chapter 13 pt 5 Flashcards
in the midbrain other structures include
tagmentum, cerebral aqueduct, tectum
tegmentum contain
red nuclei and reticular formation
reticular formation has to do with
aurosal or consciousness
affects to reticular formation means someone is in a
coma
cerebral aquaduct is surrounded by
periaqueductal gray matter
tectum contains four mounds making a
tectal plate
in the tectum the is a pair of _____ that control visual reflexes and tracking
superior colliculi
pair of _____ control auditory reflexes
inferior colliculi
in pons it has a
pontine respitory center
pontine respitory center is located in pons and helps regulate
skeletal muscles of breathing
medulla oblongata if severed will cause
death
medulla oblongata has ____ we call pyramids
tracts
medulla oblongata is the _____ portion of the brainstem
inferior
medulla oblongata has _____ connecting brain to spinal cord
tracts
medulla oblongata has pyramids which are a
pair of ridges on anterior surface
pyramids in medulla oblongata house
corrticospinal tracts for otor control
in medulla oblongata most tract axons cross at the ____________ so each side of cortex controls movement on opposite side of body
decussion of the pyramids
in medulla oblongata there are also things called olives that bulge ______ to each pyramid
lateral
olives relay ________ to cerebellum
proprioceptive information
in medulla oblongata olives contain
inferior olivary nucleus
the inferior cerebellar peduncles is located in
medulla oblongata
inferior cerebellar peduncles have tracts connecting
medulla to cerebellum
medulla oblongata has 2 iportant centers called
cardiovascular center, medullary respitory center
the cardiovascular center is composed of
cardiac center, vasomotor center
cardiac center does what
regulkates hearts output
vasomotor center does what
regulates blood vessels diameter; influences blood pressure
the medullary respitory center controls
breathing rate
the medullary respitory center contains
dorsal and central respitory groups.
the medullary respitory center communicates with
pontine respitory center
the cerebellum is the ________ brain area
2nd largest
e cerbellum is located
beneath occipital lobe
cerebellar cortex- convoluted surfae with
folia (folds)
how many cerebral hemispheres are there
2
each hemisphere of cerebellum has an
anterior and posterior lobe seperate by primary fissure
vermis is a
narrow band of cortex between left and right lobes
