Biology concept taught by Dr Shaksshi
The session reviewed the cerebellum's structure, function, and connections to different parts of the body. The Student learned about the three lobes and tracts of the cerebellum and their associated nuclei, and how these structures contribute to balance, posture, and fine motor control. The Student will complete a multiple-choice practice test focusing on the session's material.
Vestibulocerebellum and Balance
Cerebellar Ataxia
Cerebrocerebellum: Fine Motor Control and Planning
Spinocerebellum: Sensory Feedback
Cerebellar Nuclei
Cerebellar Lobes and Tracts
Cerebellum: Overall Function
The session reviewed the cerebellum's structure and function, with a focus on its afferent and efferent pathways, as well as the cerebellar loops (vestibulocerebellar, spinocerebellar, and cerebrocerebellar). The Student had some confusion about the organization of the loops and nuclei, so the Tutor clarified these concepts. The next session will continue working on these concepts.
Cerebellar Anatomy: Lobes
Hemispheres
and Vermis
Cerebellar Loops: Vestibulo-
Spino-
and Cerebro-cerebellar
Deep Cerebellar Nuclei: Dentate
Interposed
The class covered the anatomy and function of the basal ganglia, including the direct and indirect pathways, and the role of specific neurotransmitters. The student learned how these pathways influence movement and how their dysfunction leads to movement disorders like Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. The tutor used diagrams and examples to explain the concepts, and tested the student's understanding with questions about neurotransmitters and pathway components.
Neurotransmitters in the Basal Ganglia
Basil Ganglia: Anatomy and Divisions
Substantia Nigra: Regulatory Role
Indirect Pathway: Mechanism
Direct Pathway: Mechanism
Direct and Indirect Pathways: An Overview
Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Disease
The session reviewed the muscles of the abdomen and their functions, followed by an in-depth exploration of the hip bone's components and their anatomical features. The student practiced identifying these structures and their relationships. The Tutor scheduled a comprehensive exam covering all topics, including a focus on the lower limb, to mimic the student's university exam format.
Pubis Bone and Obturator Foramen
Ischium Bone Features: Ramus and Tuberosity
Ilium Bone Markings: Spines and Crest
Hip Bone Composition: Ilium
Ischium
and Pubis
Abdominal Muscle Function: Visceral Organ Support
Anatomical Terminology: Rectus
The Tutor and Student discussed the vertebral column and its various regions, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal vertebrae. They worked on identifying the different types of vertebrae and understanding their unique features. The session concluded with a discussion of ligaments of the vertebral column and muscles of the shoulder.
Vertebral Column Overview
Regions of the Vertebral Column
Vertebral Anatomy
Ligaments of the Vertebral Column
Intervertebral Discs
Shoulder Anatomy: Scapular Muscles
Thoracic Wall Muscles
The Student and Tutor reviewed the anatomy of the forearm, hand, and arm, including muscles and ligaments. The Student practiced identifying muscles and their functions using diagrams. The session concluded with a discussion of the scapula and its features, and the tutor assigned homework focusing on completing topics 14-18.
Forearm Extensor Compartment
Muscles of the Hand: Thenar and Hypothenar Eminences
Muscles of the Arm: Anterior and Posterior Compartments
Ligaments of the Elbow and Wrist
Anatomy of the Scapula: Surfaces
