23
Q

Limbic system is comprised of:

A

Hypothalamus
Thalamus
Hippocampus
Amygdala

24
Q

Role of hypothalamus

A

appetite, hunger and thirst, water balance, circadian rhythms, body temp, libido, hormonal regulation

25
Q

role of thalamus

A

sensory relay station (except smell), regulates emotion, memory, affect

26
Q

role of hippocampus

A

memory: short term to long-term memory

27
Q

role of amygdala

A

mediates mood, fear, emotion, aggression; connects smell with emotion

28
Q

basil ganglia/corpus striatum

A

Primary motor control
problems lead to bradykinesia, hyperkinesia, dystonia

maintains equilibrium

A

cerebellum

33
Q

depolarization

A

sodium and calcium flow into cell; begin action potential; excitatory

34
