final practical Flashcards
vertebral arteries
what branches downward into vertebral column
-divides off into two sides from basilar artery
basilar artery
main center artery
-every artery branches off
anterior inferior cerebellar arteries
branch off of the basilar artery
-at base of cerebellum
what comes out of the anterior inferior cerebellar arteries?
labyrinthine artery
-unlikely to be seen on a brain specimen
lobes of the brain
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, limbic, and insula
frontal lobe
frontal pole of head
-higher processing : thinking, decision making, planning
parietal lobe
sensory information
temporal lobe
bottom and side of head
-auditory information
occipital lobe
back pole of head
-visual information
limbic lobe
surrounding corpus callosum
-memory and emotions
insula lobe
interior lobe within the opening of sylvian fissure
-involved in consciousness
central sulcus
separates frontal from parietal lobe
precentral gyrus
gyrus in front of central sulcus
-M1
postcentral gyrus
gyrus behind the central sulcus
-S1
lateral (sylvian) sulcus
between frontal and temporal lobe
longitudinal fissure
separates the two hemispheres
angular gyrus
where the lateral sulcus end
supramarginal gyrus
area above the ending of lateral sulcus
layers of meninges
PAD
-pia, arachnoid, dura
broca’s area
within frontal lobe
-inferior location
wernicke’s area
posterior portion of superior temporal gyrus
CN 7
pons level
-superior
CN 8
pons level
-inferior/lateral to CN 7
where is CN 10
medulla level
cerebellum
two ball like shapes on the posterior side of brainstem
-hang off the braim
vermis
medial portion of cerebellum
-connects the sides
nodulus
toward midline from the flocculus
flocculus
above tonsil
-follow this to the nodulus
tonsil of cerebellum
bump hanging off cerebellum
arbor vitae
the branching of nerve tissue within cerebellum
cerebellar peduncles
superior, middle, and inferior
sagittal slice
dividing into left and right portions
coronal slice
dividing into front and back portions
horizontal or transverse slice
dividing into top and bottom portions
corpus callosum
center “c” within a sagittal slice
-below the limbic lobe
divisions of corpus callosum
rostrum, genu, trunk, sulcus, splenium
anterior commissure
most anterior portion of the corpus callosum
ventricles
3rd, 4th, and lateral
lateral ventricles
wraps around the thalamus
3rd ventricle
between the two thalami
4th ventricle
posterior to pons and medulla
septum pellucidum
space within the corpus callosum
brainstem structures
midbrain, pons, medulla
