Nervous system #2

Cranial Nerves and Parts of the brain

QuestionAnswer
Frontal Lobe conscious, abstract thought (imagination), memory, behavior, voluntary motor mvmt.
Temporal Lobe Hearing, smell, learning, memory, language
Occipital Lobe Vision
Pariental Lobe general senses, taste, spatial perception
Broca's area generate motor program to produce speech
What can happen if Broca's area gets damaged ? slow speech, cant generate words although you understand what is being said
Prefrontal cortex associated with mood, motivation, planning, personality, decision making, judgement, emotional control
Olfactory association area involved in smell
Primary somesthetic cortex / pariental lobe receives sensory input like touch, contralateral( cross ea. other)
How do the primary somesthetic cortex and the somesthetic association area work together ? one receives and the other interprets
Primary gustatory cortex taste
Wernicke area recognition of spoken and writing language
What happens if your Wernicke's area gets damaged ? use words that don't make sense, don't understand words or identify written words or pictures
Sensory Homunculus map of sensory input, size is processing power (sensitivity) ex: hand and face is more cortex b/c bigger in pic
Primary motor cortex / frontal lobe control voluntary motor activity, controls muscles on contralateral side
Motor Homunculus map of motor output, size is proportional to motor control, higher size = fine motor control
Left hemisphere “Categorical hemisphere” Analytical reasoning + science and math
Right hemisphere “Representational hemisphere” Imagination, artistic ability, patters and spatial relationships
Basal nuclei Gray matter, motor control specifically repetitive movements like walking and learned behavior like writing
Associated tracts Same hemisphere, link perception with memory Ex: rose
Commissural tracts Connect 2 hemisphere, horizontal
Projection tracts Vertical tracts, connects cerebellum to the rest of the body from brain to spinal cord and vis versa
Superior colliculus Vision
Thalamus "relay station" receives sensory information and relays motor messages within brain
Hypothalamus (master control center --> ANS + endocrine system) involved in maintaining homeostasis (ex: hunger and thirst)
Pineal gland (epithalamus) secrets melatonin role in regulating cardiac rhythms like sleep/wake cycle
Cerebellum motor control, coordination, balance and posture (10% of brain mass but 50% of neurons)
Inferior colliculus hearing
Pons sleep control and respiration control
Medulla Oblongata 4 centers ( cardiac center, vasomotor center/blood pressure, respiratory center and reflexes)
How many cranial nerves ? 12
Olfactory (I) smell (sensory)
Optic (II) Vision/ innervates retina ( sensory)
Oculomotor (III) eye movement, focusing, pupillary contraction, 4 eye muscles (motor)
Trochlear (IV) eye movement (motor)
Trigeminal (V) Both, most important in face and 3 branches s: face m: controls muscles of the mastication
Abducens (VI) lateral eye movement (motor) innervates lateral rectus
Facial (VII) Both s: taste m: controls muscles of facial expression, glandular, secretion of tears, saliva and mucus
Vestibulocochlear (VIII) Hearing and equilibrium innervates inner ear (sensory)
Glossopharyngeal (IX) Both s: taste, tongue m: salivation, swallowing and gargling
Vagus (X) Both, branches to many systems, "wondering nerve" s: taste and GI sensation m: swallowing, speech ,lungs ,heart and GI tract
Accessory (XI) innervates muscles for swallowing and head, neck ,shoulder movement unique b/c it has roots in brain and spinal cord (motor)
Hypoglossal (XII) (motor) tongue movement
Cervical enlargement (C3-T2), nerves- upper extremities
Lumbar enlargement (T9-T12), nerves to lower extremities
Cauda equina "horse tail" nerves that emerge from ends of spinal cord

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.
