Brain And Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Cerebrospinal fluid
In the subarachnoid space clear fluid nourishes the brain acts as a shock absorber and physical protection.
Blood brain barrier
Isolates the brain from many substances in the body that would normally gain access
Hydrocephalus
Water on the brain is damage to the anachmoid mater can be from head injury congenital or meningitis and bleeding in the brain
Order of cranial meninges
Dura mater
Anachmoid mater
Pia mater
Blood supply
Interanal corotid arteries
Vertebral arteries
Internal arteries
CSF
Is found in the lateral ventricles
CSF Flow
Through the lateral ventricles out to the meninges
Midbrain
Forms the brain stem
Pons
Act as a bridge on and off switch to the respiratory system regulates and directs the spinal cord
Medulla oblongata
Contains ascending and descending tracks organize, directs and run the diaphragm
Cerebellum
In the back of the brain second largest part of the brain
Glands attached to the hypothalamus
Epithalmus
Thalamus
Thalamus
Gets things to the proper part of the brain
Epithalamus
Secretes melatonin response to oder consist of the pineal gland
Decussation
Where the pyramids cross in the brain stem
Respiratory rhythmic center
Controls the rate and rhythm of breathing
Reticular activating system
Arranging sensory neurons to proper parts of the brain it’s inactive while sleep filtering out information
Convolutions /gyri
Groves and sulci on the brain going down ward
Cerebrum
Regulates posture equilibrium and balance
Frontal lobe
Behind the frontal bone executive functions self control planning reasoning abstract thoughts
Parietal lobe
Upper sides of the brain controls taste
Temporal lobe
Lower sides of the brain controls smell
Occipital lobe
Back of the head controls vision
Gray matter
Outside of the brain
White matter
Inside of the brain
Basal ganglia nuclei
Help regulate and protect muscle preventing unwanted movements
Limbic system
Emotion brain runs the emotions apart of the corpse collosum and cerebrum
Dopamine
Is a nuero transmitter
Parkinson’s disease
Lack of dopamine
Corpus collosum
Connects the left hemisphere to the right hemisphere
Right hemisphere
Is specialized for musical and artistic
Left hemisphere
Reasoning numerical and scientific skills sign language
Electroencephalogram
EEG electrical activities of the brain brain waves
Cranial nerve 1
Factor nerve
Controls smell
Cranial nerve 2
Optic nerve
Sense of sight
Cranial nerve 3
Ocular motor
Controls eyelid pupil ocular muscles
Cranial nerve 8
Vestibular cochlear
Controls hearing and balance
Cranial nerve 10
Vagus nerve
Controls automatic nervous system
Cranial nerve 12
Hypoglossal nerve
Controls the tongue
3 parts of the peripheral system
Somatic
Automatic
Eccentric
