brain Flashcards
the fissure that seperates the cerebral hemispheres is called
median longitudinal cerebral fissure
cerebral hemispheres consists of
outer grey matter
white matter
inner grey matter ( basal nuclei)
lateral ventricle
what are teh 3 surfaces of each cerebral hemispheres
medial , inferior , superolateral
cerebral hemispheres general appearnce
gyri folds
sulci and fissures
to increase the surfacd area
lobes of each cerebral hemisphere
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
central sulcus (main sulci)
betwee the frontal and parital lobes
it seperates teh primary motor cortex ( pre central gyrus) and teh primary somatosensory cortex ( post central gyrus)
parietooccipital sulcus
divides teh occipial and parital
lateral sulcus
divides teh temporal form the frontal and pariteal
calcrine sulcus
reaches teh occipital pole
cingulate gyrus journey
begins beneath teh anterior part of corpus callosum and contionues above it until it reaches its posteriro end
the cingulate gyrus lies between
callosal sulcus and teh cingulate sulcus
broadmann has how many regions
52
the three functional areas of the cortex
sensory, motot and asscoiation
sensory area description
primary sensory area ( post central gyrius)
secondary sensory area
motor area description
primary motor area ( precentral gyrus)
seconadary motor area ,supplementary motor area
association areas description
integrate information
sensatuons and relate to past experience
brain sends nerve impusles to motor areas to ellicit a response
frontal lobe functional areas
primary motor area, premotor area, frontal visual field, motor area of broca, prefrontal cortex
primary motor area descriotion
broadmans area number 4 , occupies teh precentral gyrus and functions in excecuting motor movement
premotor area descriptiom
broadmans area number 6 function skillful ovemnt or programming of movement
