what two parts make up the mesencephalon
midbrain
cerebral aqeuduct
what three parts make up the metencephalon
upper 4th ventricle
pons
cerebellum
what part of the spinal cord is this

thoracic
what makes up brocca’s area
pars triangularis
pars opercularis
function of occipital lobe
integrating and processing visual stimuli
what two parts make up the myelencephalon
medulla
lower fourth ventricle
label:
- fourth ventricle
- medial leminiscus
- cerebrospinal fasiculus
- trigeminal n.


Label:
- superior colliculus
- spinothalamic tract
- medial leminiscus
- red nucleus
- crus cerebri
- root fibers of CN III
- substantia niagra


function of corpus callosum
integrates motor, sensory, and helps both hemispheres communicate
describe the gyri of the insular lobe
the caudal gyri are long
the rostral gyri are short
- gyri run superior/inferior
- short and long gyri are separated by central sulcus
label:
- cuneate tubercle
- gracile tubercle
- fasciculus gracilis
- fasciculus cuneatus
- tubere cinerum


what are the parts of the white matter of the spinal cord
anterior funiculus
lateral funiculus
posterior funiculus
function of paracentral lobule
motor and sensory of contralateral lower extremity
label the blue arrows


function of cingulate gyrus
part of limbic system
memory and learning
compare cervical and thoracic spinal cord segments
cervical: oval, large anterior and posterior horns
thoracic: round, small anterior and posterior horns
label:
- posterior median sulcus
- posterior intermediate septum
- posterior lateral sulcus
- anterior grey column
- anterior median fissure


what makes up the primary motor cortex
precentral gyrus + anterior paracentral gyrus
what makes up the primary auditory association cortex
transverse temporal gyri
function of parietal lobe
sensory and association
label


function of temporal lobe
processing and interpretation of auditory stimuli, memory, and organizing/comprehending language
label


what makes up the inferior lobule of the parietal lobe
supramarginal gyrus + angular gyrus + superior temporal gyrus
(Wernicke’s area)
what gyrus controls frontal eye fields
middle frontal gyrus
how is the spinal cord attached laterally and caudally
laterally: by denticulate ligaments
caudally: by filum terminale
what two parts make up the telencephalon
cerebral hemisphere
lateral ventricle
what segment of the spinal cord is this

lumbar
label the brainstem
