2.1 Anatomy of the BRAIN Flashcards
BRAIN and BRAIN STEM are PROTECTED by
CRANIUM
SPINAL CORD PROTECTED by
VERTEBRAL BODIES
CNS RESPONSIBLE for..
INTEGRATING, PROCESSING & COORDINATION SENSORY data and MOTOR commands
& Higher functions - INTELLIGENCE, MEMORY, LEARNING, EMOTION
Brain is made up of 2 CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES SEPARATED by a …
LONGITUDINAL FISSURE
BRAIN SURFACE is made up of GROOVES or FISSURES called a..
SULCUS
(sulci plural)
the RIDGES that stick out on the BRAIN SURFACE are called a..
GYRUS
(gyri plural)
LOBES of the BRAIN:
(named in relation to bones)
- FRONTAL LOBE
- PARIETAL LOBE
- OCCIPITAL LOBE
- TEMPORAL LOBE
CENTRAL SULCUS is found between which LOBES
FRONTAL and PARIETAL lobes
(goes across the top)
what FISSURE SEPARATES the TEMPORAL LOBE from the FRONTAL and PARIETAL
LATERAL FISSURE
(on lateral sides)
what are the FUNCIONAL AREAS of the BRAIN
the GYRUS (ridges)
what is RESPONSIBLE for MOTOR COMMANDS
PRE-CENTRAL GYRUS
SUPERIOR (front) surface is called…
ROSTRAL
POSTERIOR (top of brain) surface is called..
DORSAL
INFERIOR (lower back of the brain) surface is called
CAUDAL
ANTERIOR (bottom) surface is called
VENTRAL
what CONTAINS the PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX
PRE-CENTRAL GYRUS
what is the HIGHEST LEVEL in the brain for MOVEMENT CONTROL
PRE-CENTRAL GYRUS
SPEECH PRODUCTION controlled by which ‘AREA’ in brain and which LOBE is this in
BROCA’S AREA
- FRONTAL LOBE
COMPREHENSION/UNDERSTANDING of SPEECH is controlled by which ‘AREA’ in the brain and which LOBE(S) is this in
WERNICKE’S AREA
- PARIETAL and OCCIPITAL lobes
PRIMARY SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX for SENSATION is found where
in POST CENTRAL GYRUS (posterior)
TOUCH, PRESSURE, PAIN, TEMPERATURE are controlled by …
in which lobe?
PRIMARY SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX of the POST-CENTRAL GYRUS
- PARIETAL LOBE
AUDITORY CORTEX is in which LOBE
TEMPORAL LOBE
HEARING ASSOCIATION AREA is on which LOBE
TEMPORAL LOBE
PRIMARY VISUAL AREA and VISUAL ASSOCIATION AREA (secondary visual) are found on which LOBE
OCCIPITAL LOBE
SPEECH PRODUCTION controlled by which LOBE
FRONTAL LOBE - BROCA’S AREA
