Ch 11-2: Electric Boogaloo Flashcards
Cerebrum
Largest region of the brain
-Frontal lobe
-Parietal lobe
-Occipital lobe
-Temporal lobe
-Insula
Diencephalon
Between the cerebrum and the midbrain
-Contains the thalamus and hypothalamus
Cerebellum
Posterior and inferior to the cerebrum, it contains the most neurons
-Monitors body movements
-Balance, coordination, posture
-Evaluates sensory input
-Helps muscle groups work together
Parts of the brain stem
-Midbrain
-Pons
-Medulla oblongata
Gyri
Ridges on the brain
Sulci
Grooves on the brain
Longitudinal fissure
Deep groove that divides cerebrum into left and right
Corpus callosum
Connects left and right hemisphere
Where is gray matter found
-On the surface of the brain
-In patches in the white matter
-Posterior and anterior horns of the spinal cord
Where is white matter found
-Underneath the cerebral cortex
-Surrounding the gray matter in the spinal cord
Two layers of Dura Mater
-Periosteal layer (outer)
-Meningeal layer (inner)
Dural sinuses
Collects blood that needs to be returned to the heart
Subdural space
Separates the Dura from the arachnoid Mater
Subarachnoid space
Separates the arachnoid Mater from the Pia mater
How many cervical nerves
Eight
How many thoracic nerves
12
How many lumbar nerves
Five
How many sacral nerves
Five
How many coccygeal nerves
One
How many pairs of spinal nerves
31
Cervical plexus
C1-C4
Brachial plexus
C5-T1
Lumbar plexus
L1-L4
Sacral plexus
L5-S4
Lateral ventricles
Arch through the cerebral hemispheres and contains cerebrospinal fluid
Third ventricle
Where the lateral ventricles empty
Fourth ventricle
Receives cerebrospinal fluid from third ventricle and Narrows to form the central canal through the spinal cord
Brain stem consist of
-Thalamus
-Pons
-Medulla oblongata
-Spinal cord
Midbrain
-Tracts that relay sensory and motor
-Centres for auditory and visual reflexes
-Clusters of neurons integral to muscle control
Pons
Contains tracts that convey signals to and from different parts of the brain
Medulla oblongata
-Cardiac centre
-Vasomotor centre
-Two respiratory centres
Thalamus
-Processes sensory input and decides
-Memory and emotion
Hypothalamus
-Maintains homeostasis
-Controls autonomic nervous system
-Hunger, thirst, temperature
-Pituitary gland
-Emotional responses
Frontal lobe controls
-Voluntary movements
-Memory
-Emotion
-Social judgement
-Decision making
-Reasoning
-Aggression
Temporal lobe controls
-Hearing
-Smell
-Learning
-Memory
-Emotional behaviour
-Visual recognition
Parietal lobe controls
-Receiving and interpreting bodily sensations
-Proprioception, Awareness of one’s body in space
Occipital lobe controls
Vision and visual info
Insula controls
-Perception
-Motor control
-Self awareness
-Cognitive functioning
Limbic system
-Hippocampus
-Amygdala
Hippocampus
Converts short-term memory into long-term memory
Amygdala
-Anger, jealousy, fear
-Stores and recalls emotions from past events
-God dammit, amygdala

CN I
-olfactory
-Smell
CN II
-Optic
-Vision
CN III
Oculomotor
-Voluntary movements of the eyelid an eyeball
-Pupil constriction
CN IV
Trochlear
-Moves superior oblique muscle
CN V
Trigeminal
-Corneal reflex: blinking in response to touch
CN VI
Abducens
-Move the lateral rectus muscle
CN VII
Facial nerve
-Controls facial expression and taste
CN VIII
Vestibulocochlear
-Hearing and balance
CN IX
Glossopharyngeal nerve
-Tongue movements, swallowing, gagging
-Taste, touch, temperature
CN X
Vagus nerve
-Longest and most widely distributed
-Supplies internal organs
CN XI
Spinal accessory nerve
-Movement of the head neck and shoulders
CN XII
Hypoglossal nerve
-Controls tongue movements
