Ch 13: brain and cranial nerves Flashcards
Cerebrum
Conscious thought, motor, somatosensory
(Bigger brain)
Brainstem
Connect spinal cord to brain
- 3 parts*
Cerebellum
Controls local motion
Example : balance, posture
(smaller brain)
Diencephalon
For parts, thalamus, epithalamus, hypothalamus, and sub thalamus
Nuclei
Collection of cell bodies
Compartments in brain stem
-midbrain (superior)
-Pons (in between)
-medullaoblongata (inferior)
The function of brainstem of moving muscles
Tracks ascend toward the brain from spinal cord, and carry sensory to communicate to brain. The tracks will descend downwards to the muscle, carrying motor sensory to move muscle.
Left hemisphere
Dominant and speech
Early embryo too late embryo
Adult to cavity of the brain development
Cavity to function
Basal nuclei
Unintentional movement when at rest
Reticular formation
Control cyclic activities
- sleep wake cycle
EC
Thalamus
Somatosensory relay center
Epithalamus
Contains nuclei to olfaction and pineal gland
