Exam 5 Pt. 2 Flashcards
gyri
convolutions
hemisphere
right or left
sulci
groves
fissure
deep pronounced groove
lobes
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal
cerebral longitudinal fissure
separates left and right hemispheres
lateral sulcus
separates temporal lobe from frontal and parietal
central sulcus
separates frontal lobe from parietal lobes
frontal lobe
planning, initiation, inhibition of voluntary motion, & cognitive functions.
Broca’s area
speech motor planning, left hemisphere only
precentral gyrus
initiation of voluntary motor movements
premotor region
motor planning
parietal lobe
receives sensory information
inferior parietal lobe
interprets sensory information
supramarginal
motor planning for speech
angular gyri
written language
temporal lobe
auditory reception
Heschl’s gyrus
receives auditory information from the ears
wernicke’s area
comprehension and formulation of spoken language
occipital lobe
primary visual area and visual association area
insula
assists in regulation of emotion, body states
meningeal linings
protection
dura mater
outer layer, to protect
arachnoid mater
allows passage of blood vessels, circulation of cerebral spinal fluid
pia mater
inner layer
ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid
protection and suspension
choroid plexus
produces csf
lateral ventricle
beginning ventricles for circulation of csf
interventricular foramen of monroe
passage way between lateral ventricles and third ventricle
cerebral aqueduct
passageway between third and fourth ventricle
fourth ventricle
sends csf to subarachnoid space to circulate around brain and spinal cord
projection fibers
communicates to and from the cerebral cortex
association fibers
communicate within the same hemispheres
short fibers
connect cells in adjacent convolutions
long fibers
connect cortical regions within the same hemisphere
arcuate fasiculus
connects wernicke’s area to broca’s area
commissural fibers
communicates between the two hemispheres (corpus callosum)
basal ganglia
aids in control of background movement and initiation of movement patterns.
hippocampal formation
memory
thalamus
relay station for sensory information
epithalamus
connects limbic system to other parts of the brain
subthalamus
controls striated muscle
hypothalamus
regulates reproductive behavior, hunger, thirst, metabolic functions, emotions
anterior cerebral artery
medial surface of frontal and parietal lobes, corpus callosum, and basal ganglia
middle cerebral artery
lateral surface of hemispheres, temporal lobes, motor strip, Broca’s area
posterior cerebral artery
occipital lobes, inferior areas of the temporal lobe, upper midbrain and cerebellum
circle of willis
creates redundancies for protection of blood flow to areas of brain
thrombus
foreign body
embolus
floating clot
aneurysm
dilation of blood vessel
