Exam 4: Chapter 14 Flashcards
(28 cards)
Functions of cerebrospinal fluid
cushion, support, transport nutrients, chemical messengers, and waste
Where CSF is produced
choroid plexus
Circulation of CSF
from choroid plexus, through ventricles, to central canal of spinal cord, into subarachnoid space around brain, spinal cord, and cauda equina
Cerebrum functions
conscious thoughts, sensations, intellect, memory, and complex movements
cerbellum functions
adjusts ongoing movements by comparing arriving sensations with previously experienced sensations
thalamus functions
contains relay and processing centers for sensory information
hypothalamus functions
contains centers involved with emotion, autonomic function, and hormone production
midbrain functions
process visual and auditory information, controls reflexes triggered by those stimuli
pons functions
contains CNS axons, and nuclei involved with domatic and visceral motor control
medulla oblongata functions
relays sensory information to the thalamus and to other portions of the brainstem
hippocampus functions
conversion of short term to long term memories
limbic system functions
processing memories and creating emotional states, drives, and associated behaviors
reticular activating system functions
sleep-wake cycles, attention
primary motor cortex location
frontal lobe
primary sensory cortex location
parietal lobe
visual cortex location
occipital lobe
auditory cortex location
temporal lobe
primary motor cortex functions
voluntary control of skeletal muscles
primary sensory cortex functions
conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, vibration, taste, and temperature
visual cortex function
conscious perception of visual stimuli
auditory cortex function
conscious perception of auditory stimuli
association areas locations
all lobes
association areas functions
integration and processing of sensory data, processing and initiation of motor activities
somatosensory cortex location
parietal lobe
