chapter 14 test part 2 Flashcards
hypothalamus- mamillary bodies
process olfactory and other sensory info, control reflex eating movements
hypothalamus- mamillary bodies
process olfactory and other sensory info, control reflex eating movements
hypothalamus- infundibulum
narrow stalk that connects hypothalamus to pituitary gland
hypothalamus- tuberal area
helps control pituitary gland function
function 1-4 of hypothalamus
- provide subconscious control of skeletal muscle
- controls autonomic funct.
- coordinates act. of nervous and endocrine sys.
- secretes hormones (ADH and oxytocin)
funct 5-8 hypothalamus
- produces emotions and behavioral drives (hungar and thirst)
- coordinated vol. and autonomic funct.
- reg body temp
- control circadian rhythms
antidiuretic hormone
ADH by supraoptic nucleus
oxytocin
secreted by paraventricular nucleus
preoptic area of hypothalamus
reg body temp
suprachiasmatic nucleus of hypothalamus
contols circadian rhythms
limbic sys functions
est. emotional states, links conscious funct of cerebral cortex w autonomic funct of brain stem, fascilitates memory storage and retrieval
amygdaloid body
acts as interface between the limbic sys, cerebrum, and various sensory sys.
limbic lobe structures
cingulate gyrus, dentate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, hippocampus
fornix
tract of white matter in limbic sys that connects hippocampus with hypothalamus
reticular formation
part of limbic sys; stim or inhibition affects emotions (rage, fear, pain, sexual arousal, pleasure)
central sulcus
divides anterior frontal lobe from posterior parietal lobe
lateral sulcus
divides frontal lobe from temporal lobe
parieto-occipital sulcus
divides parietal lobe from occipital lobe
3 funct principals of the cerebrum
- Ea hemi receives sensory info from and sends motor commands to the opposite side of body.
- The 2 hemis have diff funct, althouh similar structure.
- Correspondance between a specific funct and specific region of cerebral cortex is not precise.
association fibers
connections within one hemi
commissural fibers
bands of fibers connecting 2 hemi
projection fibers
connect cerebrum w lower areas
arcuate fibers
association fibers that are short and connect 1 gyrus to another
longitudinal fasciculi
association fibers w longer bundles that connect frontal lobe to other lobes in same area
