A

posterior pituitary

22
Q

posterior commissure separates what 2 structures

A

pineal gland

superior colliculus

23
Q

function of the mammillary bodies

A

recollective memory

24
Q

where does CN 3 (oculomotor) exit specifically

A

-interpeduncular fossa between the cerebral peduncles of the mesencephalon (mid brain)

25
Q

what part of the brain is the medial and lateral geniculate bodies apart of

A

diencephalon

26
Q

what is the function of the superior and inferior colliculus on the posterior mescenphalon (superior brainstem)

A

superior: receives visual information from the lateral geniculate body
inferior: sends auditory information to the medial geniculate body (part of ascending auditory path)

27
Q

what ventricle is located about the rhomboid fossa

A

4th ventricle

28
Q

what separates the pons and medullary parts of the rhomboid fossa

A

the stria medullaris acoustica

29
Q

what separates the facial colliculus and the vestibular area of the rhomboid fossa

A

the sulcus limitans

30
Q

what is the 2 parts of the pons

A
  1. basilar pons (more anterior; has descending cortical tracts)
  2. tegmentum pons (more posterior)
31
Q

Where does cortical spinal tracts split into anterior and lateral parts

A

at the pyramidal decussation (oblique crossing of the tracts on the pyramids)

32
Q

where does the rhomboid fossa come together inferiorly on the posterior aspect

A

obex

33
Q

function of the tubercular cuneatous

A 
ascending tract (sensory) for proprioceptive and tactile information of the contralateral upper extremity 
(sends info to the CNS)
34
Q

what is responsible for motor learning

A

inferior olivary nuclear complex

35
Q

where do you do a lumbar puncture

A

b/t: L3/L4

or L4/L5

36
Q

where does the spinal cord begin

A

foramen magnum

37
Q

spinal cord is attached laterally by _____ and causally by ____

A

lateral - denticulate Ligaments (pia matter than connect SC to lateral dura matter)

caudal- filum terminale (internum @ S2 and externum @ coccyx)

38
Q

after the spinal cord ends it becomes

A

spinal cord–> conus medullaris –> cauda equina

39
Q

where does the fasiculus cuneatus start? where on the spinal cord is it? what does it do? and what separates it from the gracilis in the spinal cord?

A

starts at T6
lateral part of the posterior funiculus of white matter
upper extremity
separated by the posterior intermediate sulcus (which also starts at T6 and only seen in upper thoracic and cervical spinal cord)

*fasiculus gracilis ascends from lumbar and does LE

40
Q

where do dorsal (sensory) roots enter the spinal cord

A

posterolateral sulcus

41
Q

what is located in the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord ? what’s its function?

43
Q

what part of the spinal cord holds the spinal thalamic tract and the anterolateral system

A

lateral funiculus (white matter)

44
Q

where are preganglionic SNS neurons located in the spinal cord

A

thoracic
-lateral horn
(protrusion of the lateral funiculus)

45
Q

posterior horn as what lamina ? anterior? intermediate?

A

posterior: lamina 1-6
intermediate: 7
anterior: 8-9

*10 in center

46
Q

what nuclei are associated with lamina located in the posterior horn

A

9- accessory nucleus

9- phrenic nucleus
