Question
Answer
middle of three layers (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord   arachnoid mater  
🗑
part of the brain that controls balance and muscle coordination; located inferior to the cerebrum   cerebellum  
🗑
channel connecting the third and fourth ventricles and containing CSF   cerebral aquaduct  
🗑
network of capillaries located in the roof of ventricles; contributes to production of CSF   Choroids Plexus  
🗑
large band of nervous tissue that connects the two cerebral hemispheres   corpus callosum  
🗑
outer portion of cerebrum   cortex  
🗑
region of the brain made up of the thalamus and hypothalamus   diencephalon  
🗑
tough connective tissue layer that serves as the outer layer of the meninges   dura mater  
🗑
areas of the brain and spinal cord containing cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons; found in the cerebral cortex of the brain and inner portion of the spinal cord   gray matter  
🗑
folds of the cerebral cortex   gyri  
🗑
a region below the lateral ventricles; involved with emotional states and converting short term memory to long-term memory   hippocampus  
🗑
pituitary gland; controls a number of endocrine glands   hypophysis  
🗑
part of the diencephalon; inferior to the thalamus and responsible for regulation and maintenance of internal homeostasis by controlling body temp, appetite, fluid balance, etc.   hypothalamus  
🗑
the most inferior portion of the brain stem; contains centers for heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Also contains reflex centers controlling coughing, sneezing, hiccuping, etc.   medulla

crossing point of the optic nerves   optic chiasma  
🗑
innermost of the meninges layers   pia mater  
🗑
endocrine gland located in the roof of the third ventricle; secretes melatonin   pineal body  
🗑
anterior to the medulla; contains nerve tracts that connect the cerebellum with other parts of the brain and spinal cord   pons  
🗑
grooves between gyri of the brain   sulci  
🗑
part of the diencephalon, superior to hypothalamus; serves as a sensory relay center.   thalamus  
🗑
one of four cavities in the brain filled with CSF   ventricle  
🗑
bundles of myelinated axons within the brain and spinal cord; found in the inner portions of the cerebrum and outer regions of the spinal cord   white matter  
🗑
