Speech-Language Pathology Praxis Review
This study set was adapted from the user Anetz's practice set. She stated the following:
"This study set has at
... [Show More] least 500 cards gleaned from as many SLP Praxis sets available on Quizlet as of August 2016. Then I added more as I studied various practice Praxis tests. Feel free to import this set into your own account so you can change personalize it.
This comes with no guarantees that it is 100% accurate! Check everything, and good luck!
Btw, I did pass the praxis."
As I have been studying, I have been confirming the information and insuring all information from the Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology Fourth Edition has been included. Subject areas that have been confirmed will include a "confirmed" in the subject heading.
NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM (pg. 25-56)
NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM- confirmed
Efferent/afferent neurons
transmit info away from brain (motor)/bring info to brain (sensory)
Nerve cells endings
Dendrites - receive signals
Axons - send signal on
Microglia
Scavengers to remove dead cells and other waste in brain
Autonomic nervous system
Components:
Sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
Activates fight or flight response
Parasympathetic nervous system
Returns body to state of relaxation
Pyramidal system vs Extrapyramidal
P: direct motor activation pathway, voluntary movement, directly signals nerve cells in spine or brainstem (fast, skilled, conscious movements)
E: maintains posture and tone for voluntary movements, indirectly regulates LMN movement activity (slow, postural, reflexive movements)
Damage results in involuntary and bizarre movement disorders; indirectly regulates nerve cells in spine or brainstem
Both are motor pathways. E is called that to distinguish it from the pyramidal system that reaches target locations by traveling through the 'pyramids' of the medulla.
Extrapyramidal composition
Subcortical nuclei: red nucleus, substantia nigra, subthalamus, basal ganglia, and their pathways
Pyramidal system componenets
Projection fibers from cortex divide into:
Corticobulbar tract
Corticospinal tract [Show Less]
