| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| voluntary motor function, motivation, aggression, sense of smell, mood | Frontal Lobe |
| reception and evaluation of sensory information except smell, hearing, and vision | Parietal Lobe |
| reception and integration of visual input | Occipital Lobe |
| reception and evaluation for smell and hearing; memory, abstract thought, judgment. Insula is within | Temporal Lobe |
| Nuclei associated with motor function control and Parkinson's Disease | Basal Nuclei |
| where is CSF produced | Choroid Plexus |
| True or False: The brain requires insulin | False |
| Cranial nerve associated with special sense of smell | Olfactory |
| Cranial nerve associated with special sense of vision | Optic |
| Cranial nerve associated with the sphincter of the pupil and ciliary muscle of the lens | Oculomotor |
| Two cranial nerves associated with external eye muscles | Trochlear and Abducent |
| List the three branches of the Trigeminal Nerve | Opthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular |
| Cranial nerve associated with sensory, motor, sympathetic and parasympathetic functions | Trigeminal |
| Cranial nerve associated with special sense of taste, facial expressions, salivary glands, lacrimal glands and nasal cavity | Facial |
| Cranial nerve associated with special senses of hearing and balance | Vestibulocochlear |
| Cranial nerve associated with taste, pharynx, tonsils, swallowing, and salivary glands. | Glossopharyngeal |
| The "wandering nerve" with sensory, motor, and parasympathetic functions | Vagus |
| Cranial nerve associated with the muscles of the neck | Accessory |
| Cranial nerve associated with tongue muscles | Hypoglossal |
