12.2 Flashcards
What are the three parts of the brain stem
midbrain
pons and
medulla oblongata
cephalic
head
comprised of grey matter and its relay station is between cerebrum and spinal cord
thalamus
integration center for autonomic nervous system
hypothalamus
master regulator of endocrine system
hypothalamus
regulates body temp, hunger/thirst, reproductive hormones, sleep cycle, visceral motor functions
hypothalamus
secretes the hormone melatonin which promotes sleep
pineal
what produces sleep
melatonin
location of substantia nigra and dopaminergic neurons
midbrain
pons
bridge
What are the two parts of pons
superficial axons
deep nuclei
cardio
hearts
pulmo
lungs
regulates cardiopulmonary function of breathing, heart rate and vasodilation
medulla oblongata
propriou
own
cerebellum(vocab
little cerebrem
responsible for pain and motor
thalmus
purkinje cells and motor coordination and balance
cerebellum
what are the 4 main brain regions
cerebrum
diencephalon
brain stem
cerbellum
what are the three parts of the diencephalon
thalamus, hypothalamus, pineal gland
what are the three parts of the brain stem
midbrain, pons, medulla
cortical relay station
thalamus
regulation of endocrine processes
hypothalamus
relay center between cerebrum and cerebellum
pons
contains substantia nigra, motor function
midbrain
cardiopulmonary regulation
medulla
motor coordination
cerebellum
limbic
rim
whats the limbic system do
emotions
wheres the limbic system
cerebrum, diencephalon
multimodel association area of the temporal lobe
amygdala
involved in fear and depression and modulated by serotonin
amygdala
where is the reticular formation
brain stem
what filters out banal/unimportant stimuli, directs attention and mental focus
reticular formation
EEG
measures sleep and stages
which two parts control circadian rhythms
hypothalamus, epithalamus
breathing stops during sleep
apnea
narco
numb
somnus
sleep
Subventricular zone is..
where neural stem cells are
meninx
membrane
aracke
spider
dura
though/ hard
pia
gentle
mater
mother
funiculus
little rope
committere
juncture/ joining
