Gross Brain, Meninges, and Cranial Fossa Flashcards
frontal lobe
primary motor and personality area
parietal lobe
primary sensory and integration area
occipital lobe
primary visual area
temporal lobe
auditory, speech, olfactory, memory
cerebellum
fine motor coordination
pons
CN nuclei and tracts between cerebrum and berebellum
medulla
BP and respiration regulation
corpus callosum
middle brain feature
fibers connecting cerebral hemispheres
thalamus
middle brain feature
relay station for senses (not olfaction)
hypothalamus
middle brain feature
center for autonomic and endocrine function
pituitary gland
middle brain feature
homeostasis
mammillary bodies
middle brain feature
nuclei related to emotions
which CN cannot be seen on ventral brain surface
CN IV
CNs exiting ventral brain
I: axons only, not n
III: btwn post cerebral and sup cerebellar a
VII and VIII: together
inf olive separates IX and X from XII
ICA
enters carotid canal and makes 90 degree turn
ascends in foramen lacerum
enters cavernous sinus
supplies ant and middle brain
vertebral a
ascends thru trans foramina of C6 and above, 90 degree turn, enters foramen magnum, forms basilar a, supplies posterior brain
what structures are in parotid gland
retromandibular v
ECA
CN VII
what forms retromandibular v, and where does it drain
superficial temp v and maxillary v
drains to EJV and IJV
ECA
distal portion is deep in gland, runs with retromand v (a is more medial), splits posterior to mandibular neck (superficial temp a and maxillary v)
what is contained in carotid sheath, and where is it located
ICA, IJV, CN X
deep to parotid bed
