Exam 3 Flashcards
A major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex (part of the brain)
Thalamus
responsible for regulation of posture and coordination of skeletal muscle movements (part of the brain)
cerebellum
Enables sensation communitcation, memory, and voluntary movements
cerebral cortex
this area is the main visceral control center of the body (part of the brain)
hypothalamus
contains autonomic centers, which regulate blood pressure respiratory pressure, respiratory rhythm coughing and sneezing (part of the brain)
medulla oblongata
which cell type is most associated with the production and flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?
ependymal cells
What CNS-associated structure is responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid?
Choroid plexus
the central sulcus separates which lobes?
frontal from parietal
The vital centers for the control of heart rate, respiration, blood pressure are located in the……
medulla
which part of the brain is the “executive suite” that controls almost all brain activity?
cerebral cortex
Which part of the CNS sorts almost all of the ascending sensory information?
thalamus
Which of the following regions of the brain stem serves as a bridge between the brain stem and the cerebellum?
pons
The part of the peripheral nervous system which brings information to the central nervous system is…
