Cerebrum Flashcards
Provides the sensory, motor, and integrative functions of consciousness.
Cerebrum
Consists of the thalamus, hypothalamus, pineal gland, and mammillary bodies.
Diencephalon
Consist of the pons, medulla oblongata, and midbrain.
Brainstem
Helps control balance, posture, and fine motor coordination by comparing intention with motor performance.
Cerebellum
The grayfish-white, semi-transparent rough membrane encapsulating the brain
Dura mater
The middle meningeal membrane
Arachnoid mater
The innermost transparent membrane that adheres to the convolutions of the brain
Pia mater
The right and left cerebral hemispheres are separated by the _____ along a midsagittal line.
Longitudinal fissure
The surface of the cerebrum contains deep grooves
fissures
Shallow grooves
Sulci
Elevations _____ project between sulci.
Gyri
The wrinkling effect of sulci and gyri drastically increases the between sulci.
Cerebral cortex
The part of the cerebral hemisphere anterior to the cruciate fissure.
Frontal lobe
the area posterior to the central sulcus
Parietal lobe
The line of separation from the more posteriorly placed ______ is difficult to see in the sheep brain
Occipital Lobe
The sheep brain is portly developed and difficult to distinguish from the parietal lobe.
Temporal lobe
The deep within the lateral fissure between the temporal and frontal lobes.
Insula
Lie in the superior to the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and receive fibers from neurons in the olfactory in the epithelia lining the nasal cavities.
Olfactory bulbs
the flat ______ lie on the ventral surface of the brain and project to the olfactory portions of the brain.
Olfactory tracts
Where the nerve fibers from the medial aspect of each eye cross over to the opposite side.
Optic chiasma
Ventral side of the brain (Pea-sized)
Pituitary gland
A thin stalk that connects the body of the pituitary to the hypothalamus.
Infundibulum
