5.6 Organization of Nervous System Flashcards
Produces myelin
Glial cells
Glial cells in the CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Glial cells in the PNS
Schwann cells
Number of pairs of spinal nerves and cranial nerves
31 and 12
Collection of nerve cell bodies in the CNS
Nuclei
Collection of nerve cell bodies in the PNS
Ganglion
Matter which represents predominantly the myelinated axons or nerve fibers
White matter
Matter which represents nerve cell bodies without myelin sheath
Gray matter
Nerve fibers with common origin and termination
Tracts
3 major parts of brain and their subdivisions
Forebrain-cerebrum, diencephalonMidbrainHindbrain-pons, cerebellum, medulla oblongata
Separates frontal from parietal lobes
Central sulcus of rolando
Separates temporal from frontal and parietal lobe
Lateral fissure of sylvius
Lobe that is revealed upon separation of lateral sulcus
Insular lobe
Gyrus at dorsal and ventral area of limbic lobe
Cingulate gyrus and Parahippocampal gyrus
Primary motor cortex and location
BA 4
Precentral gyrus
Brodman’s area: Primary somatosensory cortex and location
BA 3,1,2
Postcentral gyrus
Brodman’s area: Primary auditory cortex and location
BA 41,42
Anterior transverse temporal gyrus
Brodman’s area: Premotor association area
BA 6
Anterior to precentral gyrus
Brodman’s area: Visual association area and location
18, 19
Around calcarine area
Brodman’s area: Motor speech area (broca) and location
44,45
Inferior frontal gyrus
Brodman’s area: Auditory association area (wernicke) and location
22
Posterior part of superior temporal gyrus
Functions as a relay center and is the largest part of diencephalon
Thalamus
White matter which covers the thalamus superiorly and laterally
Stratum zonale
External medullary lamina
Divides thalamus into 3 parts
Internal medullary lamina
