Question
Answer
The Brain   Gives rise to all motor fibers; receives all sensory information, including all interneurons  
🗑
The Medulla Oblongata   lowest part of the brainstem - continuous with the spinal cord - and sits in anterior part of posterior cranial fossa  
🗑
"Pyramids" of the Medulla Oblongata   On the ventral surface- these are corticospinal tracts from the cerebral cortex and they decussate (cross) in the lower medulla  
🗑
Cranial nerves that Arise from the Medulla   Last four (CN 9-12) arise from the medulla  
🗑
The Pons   Sits in the anterior part of the posterior cranial fossa  
🗑
Cranial nerves that arise from the Pons   CN 5-8 exit here, also part of the CN 9 Nuclei  
🗑
Functions of the Pons   Contains respiratory centers that work with medulla to regulate respiratory movements  
🗑
Functions of the Medulla Oblongata   Cardiac and respiratory rhythmiticity centers for autonomic control of heart rate/ contractile strength and voluntary control of respiration  
🗑
Midbrain   (aka mesencephalon) smallest region of the brainstem, located just above the pons  
🗑
Substantia Nigra   located between peduncles and tegentum, involved in maintaining muscle tone and coordinating movements  
🗑
Cranial Nerves of the Midbrain   CN 3&4 and also part of CN 5  
🗑
reticular formation   specific system within the entire brain stem, receives a lot of sensory information, particularly from the head and face  
🗑
The Cerebellum   located behind the brain stem, known as the little brain  
🗑
3 parts of the Cerebellum   lateral cerebellar hemispheres, Vermis, Flocculonodular lobe  
🗑
Lateral cerebellar Hemispheres   moostly work with frontal lobe of cerebrum  
🗑
Functions of the Cerebellum   Helps to guide the contraction of voluntary mucles through its impact on lower CNS motor neurons and i conjunction with cerebral cortex motor outflow  
🗑
Damage to the Cerebellum Results in:   Disturbance of voluntary movement, balance, equilibrium and posture  
🗑
The Diencephalon   above the brain stem  
🗑
Regions of the Diencephalon   Thalamus, Subthalamus, Epithalamus, Hypothalamus  
🗑
Cranial Nerves of the Diencephalon   CN 2, only cranial nerves of this region  
🗑
The Thalamus   Largest part of the diencephalon, all sensory information, influences mood and actions associated with strong emotions  
🗑
The Subthalamus   Small area inferior to thalamus, contains several motor and sensory tracts, involved in controlling motor function  
🗑
The Epithalamus   Small area superior and posterior to thalamus, contains pineal gland and habenula  
🗑
Pineal Gland   has some influence on the sleep-wake cycle and biorhythms  
🗑
Habenula   Influenced by our sense of smell and involved with viscreral and emotional response to odors  
🗑
The Hypothalamus   Houses the pituitary gland, Controls heart rate, urine release, movement of food through intestine, regulates temperature, large emotional control, sexual development  
🗑
The Cerebrum   Highest brain area, Has 2 hemispheres that are separated by a longitudinal fissure.  
🗑
Gyri   Folds in the Cerebrum  
🗑
Sulci   Grooves in the Cerebrum  
🗑
Longitudinal Fissure   The cleft between the 2 hemispheres in the Cerebrum  
🗑
Basal Nuclei   Within the White matter, plays a part in motor control  
🗑
Lobes of the Cerebrum   Frontal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe  
🗑
The Dura-Mater   The 2 layered Outermost Layer, very sensitive to pain  
🗑
The Outer Dural Layer   Provides a tubular dural sheath for the cranial nerves as they exit through the foramina (small openings) in the skull  
🗑
The Internal Dural Layer   The internal meninge is attached more firmly to the floor of the cranial fossae than the skullcap.  
🗑
Tentorial Compartment   The tentorium cerebelli exists here, a horizontal fold that extends between the cerebral hemispheres and the cerebellum  
🗑
Subtentorial Compartment   The falx cerebelli exists here to seperate the hemispheres of the cerebellum but does not extend deeply  
🗑
Supratentorial Compartment   The falx cerebri exists, deeply dividing the cerebral hemispheres in the longitudinal fissure  
🗑
Dural Septa   extensions medially of dura that limit excessive movement of the brain within the cranium. They divide the cranial cavity into 3 communicating compartments  
🗑
The Arachnoid Mater   Delicate membrane that does not invest into all the fissures of the brain, but simply passes over the sulci  
🗑
The Subarachnoid space   The space below the Arachnoid Mater, where CSF is found  
🗑
The Pia Mater   Very thin inner layer that follows the brain surface exactly. The subarachnoid space above the pia is highly vascularized  
🗑
Cerebrospinal Fluid   fluid that is formed in the ventricular system f the brain. Provides a protective cushion around the CNS and provide some nutrients to CNS tissues  
🗑
CSF FLow   Formation within the Choroids Plexuses in each ventricle, through the interventricular foramen through 3rd and 4th ventricle. Goes through the subarachnoid space to the arachnoid granulations.  
🗑
Venous Sinuses   venous channels between the internal and external dura seen primarily along attachments of dural septa  
🗑
Cranial Nerves   12 pairs, all arise from the brain and brainstem, Dorsal and Ventral Roots are not seen with Cranial Nerves  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 1   Olfactory Nerve; Sensory only, smell  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 2   Optic Nerve; sensory only, vision  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 3   Oculomotor Nerve; Motor Only, movement of the eye and parasympathetic to cause pupil constriction and accommodation  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 4   Trochlear Nerve; Motor only, Movement of the eye (superior oblique muscle)  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 5   Trigeminal Nerve; Motor and sensory, Sensory to the face, movement of the muscles of mastification  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 6   Abducens Nerve; Motor Only, Movement of the eye (lateral Rectus Muscle)  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 7   Facial Nerve; Motor and Sensory, taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, Movement of the muscles of facial expressium, some parasympathetic innervation of glands of the face  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 8   Vestibulochochlear Nerve; Sensory, hearing and balance/equilibrium  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 9   Glossopharyngeal Nerve; Motor and Sensory, taste to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, Pharyngeal muscle, parasympathetic innervation to the parotid glands  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 10   Vagus Nerve; Motor and sensory, Senses from pharyn and larynx, all thoracic and abdominal viscera, Motor to soft palate, pharynx, laryngeal muscles  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 11   Spinal Accessory; Motor Only; Movements of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles  
🗑
Cranial Nerve 12   Hypoglossal nerve; Motor only, movements of the tongue and throat muscles  
🗑
