supramarginal and angular gyri
language processing
superior temporal gyrus
wernice’s area
transverse temporal gyri (Heschl’s gyri)
primary auditory cortex
V1
calcarine sulcus
primary somasensory cortex
postcentral gyrus
primary motor cortex
precentral gyrus
inferior frontal gyrus
broca’s area
cingulate gyrus
involved in emotion formation and processing, learning, and memory
uncus
sense of smell
parahippocampal gyrus?
united with cingulate gyrus at a
surrounds the hippocampus, role in memory encoding and retrieval
a: isthmus
insula
taste, visceral sensation, emotional aspects of pain
epithalamus
includes pineal body- functions related to circadian rhythm
brainstem functions
-Cranial nerve function
- Regulation of cardiac and respiratory function
-regulates CNS
-Maintains consciousness
-Regulates sleep cycle
craial fossae
the frontal lobe sits in the anterior
cranial fossa; the temporal lobe sits in the
middle cranial fossa; the cerebellum sits in
the posterior cranial fossa
The potential space between the endosteal dura and skull is the
extradural or
epidural space.
The potential space between the meningeal dura and the arachnoid is the
subdural space
describe how blood is returned to the internal jugular vein from the
brain.
- The superior sagittal sinus arises in the roof of the falx cerebri
- The inferior sagittal sinus arises in the inferior free edge of the falx cerebri and joins the deeply placed great cerebral vein (of Galen) to form the straight sinus
- The straight sinus courses through the midline of the tentorium cerebelli before uniting with the superior sagittal sinus and the small occipital sinus at the confluence of sinuses
- The confluence of sinuses drains into the two transverse sinuses (left and right), which run lateralward and forward in the attached margin of the tentorium cerebelli
