What are the three layers of the meninges?

A

dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater

34
Q

What is located in between the arachnoid and pia mater?

A

the subarachnoid space

35
Q

What is the leptomenengies?

A

the arachnoid and pia mater combined

36
Q

What is the falx cerebri?

A

the layer of meninges located in between the two hemispheres

37
Q

What is the tentorium cerebelli?

A

the layer of meninges located in between the cerebrum and the cerebellum

38
Q

What is the dorsal sagittal sinus?

A

it is where the falx cerebri of noth the right and left meed

39
Q

What circulates in the dorsal saggital sinus?

A

cerebrospinal fluid

40
Q

What is the rhinencephalon for?

41
Q

Which cranial nerve is for olfaction?

A

CN I - olfactory nerve

42
Q

What is the origin of the olfactory nerve?

A

olfactory cells of the olfactory epithelium

43
Q

Where do the olfactory axons terminate?

A

in the olfactory bulb

44
Q

What is the olfactory tract?

A

the communication between the olfactory bulb and the piriform lobe

45
Q

What are the derivatives of the diencephalon?

A

thalamus, epithalamus, and hypothalamus

46
Q

What is the epithalamus also known as?

A

the pineal gland

47
Q

What is the pineal gland?

A

an endocrine structure that releases melatonin in response to darkness

48
Q

Where is the pineal gland located?

A

caudodorsal to the thalamus

49
Q

What is the hypothalamus made up of?

A

multiple nuclei

50
Q

What is the hypophysis?

A

the pituitary

51
Q

What is the thalamus made up of?

A

a group of bilateral nuclei

52
Q

What does the thalamus do?

A

integrates sensory and motor information

53
Q

What nuclei are located in the thalamus?

A

lateral and medial geniculate nuclei

54
Q

What type of information is associated with the lateral geniculate nuclei?

A

visual information - it gets it form the retina

55
Q

What type of information is associated with the medial geniculate nuclei?

A

auditory information - motor, somatic, and visceral

56
Q

When sending information to the brain, what does everything stop at?

A

the thalamus

57
Q

What are the only signals that bypass the thalamus to get to the cortex?

A

olfactory signals

58
Q

What is the origin of the optic nerve?

A

axons of retinal ganglion cells

59
Q

What does the optic nerve do?

A

carries visual information from the eye to the lateral geniculate nucleus

60
Q

Information from the right eye goes to which side of the brain?

A

the left and right side

61
Q

What tests can you do check the function of the optic nerve?

A

pupillary light reflex, visual reflex, and the menace response

62
Q

What is a direct response to the pupillary light reflex?

A

pupil constriction of the eye that the light is directly shone in

63
Q

What is the indirect response to the pupillary light reflex?

A

pupil constriction of the eye that the light is not shone in

64
Q

How should an animal respond when using the visual reflex test?

A

they should turn their head towards the thing in their peripheral vision
