CH21: CEREBRUM Flashcards
Brodmann distinguished how many different areas of the cerebral cortex (p. 475)
47
Surface area of the cortex (p. 475)
4,000cm2
how many neurons are there in the cortex (p. 475)
10 to 30 billion
the cortex wherein six-layered arrangement is discerned (p. 478)
homotypical cortex
the cortex wherein six-layered arrangement is less discerned (p. 478)
heterotypical cortex
sensory stimuli terminate mainly in layers (p. 478)
II and IV
interneurons transmit impulses to adjacent superficial and deep layers to efferent neurons at layer __(p. 478)
V
neurons of this lamina send axons to the other parts of the association cortex in the same and opposite hemisphere (p. 478)
III
projection efferents send axons to subcortical structures and in the spinal cord (p. 478)
V
layer projecting mainly to the thalamus (p. 478)
VI
zones of integration (p. 478)
heteromodal cortices
parts of the frontal components of the limbic system taking part in control of respiration, bp, peristalsis and autonomic functions (p. 480)
medial orbital gyri, anterior parts of cingulate, insular gyri
connects frontal lobes to occipital lobe (p. 480)
fronto- occipital fasciculus
connects orbital part of frontal lobe to temporal lobe (p. 480)
uncinate bundle
slow, slightly imbalanced, short- stepped gait with the torso and legs not properly in phase when placed in motion (p. 482)
magnetic gait
