Q

what are the principal structures of the midbrain and what are their functions

A

Q

what are the developmental subdivisions of the hindbrain

A
  • metencephalon
  • myencephalon
17
Q

what are the principal structures located in the hindbrain

A
  • cerebellum
  • pons
  • medulla oblongata
18
Q

what is the function of the cerebellum

A
  • control of balance
  • co-ordination and timing of postural and locomotor activities
19
Q

what is the function of the corpus collosum

A

The major connection between hemispheres, allows communication.

20
Q

what is the function fo the thalamus

A
  • major relay station for sensory information
  • integration of motor information from cerebellum and basal ganglia, before passing on to the motor regions of the cortex
21
Q

what is the functions of the pons

A

sleep, arousal

22
Q

what is the function of the medulla oblongata

A

heart rate, breathing, blood pressure

23
Q

what is the function of hypothalamus

A
  • link between the nervous system and endocrine system
  • regulatory centre for the ANS
  • homeostasis of: appetite, reproduction, thirst, body temp, blood pressure, circadian rhythm, stress response
24
Q

what is the function of th pituitary gland

A
  • hormonal regulation of many physiological systems
    eg: metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, etc…
25
Q

what is the function of the hippocampus

A

Memory generation, particularly spatial.

26
Q

what is the function of the cerebral cortex

A
  • planning of movement
  • proprioception
  • learning
27
Q

what is the function of the basal ganglia

A

coordination of movement

28
Q

what is the function of the limbic system

A

emotion, learning and memory

29
Q

what is the function of the tectum tegmentum

A
  • visual reflexes
  • audition
  • sleep
  • arousal
  • pain
  • part of motor systm
30
Q

what is the function of the pineal gland

A
  • production of melatonin
  • seasonal regulation (sleep/wake cycle, reproduction, fur colour changes)
31
Q

what do you see in cerebellar diseases

A

loss of fine tuning of movements of the body
clinical signs include:
- ataxia
- hypermetria (with preservation of strength)
- intention tremor
- broad based stance

32
Q

what is cerebellar hypoplasia

A

caused by feline panleucopenia virus
results in an underdeveloped cerebellum (very small)
