Q

What does the basal ganglia do?

A

They control movement and posture. This is where diseases such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s chorea cause disturbances in voluntary muscular control. (pg. 79)

16
Q

What structure lies between and is associated with the optic chiasma, mammillary bodies, and pituitary gland?

A

The hypothalmus (pg. 79)

17
Q

Where do optic nerves (CN II) cross?

A

Optic chiasma (pg. 79)

18
Q

What is the sensory synaptic station that is part of the limbic system?

A

Mammillary bodies (pg. 79)

19
Q

What projects inferior to the hypothalamus and secretes many horomones?

A

Pituitary gland (pg. 79)

20
Q

What are the functions of the Hypothalamus in the regulation of visceral activity?

A
  1. Body Temp

21
Q

What makes up the brain stem from superior to inferior?

A

22
Q

What are the four elevations that are arranged as two pairs located at the roof (dorsal surface) of the midbrain called?

A

The corpora quadrigemina (pg. 80)

23
Q

What is the pair of elevations of the corpora quadrigemina that are involved in the pathway of vision?

A

Superior colliculi (pg. 80)

24
Q

What is the pair of elevations of the corpora quadrigemina that are involved in the pathway of hearing?

A

Inferior colliculi (pg. 80)

25
Q

What acts as a bridge connecting the right and left cerebellar hemispheres and relays impulses from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum?

A

The pons (pg. 80)

26
Q

What is the part of the brain that is directly continuous with the spinal cord and contains most of the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord?

A

The medulla oblongata (pg. 80)

27
Q

The medulla oblongata represents an area in which tract fibers lie called what?

A

Pyramids (pg. 81)

28
Q

An area inferior to to the pyramids is where the pyramidal tracts cross over to the contralateral side called what?

A

Pyramidal decussation (pg. 81)

29
Q

Other tract fibers can cross where?

A

in the spinal cord or in the brain itself (pg. 81)

Q

The medulla oblongata contains several nuclei involved in the regulation of vital body activities such as?

A

Respiratory
Cardiac (heart rate)
Vasomotor (blood pressure) (pg. 81)

31
Q

This structure connects with the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata via the superior, middle, and inferior cerebellar peduncles? 2 names?

A

Cerebellum (little brain) (pg. 81)

32
Q

The cerebellum consists of 2 hemispheres separated by what?

A

33
Q

The outer layers of the cerebellum contain what?

A

(folia= leaves) pg. 81

34
Q

Internally the cerebellum has white matter branching in the form of a tree called what?

A

35
Q

What are the functions of the cerebellum?

A

  2. regulation of muscle tone
  3. maintenance of equilibrium (pg. 81)
