| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brainstem | connects spinal cord to brain; integration of reflexes necessary for survival |
| Cerebellum: | involved in control of locomotion, balance, posture. the Ability to walk and talk is controlled here. Eye Movement, and plan and practice movements. Located at the level of the pons posterior to the brain stem. Communicates with other parts of the brain. |
| Cerebrum: | conscious thought, control |
| Brainstem: Medulla Oblongata | Most inferior part Continuous with spinal cord; has both ascending and descending nerve tracts |
| Brainstem: Medulla Oblongata | Discrete nuclei in internal gray matter Regulates: heart rate, blood vessel diameter, respiration, swallowing, vomiting, hiccupping, coughing, and sneezing |
| Pyramids: | descending nerve tracts on the anterior surface. Inferiorly fibers decussate; thus each half of the brain controls the opposite half of the body |
| Olives: | rounded; protrude from anterior surface. Nuclei within help regulate balance, coordination, modulation of sound from inner ear |
| Brainstem: Pons | Fiber tracts: ascending and descending Nuclei, involved in sleep and respiration. |
| Brainstem: Midbrain | mesencephalon |
| Brainstem: Midbrain (Tectum) | four nuclei that form mounds on dorsal surface of midbrain. Corpora quadrigemina |
| Reticular Formation AKA Reticular Activating System | Group of nuclei scattered throughout brainstem Controls cyclic activities such as sleep-wake cycle |
| Cerebellum | Attached to brainstem posterior to pons |

| Inferior Colliculi | Control Auditory control in the midbrain |
| (Thalamus) | Surrounded by third ventricle and involed mainly in relaying sensory and motor stimuli. Auditory, mood, taste, vision, etc. except olfaction. |
| Subthalamus( focus on components of it and what their functions are.) | Involved in controlling motor function Contains subthalamic nuclei, parts of red nuclei(unconcious control of movement) and substantia nigra(involved in ordered movment-parkinsons). |
| Epithalamus-Pineal gland | may influence sleepiness, helps regulate biological clock, may play a role in onset of puberty |
| Epithalamus-Habenular nucleus | emotional and visceral responses to odors |
| Central sulcus: | between the precentral gyrus (primary motor cortex) and postcentral gyrus (primary somatic sensory cortex) |
| Frontal lobe: | voluntary motor function, motivation, aggression, sense of smell, mood |
| Parietal lobe: | reception and evaluation of sensory information except smell, hearing, and vision |
| Occipital lobe: | reception and integration of visual input |
| Temporal lobe: | reception and evaluation for smell and hearing; memory, abstract thought, judgment. Insula is within. |
| Association fibers: | connections within the same hemisphere of the cerebral cortex |
| Commissural fibers: | connect one hemisphere of the cerebrum to the other |
| Projection fibers: | tracts between the cerebrum and other parts of the brain and spinal cord |
| Basal Nuclei | Found in the cerebrum, diencephalon, and midbrain. Motor function control. Very important in organizing voluntary actions and thus they are important in motor control |
| Limbic System | Part of cerebrum and diencephalon,Basic survival functions such as memory, reproduction, nutrition,Emotions |
| Fourth ventricle: | associated with pons and medulla oblongata.Connected to third ventricle by the cerebral aqueduct, continuous with the spinal cord, and connected to the subarachnoid space by the lateral and medial apertures |
| Lateral ventricles: | within cerebral hemispheres; separated by septa pellucida |
| Third ventricle: | within diencephalon |
| Interventricular foramina | join lateral ventricles with third |
| Choroid plexuses | produce CSF which fills ventricles and other parts of brain and spinal cord Composed of ependymal cells, their support tissue, and associated blood vessels |
| Blood Supply to the brain | Receives blood through arteries: internal carotids and vertebral arteries. The vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery. Carotids plus basilar form the cerebral arterial circle (Circle of Willis). brain requires 15-20% of blood flow constantly. |
| Thalamus | Sensory relay center of the brain |
| Fourth ventricle | Ventricle that is Associated with the pons and the medulla oblongata. |
| Cerebral aqueduct | connects the third and fourth ventricle. Is continuous with the spinal cord and connected to the subarachnoid space the lateral and medial apertures. |
| Olfactory Nerve: | CN1 SENSORY-Smell does not synapse in the thalamus goes straight to the cerebral cortex |
| Optic Nerve: | CN2 Sensory- Vision |
| Oculomotor Nerve: | CN3 Involved in motor(4 muscles)& Proprioception and Parasympathetic (pupil dialation & accomodation[ciliary muscles]) |
| Trochlear Nerve: | CN 4 Motor to superior oblique and proprioception. |
| Trigeminal Nerve branches: | CN5 Ophthalmic branch, Maxillary Branch, Mandibular branch |
| Functional organization of the Trigeminal nerve: | Sensory (face,scalp, mouth(palate etc.) ANT 2/3 of tongue. Motor/proprioception- Muscles of mastication. para and sympathetic innervations |
| Abducent nerve: | CN6 Motor/ proprioception to the lateral rectus. |
| Facial Nerve: | CN7 Sense of taste to the Ant 2/3 of tongue, motor/proprioception to the muscles of facial expression and PS to glands (Sub mandib and sub lingual, lacrimal etc. |
| Vestibulocochlear Nerve: | CN 8 Sensory- Hearing and balance. |
| Glossopharyngeal Nerve: | CN9 Taste to the Post 1/3 of tongue. sensory to pharynx, etc. Motor to the pharyngeal muscle plus proprioception. PS to the parotid salivary gland |
| Vagus Nerve: | Cn 10 Sensroy to core starting with inferior pharynx, Motor to core, and PS to visceral organs. |
| Accessory Nerve: | CN 11 motor to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius |
| Hypoglossal Nerve : | CN 12 motor to intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles and proprioception. |
