chapter 16 part 2 Flashcards
pons
superior to the medulla and has sensory and motor nuclei for cranial nerves 5, 6, 7 and 8
-all abt respiratory rate
apneustic center
increase breathing rate
pneumotaxic center
lowers breathing rate
mesencephalon
-midbrain
-have 2 pairs of nuclei calls corpora quadrigemina
-also has nuclei of the reticular formation that keep you awake
-red nucleus
-substantia nigra
-cerebral peduncles
corpus quadrigemina
process auditory and visual stimuli
-inferioir colliculus = auditory (start baby reflexes)
-superior colliculus= visual
reticular formation
keeps you awake
red nucleus
-part of mesencephalon
-intefreates information btwn the cerebrum and cerebellum
substantia nigra
-regulates motor output of the basal nuclei
-degenerated= parkinsons
cerebral peduncles
-little feet
-have ascending fibers that synapse int he thalamus and descending fibers of the cortiospinal pathway
epithalamus
-roof of the third ventricle
-has the pineal gland
-makes melatonin and regulates day and night cycle
thalamus
-forms wall of third ventricle
-there is a right and left
-thalamic nuclei are egg shaped
hypothalamus
-connected to pituitary by the stalk ON TEST
-forms the floor of the third ventricle
-mane of nuclei
-stalk= infundibulum
-has a mamillary body on the posterior wall
hypothalamus cell bodies/ nuclei
-subconscious control of skeletal muscle
-heart rate, bp, respiration, digestion, secrete antidiuretic and oxytocin
-voluntary function
-normal body temp and circadian rythm
what is responsible for sleep and wake? ON TEST
hypothalamus and pineal gland
ADH
decrease urination
