Ch 13-14 Test Flashcards
pineal gland
produces melatonin, which helps regulates sleep-wake cycles
learned, repetitious, patterned motor skills are stored here:
premotor cortex
which lobe controls hearing, speaking coherently, and olfactory sensations?
temporal
pons
a brain structure that relays information from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain
large white matter tract that connects the two cerebral hemispheres
corpus callosum
receives information from the retina and optic nerve in the occipital lobe
visual cortex
arachnoid mater
middle meningeal layer that looks like a web
part of the brain that regulates body temperature, hydration, and coordinates between nervous and endocrine systems
hypothalamus
thalamus
relays sensory and motor information to various parts of the brain
watery solution that provides a liquid cushion of the brain and spinal cord
cerebrospinal fluid
deep grooves in the cerebrum
fissures
which lobe is responsible for thinking, planning, problem solving, emotions, behavior control, and decision making?
frontal
medulla oblongata
controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
what relates to functions of the hypothalamus?
emotional drives like hunger and thirst
deals with motor information and spinal cord:
ventral root
controls emotions and memories
limbic system
shallow grooves in the cerebrum
sulci
lobe that deals with learning and decision making
frontal
receives information from the skin and skeletal muscles
primary sensory cortex
modified capillaries within each ventricle that make CSF
choroid plexus
traumatic brain injury resulting in severe and long term damage and memory loss
contusion
collection of unipolar somas near the spinal cord
dorsal root ganglion
area responsible for intellect, cognition, personality, and decision making
prefrontal cortex
degenerative condition of memory loss, disorientation, and irritability
Alzheimer’s disease
these are responsible for subconscious skeletal muscle control
basal nuclei
ridges in the cerebrum
gyri
traumatic brain injury resulting in slight nerve tearing and bleeding
concussion
delicate inner meningeal layer
pia mater
tough outer meningeal layer that protects the brain
dura mater
integrates sensory information from external environment to determine specific level of touch occuring
somatic sensory association area
pituitary gland
master gland of the endocrine system; makes oxytocin and ADH
function of the lateral gray horn
visceral motor information
motor speech area
Broca’s area
which relates to functions of the hypothalamus?
emotional drivers like hunger and thirst, hormones (hooks to pituitary)
receives information from the retina and optic nerve in the occipital lobe
visual cortex
which lobe receives sensory input for touch and body position
parietal
deals with sensory information and the spinal cord
dorsal root
thalamus
relays sensory and motor information to various parts of the brain
midbrain
associated with audio and visual reflexes
this part of my brain is related to balance and muscle corrdination
cerebellum
controls locomotion, balance, and posture
cerebellum
these are responsible for subconscious skeletal muscle control
basal nuclei
pineal gland
produce melatonin, which helps regulate sleep-wake cycles
deals with motor information and spinal cord
ventral root
function of the lateral gray horn
visceral motor information
conscious thoughts and sensory perception
cerebrum
controls vital functions such as breathing and heart rate
medulla oblongata
modified capillaries within each ventricle that make CSF
choroid plexus
