Question
Answer
four main components of the brain   show
🗑
show divided into right and left halves called cerebral hemispheres  
🗑
corpus collusum   show
🗑
show in the cerebrum, myelinated axons that cross from one hemisphere to the other  
🗑
show frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe  
🗑
show large folds in the cerebrum  
🗑
sulci   show
🗑
show really deep groove that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe  
🗑
show seperates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe  
🗑
show seperates the occipital from the parietal lobe  
🗑
show seperates the right and left hemisphere of the cerebrum  
🗑
show on the corpus collosum and the anterior commisure -- myelinated axons connect the right and left hemispheres  
🗑
show axons that link the lower structures of the CNS , runs tracts superior to anterior  
🗑
show mostly cell bodies, located in the cerebral cortex and the basal nuclei  
🗑
show most superficial layer of the cerebrum,  
🗑
show motor, sensory, and association  
🗑
sensory functional areas of cerebral cortex   show
🗑
show receives information concerning general sensations such as touch, pain, pressure, itch and temperature-- info from left side of body goes to right somatosensory cortex and vise versa  
🗑
show receives impulses conveying visual infromation such as shape, light, color, movement  
🗑
show receives information concerning taste  
🗑
show receives information concerning smell  
🗑
show receives information concerning sound  
🗑
show controls voluntary muscle movements, primary motor cortex, broca's area  
🗑
primary motor cortex   show
🗑
show located in LEFT frontal lobe, controls production of speech  
🗑
association areas   show
🗑
somatosensory association cortex   show
🗑
premotor cortex   show
🗑
show allows you to recognize and put meaning to what you are looking at  
🗑
show interprets the meaning behind speech  
🗑
basal ganglia   show
🗑
show overactive basal ganglia  
🗑
show decreased function of basal ganglia  
🗑
show area around the diencephalon, deep within the cerebrum. involves the motor part of emotions and facilitates long term memory in hippocampus  
🗑
show inferior to the cerebrum- thought of as the core of the brain  
🗑
three areas of the diencephalon   show
🗑
show relays sensory info to the basal ganglia, and cerbral cortex, relays visual info to the occipital lobe, **smell does not go through thalamus first  
🗑
hypothalamus   show
🗑
show back of the birds head. -- contains the pineal gland  
🗑
pineal gland   show
🗑
brain stem   show
🗑
show midbrain, pons and medulla  
🗑
show involves auditory and visual reflexes, such as alertness-- part of the brain that caffeine affects  
🗑
show relays motor information from the cerebrum to the cerebellum-- controls respiration  
🗑
medulla   show
🗑
show controls posture and balance, fine tunes movements, alcohol affects this part of the brain  
🗑
show loss of muscle coordination  
🗑
Meninges   show
🗑
show dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater  
🗑
show thickest strongest meninge, main function is to drain blood  
🗑
dural sinuses (aka venous sinus)   show
🗑
show very thin and looks like spider webbing over the brain  
🗑
show the innermost later, cannot be peeled off  
🗑
meninge spaces   show
🗑
epidural space   show
🗑
show bleeding in the epidural space  
🗑
hematoma   show
🗑
subdural space   show
🗑
show REAL SPACE between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater-- contains cerebralspinal fluid  
🗑
show clear colorless liquid that contains oxygen, glucose, proteins,lactic acid, and small ions- aways found in the subarachnoid space  
🗑
function of CSF   show
🗑
show where the CSF is produced, lines the ventricles  
🗑
show produces the CFS and lines the capillaries,blood capillaries, distribute the blood  
🗑
ventricles   show
🗑
four ventricles in the brain   show
🗑
show on each side of the hemisphere  
🗑
third ventricle   show
🗑
fourth ventricle   show
🗑
show where the CFS is dumped to be reabsorbed  
🗑
