Central Nervous System Location And Function Flashcards
Which lobe is the blue section and what does it do?
Frontal lobe - voluntary movement, reasoning, problem solving, emotions, speech production
Which lobe is the yellow section and what does it do?
Parietal lobe - sensory information like touch, temp, pain, perception
Which lobe is the green section?
Temporal lobe - auditory processing and memory
Which lobe is in the pink section and what does it do?
Occipital - visual processing
What part of the diencephalon is this and what does it do?
Hypothalamus - regulates automatic functions like temp, hunger, thirst, circadian rhythm.
What part of the diencephalon is this and what does it do?
Epithalamus - contains pineal gland, which secretes melatonin and regulates sleep-wake cycles
What part of the diencephalon is this and what does it do?
Thalamus - acts as a relay station for sensory information and directs it
What is this part of the brain and what does it do?
Putamen -involved in motor control and learning
What is this part of the brain and what does it do?
Globus Pallidus - regulates voluntary movement and muscle tone
What is this potion of the brain and what does it do?
Caudate nucleus - involved in motor processes and associative learning
What is this part of the brain stem and what is its function?
Midbrain - controls eye movement, auditory, and visual reflexes
What is this part of the brain stem and what is its function?
Pons - relays signals between cerebrum and cerebellum, regulates breathing
What is this part of the brain stem and what is its function?
Medulla oblongata - automatic functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate
Which ventricle is this and what is its function?
Lateral ventricle - produces cerebrospinal fluid CSF
Which ventricle is this and what is its function?
Third ventricle - also produces CSF
Which ventricle is this and what is its function?
Fourth ventricle - helps form the central canal
What part of the brain is this and what does it do?
Cerebellum - Controls balance, posture, and coordination of involuntary movement
What is this part of the spinal cord and what does it do?
Cauda Equina - spinal nerves that provide innervatation to the lower limbs and organs
Of the Meninges, which is the outer layer and what does it do?
Dura Mater: The tough, outermost layer that provides protection.
Of the Meninges, which is the middle layer and what does it do?
Arachnoid Mater: The middle, web-like layer that contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space.
Of the Meninges, which is the inner layer(closest to brain) and what does it do?
Pia Mater: The delicate, innermost layer that adheres directly to the surface of the brain and spinal cord.
