Question
Answer
occipital lobe   vision; integrating primary vision with other senses  
🗑
insular lobe   visceral functions, integrates autonomic info, motormemory  
🗑
limbic system   motivation, sex drive, emotional behaviour, memory, affect  
🗑
hypothalamus   homeostasis  
🗑
hippocampal formation   memory (Alzheimer's)  
🗑
amygdala   emotions and drives  
🗑
basal ganglia   motor learning, control of motor skills  
🗑
commissural fibres   between hemispheres ex: corpus callosum  
🗑
association fibres   within a hemisphere ex: arcuate fasiculus  
🗑
projection fibres   between cerebrum and neuroaxis ex: uncuate fasiculus  
🗑
internal capsule   very important projection fibres  
🗑
thalamus   major sensory relay center, adds emotion to sensations; arousal, attention, sleep/wake cycles;all senses except smell stop here on the way to conscious awareness  
🗑
mamillary bodies   important for memory, easily damaged by alcohol  
🗑
pineal body   gonad development, produces melatonin  
🗑
hypothalamus   control center for autonomic NS, links NS to endocrine system  
🗑
subthalamus   relay station in sensory motor control of voluntary movements  
🗑
reticular formation   alertness, focus attention, monitors input to thalamus  
🗑
superior colliculi   vision; visual reflexes  
🗑
inferior colliculi   auditory; auditory reflexes  
🗑
substantia nigra   produces dopamine; damage here = Parkinson's  
🗑
oculomotor nerve   (m) lift the eyelid/control position of eyeball; pupil constriction  
🗑
basilar pons   relay between cortex and cerebellum; forms peduncles  
🗑
posterior pons   CN nuclei for trochlear(m), trigeminal(s/m), abducens(m)  
🗑
trochlear nerve   (m)moves eyeball down and out  
🗑
trigeminal nerve   (s)face, scalp, teeth, front 2/3 of tongue, soft palate (m)mandibular area  
🗑
abducens nerve   (m)moves eyeball inward  
🗑
facial nerve   (m)to striated muscles of facial expression(s)glands, taste buds, external ear & tympanic membrane  
🗑
vestibulocochlear nerve   (s)hearing and balance  
🗑
cerebellum   monitors skilled motor behaviour; corrects mismatches in muscle coordination  
🗑
archicerebellum   sense body position; balance  
🗑
paleocerebellum   posture; gross movement of limbs  
🗑
neocerebellum   precision of force, direction and extent of voluntary movements  
🗑
peduncles   carry fibres from one place to another  
🗑
olives   (gray matter) info about where body parts are in relation to themselves  
🗑
pyramidal decussation   80 - 85% of fibres cross over here  
🗑
glossopharyngeal nerve   (s)back 1/3 of tongue, tonsils, middle ear  
🗑
vagus nerve   (m)laryngeal muscles, smooth muscles(s)throat & ear, soft palate  
🗑
accessory nerve   (m)trapezius and sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
hypglossal nerve   (m)muscles of the tongue  
🗑
phrenic nerve   innervates the diaphragm (m) and (s)  
🗑
brachial plexus   C5 - T1 muscles and skin of chest and upper limbs  
🗑
lumbarsacral plexus   trunk and lower limbs  
🗑
receptors   detect and respond to changes in internal and external environment  
🗑
exteroreceptors   mediate sight/sound/smell/balance/touch  
🗑
proprioreceptors   deep body sensation; our body parts in relation to space and each other  
🗑
2-point discrimination   "tell me when you feel two pricks"  
🗑
stereognosis   ability to recognize object through touch alone  
🗑
reflex   behaviour that is not cortically mediated  
🗑
cortical override   consciously controlling reflexes  
🗑
corticobulbar tracts   from the cortex to the brain stem & vice-versa  
🗑
cervical plexus   C1, C2, C3, C4  
🗑


   

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.
