Chapter 13 Part 1 Flashcards
Identify gyrus
Folds on the outer surface of the brain
3- Differentiate between commissures, association fibers, projection fibers.
Commisures - extend between hemispheres
Projection - Link cerebral cortex to inferior brain regions and spinal cord
Association - Connect different regions of cerebral cortex within same hemisphere
4- Compare the distribution of gray matter and white matter in the cerebrum and spinal cord.
Cerebrum: white matter deep to gray matter, clusters of gray matter within white matter
Spinal cord: Grey matter in the spinal cord is located deep to the white matter.
5- What are the three meninges of the CNS?
From deep to superficial
pia mater
arachnoid mater
dura mater
6- Describe the locations of the three meninges in relation to the brain.
Pia mater: Innermost of cranial meninges
Arachnoid mater: Lies external to pia mater
Dura mater: Lies external to arachnoid mater
7- Name the layers of the dura mater and the space between them when it exists.
Meningeal layer
Periostial layer
Epidural space
Where is the subdural space
space between arachnoid and dura mater
1- What are the four major regions of the brain?
diencephalon
brainstem
cerebellum
cerebrum
Identify sulcus
Shallow depression on surface of brain
Identify longitudinal fissure
Deeper groove
Splits left and right hemispheres
Identify transverse fissure
Separates cerebellum from left and right hemispheres
Identify cerebral hemispheres
Left cerebral hemispheres
Right cerebral hemisphere
Identify cerebral cortex
•superficial region of gray matter, termed cerebral cortex
Surface of cerebrum
Identify tract
Bundles of axons
Identify arachnoid villi
Finger like extensions of the arachnoid mater
