ventral side, on the ventral it's always, always, always

69:10 And on the dorsal side, always, always incoming. Now where

69:18 going is gonna be the gray matter the spinal cord. And we said

69:23 that gray matter is found on the , white matter is found on the

69:30 . And it's only until we get the reb room where we see more

69:32 matter on the outside because there's not room for it internally. Now,

69:39 you look at this, the shape the gray matter you can see here

69:43 this stuff on the central portion. has a kind of a shape to

69:46 . It looks kind of like a . It's not a very good

69:49 but just go with it. All . And so we refer to the

69:54 of the butterfly as being horns, ? So we have a horn on

69:59 top side that would be dorsal, have a horn on the bottom side

70:02 ventral and then we have a horn sits out on the side that would

70:05 lateral. All right. So what deal? Well, remember things are

70:09 differently because they do different things. so when fibers come in what they're

70:17 , let me see if I left off. I did. I'm gonna

70:20 this out here. Dorsal root ganglion there. All right. So fibers

70:26 in are terminating in the dorsal right? So that's where the axon

70:32 are. Their cell bodies are going be located out here in the dorsal

70:37 ganglion. What is a ganglion? thing as a nucleus, right?

70:43 a nuclei. Where do we find central? Where do we find ganglia

70:49 ? So it's just a collection or cluster of cell bodies? Ok.

70:55 , this sensory neuron which the cell is located here comes into the dorsal

71:01 and it's terminating on a cell. this would be a neuron which is

71:06 sitting in there. So the cell in the dorsal horn are going to

71:11 receiving sensory input. Now, what gonna do is they're gonna process that

71:17 input and they're going to decide which it needs to go. So what

71:21 looking at here primarily are the types neurons that we call inter neurons.

71:28 an interneuron? If you didn't know you don't know the definition, if

71:32 had to guess, what do you interneuron means inter means in between,

71:39 the in between neuron. So I a sensory neuron, I have an

71:43 between neuron and then on the other coming back out would be a motor

71:50 . So if I step on a , I detect the pain, that

71:56 goes up to the spinal cord gets and what does the spinal cord tell

72:00 to do, move my foot? so it's telling what a muscle to

72:05 the foot, that would be the neuron. So what we're seeing here

72:10 a pattern. So the inter neuron bodies are located up here in the

72:14 horn. Now, the motor neuron which the interneuron is sending, its

72:20 is going to be found in one two places. If you're talking about

72:23 skeletal muscle, you're talking about somatic . That's those two words are,

72:30 uh united together. So what does mean to be somatic? All

72:33 skeletal, well, those are gonna located down here in the ventral

72:38 And then if I'm autonomic, in words, let's say I put food

72:42 my stomach and then my stomach signals there's food and I need to start

72:48 . Then that signal is going to autonomic. It's outside of my control

72:52 tell the glands to start secreting their . All right. So autonomic are

72:59 things which we cannot control, That are outside of our realm of

73:04 . All right. Here's another simple , right? Like I've used this

73:07 , the cute guy you like and starts talking to you, right?

73:11 your heart gonna do? Right? can't control that. You're desperately trying

73:17 control it. So he doesn't hear because you can hear it right.

73:21 he can't. But what you're doing you are doing something that you have

73:25 control over. That's autonomic, It's a response to the environment.

73:31 right. So lateral horn, autonomic or autonomic motor, ventral, somatic

73:41 or somatic motor. And then up in the doole, it's sensory and

73:46 not distinguishing whether it's autonomic or visceral somatic because both of them go

73:52 All right. So, dorsal where come in, that's where sensory comes

73:58 . There's going to be an The inter neuron sends the information to

74:01 it's going to be ventral or lateral that's dependent upon autonomic or somatic.

74:07 you think you could write that down , and map it out for

74:11 There's only like three things right This is where I got lost in

74:17 neuron anatomy back in the day. , because I got lost, I'm

74:22 gonna make you memorize at all. just want to point out that you

74:25 a lot of gray matter. So the, if the gray matter,

74:28 lot of white matter, you have matter that looks like the butterfly,

74:31 else is white matter. What is matter, white matter are tracks,

74:35 neurons or the axons of neurons traveling two points. And so if your

74:40 cord is sending information up and information , the white matter represents the tracks

74:45 go up and the tracks that go . If you go up, you

74:49 , if you go down, you , if you are ascending, you

74:53 sending sensory input up into the And if you're descending, what type

74:57 information is coming back down motor. right. So here's again, another

75:03 , right? As sending is the thing as sensory, which is the

75:07 thing as a descending is the same as motor, which is the same

75:12 as EENT. So those three terms uh you know, for each of

75:17 are exchangeable and that's all this is trying to show you don't need to

75:21 where the green things are and where blue things are. They all have

75:24 . The names get really scary because as long as a page and

75:28 they're not as scary as I thought were when I was sitting in your

75:31 . I'm just gonna tell you now names are from where they go and

75:34 where they, where from where they and where they end. So they

75:38 long names because usually those things have names. That's it. And so

75:44 I was trying to describe for and you can see right here

75:47 I'm standing on the electric tack information up, goes via the sensory

75:53 right, goes in through the dorsal into the dorsal horn. Here we

76:00 the interneuron traveling down to the ventral . So that must be a motor

76:05 . That motor neuron is somatic because ventral and then we have that motor

76:09 going down to the muscle to tell to contract the muscle, so I

76:12 lift up my foot. Right. a reflex arc. There is an

76:18 path, there's an Eva path, is a receptor down here to detect

76:24 I'm actually trying to, to uh know, whatever I'm detecting the

76:29 So I'll just go walk them through to detect the stimuli and a pathway

76:35 send that information up to the processing . The inter neuron in this particular

76:40 is serving as our processor, It's integrating information and it's determining what

76:46 response should be. Then once the is determined, a signal is sent

76:51 the e pathway to the effector, does an effector do causes an

77:00 Keep the names who was a changer be, I'd keep. But

77:03 it's sure. Now a reflex typically segmental, meaning it stays in the

77:10 level, it comes up and you in the same level and you go

77:13 . But that's not the only thing can do. You can move to

77:17 spinal segments, which is kind of or you can even go all the

77:22 up to the brain stem, So information can come in, it

77:28 going all the way up because of brain stem processes. There comes right

77:32 down again, whenever you're dealing with reflex, what you're doing is you

77:37 not involving the cerebrum to process the , right? When someone says,

77:45 , you don't sit there and Huh? That's an interesting sound.

77:48 wonder what that is. You just right. If someone says duck,

77:53 do you do? That's a then you start thinking about what it

77:58 that you're ducking for. Right? you're hoping it's not a bird.

78:05 super segmental just refers to the brain . It's up, it's going

78:16 I'm gonna end on this slide just um I think this is probably a

78:22 place to end here. All But in essence, and I know

78:25 a little bit behind, but I , whenever we have a test,

78:27 always rant for like seven minutes, ? In essence, what I'm trying

78:31 show you here is the organization of peripheral nervous system. Hell,

78:37 we're just gonna stop here because if start talking about this, it,

78:40 , it, it goes better with next couple of slides. All

78:43 before we leave, before we start out of here and go, we're

78:46 for the day and the weekend and know, whatever. Are there any

78:49 about this stuff that we talked about ? Can you walk out of here

78:54 in 15 minutes sit down, which not fun and actually start going over

78:59 you just learned and kind of organizing . Can you, are you capable

79:03 doing that? Could you do that you try to do that. You're

79:07 , I don't know, I'll nod head and maybe he'll let me out

79:10 the classroom. Right. Trust If you study now, if you

79:15 making small inroads to the studying, you're going to get more free time

79:20 , how many of you would like actually go out the night before the

79:22 and go? Have a good Yeah. Trust me. If you

79:28 your studying forward and during the day get your evenings back and that is

79:34 far better way to live life. it a whirl. I will see

79:40 on Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday. ,
