25
The white matter has 3 regions;
1. Anterior (aka ventral) columns 2. Posterior (aka dorsal) columns 3. Lateral columns
26
In the White matter each columns consist of ---------(------) that have common region or destination.
axons (tracts)
27
In the White matter,--------------tracts consist of axon that conduct APs toward the brain.
Sensory (ascending) | brain
28
In the White matter,--------------tracts consist of axon that conduct APs away from the brain.
motor (aka descending)
29
There are 4 structure to the brain:
1. brain stem 2. cerebellum 3. diencephalon 4. cerebrum
30
Continuos with the spinal cord (SC) it is the part between the SC and the diencephalon called----------
the brain stem
31
There are 3 regions to the brain stem: | Those regions contain the ----------------------
1. Medulla Oblongata 2. Pons 3. Midbrain the nuclei of specific cranial nerves
32
The net-like reticular formation extends through the ----------
brain stem
33
Brain stem: Contains centers (nuclei) for the control of heart, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing and vomiting called------------
Medulla Oblongata
34
Brain stem contains centres for the control of breathing
Pons
35
Brain Stem contain centers for reflex visual activities (e.g. tracking moving objects, scanning stationary objects), hearing called ------
Midbrain
36
In the Midbrain contains a nuclei called the -------------- ---------- neuron that make dopamine extend from it.
substantial nigra ( where dopamine is made)
37
Brain Stem The Retucula formation a net like formation of neural tissue that spreads throughout the brain stem contains the ------------which help to perform 4 functions;
(RAS) Reticular activating system 1. consciousness 2. maintain attention 3. prevent sensory overload by filtering out insignificant information 4. regulate muscle tone
38
---------------is posterior to the brain stem
Cerebellum
39
-------------------smoothest and coordinate skeletal muscle contraction and regulates posture and balance.
Cerebellum
40
Diencephalon contains 3 parts:
1. Hypothalamus 2. Thalamus 3. epithalamus
41
------------is the major relay station for most sensory input to the cerebral cortex.
Thalamus
42
---------------contains the pineal gland, and involved in smelling (especially emotional responses to smells) and secreted melatonin
Epithalamus
43
-----------------major regulator of homeostasis, hormone production, eating, drinking, body temp, controls and integrate the autonomic nervous system(ans) , emotion and behavior(with limbic system), circadian rhythm.
Hypothalamus
44
Diencephalon (a 24 hour cycle in the biochemical, physiological and/or behavioral processes of living things) called ---------------found in the ------------------
Circadian Rhythm | Hypothalamus
45
-----------------2 halves or hemispheres (right and left)
cerebrum
46
Cerebrum consists of: An outer rim of --------------------(--------------) and it has an inner region of ---------------------
``` grey matter (cerebral cortex) white matter ```
47
-----------has a gray matter nuclei deep within the white
Cerebrum
48
Cerebrum -------------- contains sensory area involved in perception and contains motor areas involved in the execution of voluntary movements.
Cerebral cortex
49
---------------is the outer region of the cerebrum
cerebral cortex
50
Cerebrum --------------------contains areas that deal with more complex functions like memory, emotions, reasoning , will, judgment, personality traits, intelligence
Association areas(white matter)
51
Cerebrum --------aka basal nuclei , helps to regulate the starting and stoping of a movement and to reset muscle tone
Basal Ganglia
52
Cerebrum | -----------helps to control subconscious contraction of skeletal muscles and suppress unwanted movement.
Basal Ganglia
53
Cerebrum Functionally the basal Ganglia are linked to the ------- ---------
substantial nigra (produces Dopamine)
54
---------------involved smelling , emotions, memory. It is also part of the hypothalamus, hippocampus,amygdala and other nearby structures.
The limbic system
55
------------functions in memory (encoding, consolidation, and retrieval)
Hippocampus
56
--------------very important in converting short-term memory into long-term memory
Hippocampus
57
---------important in emotional function (esp.fear)
Amygdala
58
connective tissues of the CNS called---------
Meninges
59
-----------three protective layers of CT that encircle the brain and SC.
Meninges
60
connective tissues of the CNS | tough outer layer called ---------
dura mater
61
connective tissues of the CNS | middle layer called --------
arachnoid membrane
62
------------they cover the brain/SC up to the point where the nerves exit the spinal cord.
connective tissues of the CNS
63
----------the adipose and CT-filled space between the wall of the ----------canal and the dura mater .
epidural space vertebrae (no epidural space in the brain)
64
-------------interstitial fluid-filled space between the dura mater and arachnoid membrane.
subdural
65
------------CSF filled space between the arachnoid membrane and the the pia mater
Subarachnoid space
