Question
Answer
The central nervous system consists of the ___ and ___   brain, spinal cord  
🗑
5 Lobes of the Cerebral Hemispheres   1) Frontal 2) Parietal 3) Temporal 4) Occipital 5) Insula  
🗑
The 4 Motor Areas   1) Precentral Gyrus 2) Premotor Cortex 3) Frontal Eye Field 4) Broca's Area  
🗑
Three Parts of Diencephalon   Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Epithalamus  
🗑
3 Parts of Brain Stem, superior to inferior   1) Midbrain, Pons, Medulla Oblongata  
🗑
8 Sensory Areas of the Cerebral Cortex   1) Primary somatosensory cortex 2) Somatosensory Association cortex 3) Visual cortex 4) Auditory cortex 5) Olfactory cortex 6) Vestibular cortex 7) Gustatory cortex 8) Visceral sensory cortex  
🗑
Primary Visual Cortex   - extreme posterior tip of occipital lobe; receives visual information from retinas  
🗑
Olfactory Cortex   Region of conscious awareness of odors  
🗑
Primary Somatosensory cortex   In the post central gyrus; receives sensory informatin from the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints  
🗑
Vestibular Cortex   Resposible for conscious awareness of balance (position of the head in space)  
🗑
Gustatory Cortex   In the insula; involved in the perception of taste  
🗑
Auditory Complex   Stores memories of sounds and permits perception of sounds; interprets information from inner ear as pitch, loudness, and location.  
🗑
Visceral Sensory cortex   Conscious perception of visceral sensations, e.g upset stomach or full bladder  
🗑
The ___ matter of the spinal cord is made of ____ fibers responsible for communication between cells   white, myelinated  
🗑
_____ connect ____ matter of the two hemispheres. The fibers cross in the _____ from one side to another.   Commisures, gray, corpus callosum  
🗑
_____ fibers connect different parts of the ___ hemisphere.   Association, same  
🗑
____ fibers connect the cortex (upper part) with lower parts of the ____ or the ____   Projection, brain, spinal cord  
🗑
The ____ system is our emotional or _____ brain.   Limbic, affective  
🗑
The _____ is the part of the central nervous system below the _____ of the skull. It has two enlargements created by neuron and axons that serve upper (_____ enlargement) and lower limbs (_____ enlargement).   spinal cord, foramen magnum, cervical, lumbar  
🗑
Its lower end is called ____ _____. The _____ is fibrous extension that anchors the spinal cord to the ____. It is also secured by the _____, extensions of the pia mater to the dura mater.   conus medullaris, filum terminale, coccyx, denticulate ligaments  
🗑
The ____ are membranes that cover and protect the brain and blood vessels, enclose venous sinuses, and form partitions in the skull. They have 3 layers:   meninges  
🗑
The _____ is the strongest meninx. It has two layers, one that is attached to the bone (___ layer) and a deeper _____ layer that continues below the foramen magnum as the dura mater of the spinal cord.   dura mater, periosteal, meningeal  
🗑
The middle layer is separated from the dura by the _____ space. It has web like extensions that lead to it being named ______.   ?, arachnoid matter  
🗑
The innerpost ______ is a delicate membrane that clings tightly to the brain   pia matter  
🗑
2 Dural folds:   falx cerebri, tentorium cellubi  
🗑
The _____ runs from the _____ in front along the ________ between the two cerebral hemispheres. The much smaller ______ runs along the ____ of the cerebellum and the ______ is a tent-like structure that separates cerebrum and cerebellum.   falx cerebri, crista galli, longitudinal fissure, falx cerebelli, vermis, tentorium cerebelli  
🗑
