the crown, like a
headband

Question 7

Sagittal Slice

Answer 7

sideways blindfold
going down over the nose

Question 8

lateral

Answer 8

outside the brain on the
side; towards the side

Question 9

Medial

Answer 9

inside the brain on the side;
towards the middle

Question 10

spinal cord dorsal

Answer 10

Back (when start at the top
it leads to the back)

Question 11

spinal cord ventral

Answer 11

Front (when start at the
bottom it leads to the front)

Question 12

Dura

Answer 12

protective layer of the brain

Question 13

gyri

Answer 13

The crows of the folded tissue that one observes when viewing the surface

Question 14

sulci (fissure)

Answer 14

folds (Infoldings of the cortical sheet)

Question 15

tracts

Answer 15

bundles of axons

Question 16

gray matter

Answer 16

contains cell bodies of neurons and glia

Question 17

white matter

Answer 17

contains myelin and axon

Question 18

Cortico-cortico

Answer 18

goes from one area of the cortex to another

Question 19

Corticofugal

Answer 19

goes from the cortex to the periphery

Question 20

retrograde

Answer 20

• Diffuses up axon to cell body
• Backward in time

Question 21

anterograde

Answer 21

• Diffuses down from the cell body to the axon terminal
• Forward in time

Question 22

Cytoarchitectonics

Answer 22

• Staining cells/tissues with a particular color
• Found that the cortex has different layers (deep, middle, upper,
  and superficial)
• Found the layers have different densities
• Each different Brodmann region has different cognitive
  functions

Question 23

cortex

Answer 23

consists of gyri and sulci
- increases surface area
- they crumble up

Question 24

Central sulcus

Answer 24

Separates the frontal lobe
from the parietal lobe

Question 25

Lateral Sylvian fissure

Answer 25

Separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes

Question 26

Longitudinal fissures

Answer 26

Separates the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere

Question 27

Parieto-occipital sulcus

Answer 27

Separates the occipital
from the parietal and
temporal

Question 28

Ventricular System

Answer 28

Cerebral spinal fluid cushions the brain
- Allows for impact to do less
damage

Question 29

Motor Cortex (M1)

Answer 29

• Precentral gyrus is the site for primary motor cortex (in charge of movement)
• Frontal lobe –> Betz cell

Question 30

Somatosensory (S1) – parietal lobe

Answer 30

• Touch, pain, temperature, limb, proprioception
• Postcentral gyrus

Question 31

Limbic System

Answer 31

Function: emotional processing and plays a role in learning and memory

Question 32

basal ganglia

Answer 32

Function: Connect with motor regions to monitor motor behavior

Question 33

Thalamus

Answer 33

relays information

Question 34

Hypothalamus

Answer 34

homeostasis

Question 35

hippocampus

Answer 35

memory conversion

Question 36

Pons

Answer 36

auditory and vestibular functions

Question 37

Medulla

Answer 37

sensory motor functions, vestibular, motor control of face/mouth/throat/respiratory
system/heart
