Question
Answer
Diencephalon   1. forms center core of forebrain 2. Three parts: Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalimus  
🗑
Coronal Section   1. Formed by thalamus and hypothalamus 2. borders 3rd ventricle 3. made mostly of grey matter  
🗑
Thalamus   1. GATEWAY TO CEREBRAL CORTEX 2. makes up 80% of diencephalon 3. every part of brain that communicates with cerebral cortex must relay its signal through a nucleus of thalamus 4. has many nuclei that send axons out through the cerebral cortex  
🗑
Hypothalamus   1. lies below the thalamus 2. dozen nuclei like thalamus 3. in charge of visceral sense (hunger, body temperature, emotions etc. 4. PITUITARY GLAND  
🗑
Pituitary gland   1. Controls secretion of HORMONES -part of hypothalamus that projects inferiorly from hypothalamus -anterior and posterior parts  
🗑
Epithalamus   1. most dorsal part of diencephalon 2. contains only ONE nuclei 3. PINEAL GLAND  
🗑
Pineal Gland   1. part of epithalamus that produce melatonin by influence of hypothalamus 2. helps regulate sleep-wake cycls  
🗑
Brain Stem   1. produces automatic behavior necessary for survival 2. Passageway for ALL FIBER TRACTS running between cerebrum and spinal cord  
🗑
Brain Stem 3 parts   1. Midbrain 2. Pons 3. Medulla Oblongata  
🗑
Midbrain   1. most superior structure of brain stem  
🗑
Midbrain seven parts   1. Periaqueductal Gray Matter 2. Cerebral Peduncles 3. Superior Cerebellar Peduncles 4. Corpora quadrigemina of tectum 5. Substantia Nigra 6. Red nucleus  
🗑
Periaqueductal Grey Matter   1. Part of Midbrain of brainstem 2. related to fight/flight reaction  
🗑
Corpora quadrigeminaof tectum   1. Two parts: Superior Colliculi and Inferior Colliculi  
🗑
Superior Colliculi   part of Corpora quadrigeminaof tectum of midbrain of brainstem that is responsbile for visual reflexes  
🗑
Inferior Colliculi   part of Corpora quadrigeminaof tectum of midbrain of brainstem that are responsible for reflexes to sound  
🗑
Substantia Nigra   degradation of this is linked to Parkinson's disease  
🗑
Pons   1. under midbrain in brainstem 2. above medulla oblongata 3. Pontine Nucleus 4. Contains nuclei of Cranial Nerves 5-7  
🗑
Middle cerebellar peduncle   -connects pons to cerebellum  
🗑
Medulla Oblangata   -continuous with spinal cord at forament magnum -contains cerebral nerves 8-12  
🗑
Medulla Oblangata 3 Parts   1. Pyramids of Medulla 2. Reticular Formation 3. Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
