Brain lab Flashcards
What acts as a relay station for sensory information?
The thalamus
What releases hormones to help with homeostasis?
the pituitary gland
The floor of the midbrain passageway for fibers from the cortex to the spinal cord and vice versa is called the:
Cerebral peduncles
Between the 3rd and 4th ventricle
cerebral aqueduct
Reflex to sight
superior colliculus
Response to sound
inferior colliculus
along the calcarine sulcus
visual cortex
Networks of blood capillaries in the walls of the ventricles that produce cerebrospinal fluid
choroid plexuses
A white matter tract carrying information between the hemispheres
corpus callosum
carries corticospinal fibers and also contains nuclei of cranial nerves
pons
the dura mater in the brain has two layers
periosteal layer
meningeal layer
which structures seen in a coronal section of the brain are all white matter
corpus callosum
cerebral peduncles
internal capsule
What four “landmarks” visible on the lateral side of the human brain define the lobes
lateral fissure
preoccipital notch
end of parieto-occipital sulcus
central sulcus
The symptoms displayed by a patient with damage to the supramarginal and angular gyri would be
unable to understand reading and writing

a) superior temporal gyrus
b) calcarine sulcus
c) midbrain
d) Broca’s area
e) the third ventricle
superior temporal gyrus
Which of the following landmarks does NOT serve as a boundary separating lobes of the human brain
a) Lateral fissure
b) Parieto-occipital sulcus
c) pre-occipital notch
