Chapter 13 Flashcards
what is a complex organ with 100 billion neurons and a trillion neuroglia
the brain
what integrated information from the rest of the body
the brain
4 brain divisions are
cerebrum
diencephalon
brain stem
cerebellum
what brain division controls conscious thought, perception, memory, and emotion
cerebrum
what brain division acts as relay, homeostasis and connects brainstem to cerebrum
diencephalon
what brain division controls reflexes and connects cerebrum to spinal cord
brain stem
what brain division controls muscle movement, balance- posterior inferior brain
cerebellum
elevated ridges; increase surface area of the cortex in cerebrum
gyrus
shallow depression, fissures= deeper grooves (separate large brain regions)
sulcus
between frontal and parietal
central sulcus
primary motor cortex
precentral gyrus
primary motor cortex
precentral gyrus
between parietal and occipital
parieto-occupital sulcus
separates temporal from parietal and frontal
lateral sulcus
what fissures are in the cerebrum
longitudinal and transverse
sensory area in cerebrum
info in
motor area of cerebrum
directed movement
assign meaning to what hear, see, smell
association area
how many cerebral lobes are there
5
name the 5 cerebral lobes
frontal
pariteal
temporal
occipital
insula (deep)
what does the frontal lobe do
voluntary motor function
aggression
mood
what does the prefrontal cortex control
personality
decision making
what does does the parietal do
receive and evaluates sensory info
what does the temporal lobe control
smell, hearing, memory and learning
what does the occipital lobe do
receive and integrate visual input
what does the insula lobe do
receive and evaluate taste info
addictive behavior
OCD is connected
gray matter in the brain
cerebal cortex
pyramidal cells in cerebral cortex =
precise skeletal movements
white matter in the brain
cerebral medulla
tracts in the cerebal medulla=
connections between areas
3 fiber tracts of cerebal medulla are
association
commisural
projection
association=
same hemisphere
commissural=
connect 2 hemispheres (corpus callosum)
projection=
connect cerebrum to other parts of brain and spinal cord
the basal ganglia consists of
basal nuclei, caudate nucleus, and lentiform nucleus
what is in the lentiform nucleus
putamen
globus pallidus
what does the basal ganglia do
control motor functions
reward and reinforcement
addictive behavior and habits
receive input from cerebral cortex
attention, cognition, start stop movement
prevent unnecessary movement
cingulate gyrs, hippocampus, amygdala, subcortical nuclei, hypothalamus, and olfactory cortex are all in what system
limbic
the limbic system plays roles in
motivation, emotion response, learning, memory, ring around diecephalon
what does the hippocampus control
learning and memory
what does the amygdala control
asses danger, elicits fear, anger, and happy
4 compoenents of diencephalon
thalamus
epithalamus
subthalamus
hypothalamus
relay for sensory input= gateway to cerebral cortex
thalamus
pineal gland= sleep wake cycle
epithalamus
