Chapter 14 Brain, Cranial Nerves, Sensory Motor Part 1 Flashcards
Major parts of adult brain is derived from
Embryonic brain vesicles
4 divisions of brain
Diencephalon
Cerebrum
Brain stem
Cerebellum
Diencephalon
Contains thalamus, hypothalamus, lambic system, and pituitary gland
Cerebrum
Divided into left and right hemisphere
Used for higher functions
Memory, processing,
Contains cortex
Brainstem
Contains midbrain, pons, medulla oblingata(autonomic functions)
Cerebellum
Balance, coordination
Hypothalamus
Emotions and autonomic functions
Pons
Relays sensory info to cerebellum and thalamus
Medulla oblingata
Autonomic regulation like breathing, heart rate, and digestion
Gyri
Bumps on brain
Sulcus
Indents in brain
Fissures
Deep sulci (creases)
Outer layer of cerebrum is made of
Grey matter
Inner cerebrum is made of
White matter
Gray matter is made of ——
White matter is made of —
Cell bodies
Myelinated axons
Basal nuclei
Clusters of grey matter deep in brain
How are lateral ventricles and third ventricle attached
Interventionist foramen
How are fourth ventricle and third ventricle attached
Cerebral aqueduct
