Q

telencephalon

A

cerebrum (= two hemispheres)

Q

diencephalon

A

thalamus

- hypothalamus

Q

mesencephalon

A

midbrain

Q

myencephalon

A

medulla oblongata

Q

metencephalon

A

little brain (=cerebellum)

Q

lumbure puncture

A

to extract spinal fluid

- between L3 and L4

Q

gray matter

A

in spinal butterfly structure

Q

white matter

A

neurons

- surround gray matter

Q

pia mater

A

inner membrane

- weaker

Q

dura mater

A

outer membrane

- stronger

Q

afferent

A

sensory

- to the brain

Q

efferent

A

motor

- to the body

Q

cerebellum and brain stem function

A

motor control
timing
balance

Q

thalamus

A

main relay center for senses

Q

hypothalamus

A

ANS control
four Fs
hormone secretion of pituitary

Q

basal ganglia

A

motor control
motor learning (w/ hippocampus)
three nuclei

Q

central sulcus

A

seperates frontal and parietal

- coronally

Q

Brodmann areas

A

52

- based on morphology and density of cells

Q

primary cortices

A

motor, somatosenory, auditory, visual

Q

association cortices

A

motor somatosensory, auditory, visual

Q

ventricular system

A

CSF
shock absorption
weight reduction

Q

cerebral aqueduct

A

produces CSF

- damage leads to hydroencephalus

Q

CSF

A

= cerebrospinal fluid

Q

arachnoid granulations

A

in supereior saggital sinus

- remove CSF

Q

superior saggital sinus

A

location of arachnoid granulations

- removing CSF

Q

three nuclei of basal ganglia

A

caudate nucleus
globus pallidus
putamen
