B7-090 Gross Brain Lab Intro Flashcards
which lobe has a primarily motor function?
frontal
which lobe has a primarily sensory function?
parietal
divides the occipital lobe from the parietal
parieto-occipital sulcus
what differentiates the layers of the cerebral cortex?
number and type of neurons in each layer
layer of the cortex that receives information
4, internal granular
would be larger in sensory areas, lots of info coming in
layer of the cortex that sends information to the periphery
5, ganglionic layer
this will be larger in the motor cortex, lots of info going out
what layer of the cortex would you expect to be largest in a primary motor center?
5
what layer of the cortex would you expect to be largest in a primary sensory center?
4
divides the frontal lobe from the parietal
central sulcus
the central sulcus lies between the […] and [..] gyrus
precentral (primary motor cotex)
postcentral (primary somatosensory cortex)
divides the temporal lobe from the rest of the brain
sylvian fissure
broca’s area is located in the […] lobe
frontal
production of speech
broca’s
understanding of speech
wernicke’s
wernicke’s is located in the […] lobe
temporal
what layer of the cortex would you expect to be largest in a cortical association center?
3
fiber bundle that connects the right and left hemispheres
corpus callosum
sits on top of the corpus callosum
important role in learning and memory
cingulate gyrus
the gyri on either side of the […] represent primary visual cortex
calcarine sulcus
parts of diencephalon [3]
thalamus
hypothalamus
pineal gland (unpaired gland)
components of brainstem [3]
midbrain
pons
medulla
functions in maintaining balance, smooth movements
cerebellum
periaqueductal gray surrounds the […]
cerebral aqueduct
posterior circulation arises from
vertebral arteries
anterior circulation arises from
internal carotids
links the vessels in the posterior circulation to the anterior circulation
circle of Willis
blood vessels that supply midbrain [2]
posterior cerebral
superior cerebellar
what cranial nerve goes through the medulla?
hypoglossal XII
