Q

What is the location and function of the frontal lobe?

A

Location: Includes all the neocortex from the front, most anterior part of the brain to a major sulcus, called the central sulcus, that runs from side to side at about the middle of the brain.
Function: Reasoning, personality, attention

Q

What is the location and function of the sulcus?

A

Location: All over the cerebrum, surface of the brain.

Function: Increase the surface area of the brain and allow it to fit within the confines of the skull.

Q

What is the location and function of the trigeminal nerve?

A

Location: Rostral to the medulla and abducens, caldal to the midbrain and oculomotor nerve.

Function: Mixed nerve (sensory and motor) Carries sensory information from the skin muscles and other structures. Motor – biting and chewing

18
Q

What is the location and function of the pyriform lobe?

A

Location: In the lateral view ventral to the rhinal fissure and caudal to the optic nerve.

Function: Processes scent (olfaction)

19
Q

What is the location and function of the sylvian fissure?

A

Location: Caudal to the frontal lobe

Function: Divides the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe

20
Q

What is the structure and function of the rhinal fissure?

A

Location: In the lateral view dorsal to the pyriform lobe and lateral olfactory tract leading to the olfactory bulb

Function: Divides the cerebrum from the underlying structures

21
Q

What is the location and function of the optic nerve?

A

Location: In the lateral view rostral to the pyriform lobe caudal to the olfactory bulb

Function: Sensory – carries visual information

22
Q

What is the location and function of the olfactory bulb?

A

Location: Rostral to the optic nerve and rostral to the cerebrum

Function: Perception of odors

23
Q

Lateral View:

24
Q

What is the location and function of the meninges?

A

Location: Three tissue layers that cover the brain

Function: Series of three tissue layers that cover and protect the brain

25
Q

What is the location and function of the dura mater?

A

Location: Tough, white, outermost layer on the outside of the brain

Function: protect the brain

26
Q

What is the location and function of the arachnoid mater?

A

Location: Middle, web-like layer on the outside of brain

Function: protect the brain

27
Q

What is the location and function of the pia mater?

A

Location: Thin, transparent layer that is closest to the brain

Function: protect the brain, enclose cerebrospinal fluid

28
Q

What is the location and function of white matter?

A

Location: Regions of the brain with myelinated neurons

Function: Increases the speed of transmission of neuronal signals

29
Q

What is the structure and function of gray matter?

A

Location: Regions of the brain with unmyelinated neurons, neuronal cell bodies

Function: Mostly neuronal cell bodies includes regions of brain involved in sensory perception, memory, muscle control, hearing, emotions

30
Q

What is the location and function of the choroid plexus?

A

Location: In the ventricles of the brain

Function: Structures that produce cerebrospinal fluid
