external views (dorsal/lateral/ventral)

Question 1

spinal cord (s)

Answer 1

relay info from brain to bod/vice versa

Question 2

medulla (s,f)

Answer 2

autonomic functions (basic aka breathing/heart rate)

Question 3

pons (s,f)

Answer 3

autonomic functions (sleep/arousal), connects cerebrum & forebrain

Question 4

midbrain (s,f)

Answer 4

eye movement, pupil dilation

Question 5

superior colliculus (s,f)

Answer 5

process visual info (sensory)

Question 6

inferior colliculus (s,f)

Answer 6

process visual info (motor)

Question 7

hypothalamus (s,f)

Answer 7

regulate autonomic nervous system, ctrl body temp/thirst/hunger/circadian rhythm, synthesize hormones, fighting/fleeting/fucking (mating)

Question 8

meninges (f)

Answer 8

protect brain

Question 9

dura mater (f)

Answer 9

thick/tough (dense/fibrous tissue), outermost layer; provide brain/spinal cord w/extra protective layer, keep CNS stay put by attachment to skull, surrounds/supports blood leaving brain & return to heart

Question 10

arachnoid mater (f)

Answer 10

loose-fitting sac thin/transparent (stretch like cobweb b/t dura/pia); keep brain in place in skull/shape, also allows blood flow (keep fluids/toxins etc. out of brain)

Question 11

pia mater (f)

Answer 11

thin, on outer surface of brain (tight membrane); aids in production of CSF, pierced by blood vessels, allow blood flow, enclose CSF

Question 12

cerebrospinal fluid (f)

Answer 12

cushion brain, circulate nutrients/chemicals

Question 13

cerebellum (s,f)

Answer 13

coordinate movement, maintain posture, fine motor movement, motor learning, receives some sensory info

Question 14

cerebellar vermis (s,f)

Answer 14

median portion of cerebellum; proprioception (perception of position/movement of bod)

Question 15

cerebellar hemisphere (s,f)

Answer 15

2 lateral sides of cerebellum; motor ctrl

Question 16

cerebrum (s)

Answer 16

rostral to cerebellum

Question 17

frontal lobe (s,f)

Answer 17

front-est; higher cognition processes, reasoning, personality, attention, memory

Question 18

parietal lobe (s,f)

Answer 18

behind frontal, on top of occipital; integrate sensory info from bod (somatosensation), process spatial info, temperature perception

Question 19

occipital lobe (s,f)

Answer 19

hella back under parietal; vision perception

Question 20

temporal lobe (s,f)

Answer 20

in front of cerebellum, under all the other lobes; hearing, memory

Question 21

medial longitudinal fissure (s)

Answer 21

deep fissure separating L/R hemispheres of brain

Question 22

gyri/gyrus (s)

Answer 22

all over cerebrum, surface of brain (bulgy parts)

Question 23

sulci/sulcus (s)

Answer 23

all over cerebrum, surface of brain (cracks)

Question 24

grey matter (s)

Answer 24

neuronal cell bodies/unmyelinated axons

Question 25

white matter (s)

Answer 25

axons encompassed by myelin sheaths (FATTY)

Question 26

rhinal fissure (s)

Answer 26

extends across; divides pyriform lobe/olfactory bulb

Question 27

sylvian fissure (s)

Answer 27

divides frontal/temporal lobe; connect to rhinal fissure sorta perpendicular

Question 28

pyriform lobe (s,f)

Answer 28

process smell

Question 29

optic chiasm (s)

Answer 29

x thingy

Question 30

pyramidal tract (s)

Answer 30

b/t pons & medulla
