De anatomie Flashcards
De grote structuren van de hersenen
cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, brain stem (midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata)
de basal nuclei en hun functie
caudate nucleus, putamen, blous pallidus for skeletal muscle movement
longitudinal fissure
deep fissure that separates the two heimspheres of the cerebrum
frontal lobe
region of the cerebrum located uder the frontal bone; contans the primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus) and is involved in complex learning
parietal lobe
region of the cerebrum located under parietal bone; contains the primary sensory cortex (postcentral gyrus) and is involved in language acquisition
central sulcus
deep groove that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe
occipital lobe
processes visual indormation and is related to our understanding of thee written word
parieto-occipital sulcus
groove on medial surface of hemisphere, denk wel dat je kan raden
temporal lobe
processes information associated with hearing and equilibrium
lateral sulcus
deep groove that separates the frontal and partital lobes from the temporal lobe
insula
region of the ccerebrum deep within the lateral sulcus; processes information associated with hearing and equilibrium
transverse fissure
deep fissure that separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum
fornix
bridge of white matter inferior to the corpus callosum; links regions of the limbic system together
anterior commissure
bridge of white fibers found near the anterior tip of the corpus callosum
diencephalon bestaat uit
thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
thalamus
80% van diencephalon; major relay point and processing center for all sensory impulses except for smell
intermediate mass
a flattened gray band of tissue connecting the two halves of the thalamus
hypothalamus
region inferior to thalamus; main regulatory center involed in visceral control of the body and maintenance of overall homeostatis
mammillary body
pea-like structure posterior to hypothalamus; function as realy station in olfactory pathway
infundibulum
neural stalk originating near mammillary bodies; connects pituitary gland to hypothalamus
posterior commissure
bridge of white fibers found inferior to the pineal gland; connects the two hemispheres of the cerebrum
cerebral peduncle
bulge located on the ventral aspect of the midbrain; contains fiber tracts running between the cerebrum and spinal cord
superior colliculus
part of midbrain (corpora quadrigemina); contains nerve reflex centers involved in coordinated eye movements, focusing, and papillary responses
inferior colliculus
part of the midbrain (corpud quadrigemina); contains nerve reflex centers involved in auditory reflexes
