QuestionAnswer
connects spinal cord to brain; integration of reflexes necessary for survival Brainstem
involved in control of locomotion, balance, posture, learning new movements Cerebellum
involved with higher order functions Diencephalon
4 parts of the diencephalon thalamus, subthalamus, epithalamus, hypothalamus
The telencephalon of a late embryo becomes the ____________ in an adult Cerebrum
The metencephalon of a late embryo becomes the ____________ and _________ in an adult Cerebellum and Pons
The myelencephalon of alate embryo beomes the ___________ in an adult Medulla oblongata
Regulates: heart rate, blood vessel diameter, respiration, swallowing, vomiting, hiccupping, coughing, and sneezing (Survival Functions) Medulla oblongata
Structure where descending nerve tracts on the anterior surface of the medulla oblongata decussate (cross) Pyramids
Nuclei within the medulla oblongata that help regulate balance, coordination, modulation of sound from inner ear Olives
Sleep and Respiratory Center Pons
Where are Pontine Nuclei found? Pons
involved in visual reflexes superior colliculi
involved in hearing reflexes inferior colliculi
associated with ordered volitional movement Substantia Nigra
Associated with superior colliculi, inferior colliculi, substantia nigra, and red nuclei Midbrain (Mesencephalon)
Group of nuclei scattered throughout brainstemthat controls cyclic activities such as the sleep-wake cycle Recticular Formation
Coordination and motor control Cerebellum
fiber tracts in the cerebellum that communicate with other parts of brain Cerebellar peduncles
Largest cells in the CNS that recieve 200,000 synapses and are inhibitory Purkinje cells
List the major cerebellar functions: Balance, eye movements, posture, locomotion, fine motor coordination, and learning complex movements
The "relay center" involved with motor functions, mood modification, emotion regulation, emotion regulation, and sensory integration Thalamus
Where is the Pineal Gland located? Epithalamus
Helps regulate the biological clock and influences sleepiness Pineal Gland
Part of the Epithalamus that produces emotional and visceral responces to odors Habenular Nucleus
List some of the general functions associated with the Hypothalamus Autonomic, endocrine, muscle control, temperature regulation, metabolism, emotions, sleep-wake cycle, sexual development.
between the precentral gyrus (primary motor cortex) and postcentral gyrus (primary somatic sensory cortex) Central sulcus

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
