Question | Answer |
what are the 4 cavities of the brain that contain and form CSF | ventricles |
what is in front of the medulla and helps regulate respiration | pons |
this connects the cerebral hemispheres | corpus callosum |
this regulates visual & auditory reflexes, encloses the cerebral aqueducts & maintains equilibrium | midbrain |
this coordinates voluntary movement, regulates muscle tone & equilibrium | cerebellum |
this integrates sensation before relaying them to the cerebral cortex and suppresses unimportant sensations | thalamus |
this regulates accessory movement | basal ganglia |
this regulates production of antidiuretic hormone & oxytocin, body temp & body rhythms | hypothalamus |
this helps regulate heart rate & respiration, coughing, swallowing & BP | medulla |
this is responsible for thinking & memories | cerebrum |
this part of the lobe covers general sensory areas for taste and overlaps the temporal lobes | parietal lobe |
this lobe area contains the visual areas | occipital lobe |
this lobe area has the auditory and olfactory area | temporal lobe |
this lobe area initiates impulses for voluntary movement and motor speech | frontal lobe |
these neurons carry impulses from receptors to the CNS and are called afferent neurons | sensory neurons |
these neurons carry impulses from CNS to effectors & are called efferent neurons | motor neurons |
these neurons are found only in the CNS | interneurons |
these nerves contain both sensory & motor neurons | mixed nerves |
this is a group neurons that have a similar function within the CNS | nerve tracts |
