a&p cns Flashcards
It is the largest part of the brain,
and it controls motor, cognitive, as well as sensory function.
CEREBRUM
Cerebrum is divided into two:
LEFT AND RIGHT HEMISPHERE
Left and Right Hemispheres are connected through:
Corpus Callosum
It controls the right side of the body.
LEFT HEMISPHERE
It controls the left side of the body
RIGHT HEMISPHERE
It is found within the cerebrum; the outer layer of the cerebrum and is made up of gray matter.
CEREBRAL CORTEX
It is located underneath the cortex
SUBCORTICAL STRUCTURES
What are the Subcortical Structures
HYPOTHALAMUS
PITUITARY GLAND
BASAL GANGLIA
etc.
These structures are important for memory, emotion, pleasure, as well as hormone production.
SUBCORTICAL STRUCTURES
In this system, we talk at length about the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland because they produce a number of hormones, which are important in
the body.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
It contains the motor cortex.
FRONTAL LOBE
It controls memory, speech and language, personality, as well as decision-making
FRONTAL LOBE
It is essential for speech function.
BROCA’s AREA
It contains the sensory cortex and is essential for interpreting signals related to things such as touch, position, pain, as well as temperature.
PARIETAL LOBE
It contains the visual cortex and is essential for visual processing and interpretation.
OCCIPITAL LOBE
It contains the auditory cortex and is essential for hearing and recognizing language.
TEMPORAL LOBE
It is essential for the comprehension of verbal and written language.
WERNICKE’s AREA
It is located at the back of the brain underneath the occipital and temporal lobes and is essential for coordinating muscle movements as well as maintaining posture and balance.
CEREBELLUM
It is essential for regulating autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion.
It also facilitates communication between the cerebrum and cerebellum and the spinal cord.
BRAIN STEM
The CNS consists of the:
BRAIN
SPINAL CORD
It plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions, including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory.
BRAIN
It is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
BRAIN
3 Major Parts of the Brain
CEREBRUM
BRAINSTEM
CEREBELLUM
It is the largest and uppermost part of the brain.
It controlled the highest intellectual abilities of human being.
CERREBRUM
The Cerebrum is composed of:
CEREBRAL CORTEX
CEREBRAL MEDULLA
BASAL GANGLIA
Continuous from the cerebrum to the spinal cord. It controls body functions under conscious control.
BRAINSTEM
Brainstem is composed of:
THALAMUS
HYPOTHALAMUS
PONS
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
It has 3 vital centers.
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
What are Medulla Oblongata’s vital centers
CARDIAC (HEART)
VASOMOTOR (BLOOD PRESSURE)
RESPIRATORY (BREATHING)
It is located behind the brainstem, beneath the cerebrum.
CEREBELLUM
Cerebellum is composed of:
RETICULAR FORMATION
LIMBIC SYSTEM
