Limbic System and Limbic Circulatory Overview

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The principal effector elements of the limbic system are ?   * hypothalamus and the reticular formation  
🗑
Basic action of the Limbic System ?   *Provides emotions…..all sensory info filters in to limbic system and translates it to what we do autonomically  
🗑
Limbic functions ?   *HOME ---homeostasis, olfactory, memory, emotion  
🗑
Limbic inputs project to ?   * hypothalamus  
🗑
The informational flow into the hippocampal formation permits ?   * provides a link to past experiences (memory)  
🗑
Entry of information into the limbic system is either ?   * directly to the amygdala (fear), or indirectly to the hippocampal formation (memory), via the entorhinal area  
🗑
Limbic Structures that give rise to the the 4 main functions ?   *Homeostasis - hypothalamus *Olfactory - olfactory cortex *Memory - hippocampus *Emotions -amygdala  
🗑
The Limbic Cortex or Lobe forms a ring around ?   * callosum callosum and upper brainstem-diencephalic junction  
🗑
The Limbic lobe includes ?   *subcallosal area *cingulate gyrus and isthmus of the cingulated gyrus *parahippocampal gyrus *the uncus *The temporal pole *Orbital frontal gyri  
🗑
The hippocampus lines ?   * the lateral ventricle  
🗑
Limbic System Components ?   * Amygdala *Mammillary body -Anterior nucleus -Mediodorsal nucleus *Nucleus accumbens *Basal forebrain *Septal nuclei  
🗑
Produce ACh ?   *basal forebrain and septal nuclei  
🗑
The Papez Circuit ?   *hippocompal fibers --> fornix --> mammillary body --> mammillio-thalamic tract -->anterior thalamic nucleus --> cingulate gyrus --> hippocampus  
🗑
major output from hippocampal formation ?   * fornix  
🗑
limbic lobe info to hippocampal formation ?   * Cingulum  
🗑
The olfactory system is remarkable in four respects ?   *primary afferents occupy the surface epi, *The axons of the primary afferents enter the cerebral cortex directly, *primary afferent neurons undergo turnover, being replaced from basal stem cells, *The pathway to the cortical centers are ipsilateral  
🗑
The collective processes of these neurons form the olfactory nerve?   *Olfactory bipolar neurons  
🗑
supporting cells- maintain neurons ?   *Sustentacular cells  
🗑
maintain a continuous population of olfactory neurons – make new neurons ?   *basal cells  
🗑
The lateral olfactory stria terminates in ?   * the primary olfactory cortex  
🗑
links the olfactory cortical areas with the hypothalamus and brainstem ?   * The medial forebrain bundle -----* olfactory comples-->medial bundle-->hypothalamus/brainstem.....these trigger ANS responses such as salivation, and gastric contractions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
