Q

Diencephalon location and whats in diencephalon

A

location: above midbrain and below cerebrum
- thalamus : directs sensory impulses to the cerebrum

    –> also contains many important nuceli: mamillary bodies
  • Epithalamus: contains pineal gland and secretes melatonin

32
Q

what is the pia mater?

A

most inner layer of the meninges. delicate CT that clings tightly to brain. contains many tiny blood vessels that feed brain’
Elastic and Reticular fibers

33
Q

What is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

A
  • ## forms liquid cushion of constant volume around brain.
34
Q

Where is the primary somatosensory cortex located?

A

in the parietal lobe.
receives general sensory of skin , joints, tendons, etc

A

arc shaped and lies on the cerebral hemisphere. a part of limbic system.

connects sensroy input to emotions.
emotional responses to pain

37
Q

Postcentral gyrus

A

in the lateral paritel lobe. and is in the primary somatosensory cortex.

receives and integrates snesnory infomation in terms of touch, pain, temp, vibration

38
Q

Caudate nucleus

A

center of the brain and plays a role in planning the execution of movement, learning, memory, emotions, etc

the 2 lateral ventricles are found?

A

within the cerebral hemisphere

46
Q

Process of inhibiting melatonin
