Question 16

the precentral gyrus is connected to the post central gyrus by what?

Answer 16

paracentral lobule

Question 17

what is the pain gate for the head?

Answer 17

substantia gelatinosa

Question 18

this divides the parietal lobe form the occipital lobe?

Answer 18

parietal-occipital sulcus

Question 19

this is the division from the temporal lobe from the frontal and occipital lobes?

Answer 19

sylvian fissure

Question 20

this portion of the lobe is aka the limbic lobe responsible for emotion hidden deeper than the temporal lobe and is 3 cell bodies thick?

Answer 20

insula

Question 21

this is the portion of the lateral ventricles that separates them?

Answer 21

septum pellucidum

Answer 22

lateral ventricle
inter ventricular foramen of monroe
third ventricle
cerebral aqueduct of sylvius
fourth ventricle 
-posterior: foramen of magiende
-lateral: foramen of luschka 
-inferior: central canal of the spinal cord
subarachnoid space

Answer 24

inferior sagittal sinus
straight sinus
left transverse sinus 
sigmoid sinus
internal jugular v
venous return

Question 25

this part of the brain relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex and does not include sense of smell because CN I does not go to it?

Answer 25

thalamus

Question 26

this is the interconnection of the right and left hemisphere beside the anterior cerebral a.

Answer 26

corpus collusum

Question 27

these are the associate fibers between the corpus collosum; the lateral ventricle lies between this structure and the corpus callosum?

Answer 27

fornix

Question 28

this is the tree of life found inside the cerebellum and keeps the bodily systems working? remember outside is cerebellum and inside is the arbor vitae

Answer 28
