Chapter 14- Brain and cranial nerves Flashcards
gyrus =
ridges
sulcus =
folds
fissure =
big divison
the hypothalamus and the thalamus comprise of the
diencephalon
midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata comprise the
brainstem
Cerebral Hemispheres • Cortex (gray matter & white matter) • Frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobes • Basal ganglia
Cerebrum
dura mater =
superficial
pia mater=
bound tightly to brain
filled with serous fluid or a sinus for blood;
between dura mater and arachnoid mater
subdural space
filled with CSF; between arachnoid
mater and pia mater
subarchanoid mater
The brain, in fact, is
floating within the skull, and is cushioned & protected by
cerebrospinal fluid
CSF
CSF is formed by the
ependymal
cells,
majority of the CSF is made by the ____ located in the ventricles
choroid plexus
Motor patterns,
personality, motivation
frontal lobe
– Pre-central gyrus =
primary motor cortex
– Touch
& proprioception
parietal lobe
post central gyrus
primary somatosensory cortex
– Hearing,
gravity, acceleratio
temporal lobe
Vision
occipital lobe
a thin layer of
gray matter at the surface of the cerebrum.
cortex
motor control and higher thought
•Anterior to central sulcus
– sensory processing
Posterior to central sulcus –
initiative, conscience, morality, judgment,
speech, motor control
•Frontal lobe
The gyrus on the medial surface of each
hemisphere that is
immediately superior to the corpus callosum. This actually lies
deep within the longitudinal fissure.
•Cingulate Gyrus
somatomotor signals sent to spinal cord (in the frontal lobe)
•Precentral gyrus –
– somatosensory is located in what lobe
parietal
vison is located in what lobe
occipital lobe
