Q

What does the CNS do?

A

the CNS integrates and is the control center, it interprets sensory input and dictates sensory outputs. Also, it integrates signals performs high cognitive functions

Q

What is the PNS

A

the peripheral nervous system includes the cranial nerves, spinal services, ganglia (connect to CNS to peripheral organs), there are two types sensory and motor

Q

What are neurons?

A

Are excitable cells that transmit electrical signals, for communication via synapses and is the basic functional unit of the nervous system

Q

What are the major regions of the brain?

A

LABEL

Q

What is the cerebrum?

A

Cerebrum, the largest and uppermost portion of the brain. The cerebrum consists of the cerebral hemispheres and accounts for two-thirds of the total weight of the brain. One hemisphere, usually the left, is functionally dominant, controlling language and speech. The other hemisphere interprets visual and spatial information.

Q

What is the central sulcus?

A

Separates the frontal and parietal lobes

17
Q

what are the hemispheres separated by?

A

Left and right hemispheres are separated by the longitudinal fissure (LABEL)

18
Q

What are gyri?

A

they are the elevated regions of the fissures (ridges)

19
Q

What are sulci?

A

Shallow grooves (depressions)

20
Q

What are fissures?

A

they are deep grooves, elongated clefts

21
Q

What matter is found in the cerebrum?

A

Grey matter is found superficially, white matter is found in the deep lobes

22
Q

Label and define the frontal lobe

A

It is the primary motor area (for voluntary movement) it is for planning and execution

23
Q

Lable and define the parietal lobe

A

it is the primary somatosensory area (proprioception), it is where the information is received and the brain decides what to do with the information

24
Q

Label and define the temporal lobe

A

The temporal lobe is the primary auditory cortex (hearing)

25
Q

Lable and define the occipital lobe

A

The occipital lobe is the primary visual cortex for seeing

26
Q

What are the functions of the cerebrum?

A

sensation, conscious thought intellect, memory, and complex movements

27
Q

What are the 3 regions of the cerebral hemisphere

A

Each hemisphere has 3 primary regions

1) Cerebral Cortext( outer grey matter)
2) internal white matter
3) Basal nuclei (grey matter located deep within the white matter)

28
Q

what does each hemisphere do?

A

Each hemisphere receives and sends information from the contralateral side of the body (the other side)

29
Q

The cerebral cortex has 3 types of functional areas, what are they?

A

1) Motor areas
2) sensory areas
3) Association areas

30
Q

What do motor areas do?

A

They control voluntary movement

31
Q

what do the sensory areas do?

A

They are conscious awareness of sensation

32
Q

What do the association areas do?

A

They have multiple outputs and inputs (relay stations that connect the motor and sensory areas)

33
Q

What is lateralization?

A

The lateralization of brain function is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The medial longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.
