brain

Question 1

what is in the hindbrain

Answer 1

Medulla oblongota, cerebellum and pons

Question 2

what nerves come from medulla oblongota?

whats its function

Answer 2

CN’s 9-12

• HR
• respiration

Question 3

whats cerebellum function

Answer 3

motor coordination, cognitive functions- temporal coordination and planning

Question 4

what nerves come from pons

Answer 4

cranial nerves V, VI, VII, VIII

Question 5

what nerves come from midbrain

Answer 5

III and IV

Question 6

whats in the midbrain

Answer 6

• cerebral peduncles (fibers connecting forebrain to hindbrain- descending axons of upper motor neurons)
• corpora quadrigemina ( superior colliculi= visual tracking, coordination of head turning and eye movements, and inferior colliculi = sound location, focusing attention to auditory stimuli)
• substantia nigra (makes dopamine, damaged in parkinsons)

Question 7

whats in the forebrain

Answer 7

• thalamus
• hypothalamus
• basal nuclei (basal ganglia)– fornix at top of caudate nucleus
• amygdala (at tail of caudate nucleus but not part of the basal ganglia)
• hippocampus (right before amygdala)

Question 8

whats the thalamus do

Answer 8

-sensory relay for all afferents EXCEPT olfaction

Question 9

whats the hypothalamus do

Answer 9

regulation

• body temp
• hunger
• thirst
• sexual activity
• endocrine
• visceral motor systems

Question 10

whats the basal nuclei

Answer 10

part of forebreain
-collection of deep brain structures- modulate and integrate components of motor activity and cognitive functions. system depends on dopamine- affected by parkinsons disease

-caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus – slide 14

Question 11

whats the amygdala function

Answer 11

lies at tail of caudate nucleus, not part of it tho functionally
-control of rage, aggression and sexuality

Question 12

whats the hippocampus function

Answer 12

formation of new memories involvement, specifically episodic memories.

Question 13

where are the primary motor/sensory cortexs?

Answer 13

primary motor is in the prefrontal cortex next to the central sulcus

Question 14

where is the primary sensory cortex

Answer 14

next to central sulcus, in the parietal lobe

Question 15

which lobes are the auditory and visual cortex in?

Answer 15

auditory= lateral of temporal lobe

visual=posterior area occipital lobe

Question 16

where is the primary gustatory and olfactory corteses

Answer 16

gustatory= in insula, buried in cortex by other lobes

olfactory=medial of temporal lobe

Question 17

which hemisphere is language in ? brocas/wernickes?

Answer 17

only in left for 96% of right handed people, and 72% of left handed people

brocas area is in frontal lobe (MOTOR speech)
wernickes area is in temporal and parietal lobes (Language interpretation)

Question 18

where do the nerves enter out from (1-12)

Answer 18

I olfactory = cribriform plate
II optic = optic canal
III oculomotor = superior orbital fissure
IV trochlear = superior orbital fissure
V trigeminal = v1-superior orbital fissure, v2 = foramen rotundum, v3 = foramen ovale
VI abducens = superior orbital fissure
VII facial = internal auditory meatus 
VIII vestibulocochlear = internal auditory meatus
IX  glossopharyngeal = jugular foramen
X vagus. = jugular foramen
XI accessory = jugular foramen
XII hypoglossal = hypoglossal canal
