Axial–Limbic Brain Flashcards
Reticular Formation
Regulates sleep and wake states and coordinates sensory and motor systems for speech, swallowing, and eye-body movements
Autonomic Nervous System regulatory functions
digestion, hear rate, salivation, perspiration, breathing, swallowing
Sympathetic Nervous system
responsible for mobilizing vital organs in fight or flight situations
Parasympathetic Nervous System
restores metabolic resting state promoting relaxation and growth
Parasympathetic cranial nerves
CN III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (Vagus) 3, 7, 9, 10
parasympathetic and sympathetic controlled by
hypothalamus
Limbic System outputs
hypothalamus, thalamus, and reticular formation
Limbic System regulates
regulates motivation, learning and memory. Hippocampus is a key structure
Stimulation of the amygdala and hypothalamus
could cause rage reaction
limbic and axial
concerned with visceral and unconscious behaviors
Limbic lobe connects
connects the thinking/cortical brain to the axial/nonthinking brain
