CN ___ for pharynx
cranial nerve 7 - facial
cranial nerve 9 - glossopharyngeal
cranial nerve 10 - vagus
METENCEPHALON
respiratory and urinary bladder control
will also help in respiratory activity and urinary bladder
vestibular control of the eyemovement
Pons and cerebellum
METENCEPHALON: PONS
cranial nerves associated with Pons are ____
CN 5 - Trigeminal
CN 6 - Abducens
CN 7 - Facial
some of CN 8 - Vestibulocochlear
METENCEPHALON: PONS
main associated nerve of the Pons
cranial nerve 5 - trigeminal
METENCEPHALON: PONS
reflexes associated with cranial nerve V
jaw jerk reflex
corneal reflex
tearing sneezing sucking and sensation of the face
METENCEPHALON: Cerebellum/Hindbrain
mostly concerned with _______- especially rapid movement
motor coordination
METENCEPHALON: Cerebellum/Hindbrain
Responsible for equilibrium and balance
corresponds primarily to flocculondular lobe
vestibulocerebellum
METENCEPHALON: Cerebellum/Hindbrain
responsible for motor learning and coordination
intermediate lobe
spinocerebellum
METENCEPHALON: Cerebellum/Hindbrain
responsible for motor planning and programming
lateral cerebellum
cerebrocerebellum
METENCEPHALON: Cerebelum/Hindbrain
the cerebellum is for ________ regulation
basal ganglia is for _______ regulation
feed forward
feedback
MESENCEPHALON : Midbrain
Cranial Nerves associated with the midbrain are CN ___ and ____
CN 3 Occulomotor
CN 4 Trochlear
MESENCEPHALON : Midbrain
____________ (direct and consensual reflexes) by flashing a light
sensory is CN ___ and motor is CN ___ that will produce pupillary constriction
Pupillary reflex
sensory is CN II
motor is CN III
MESENCEPHALON: Midbrain
CN which has no nucleus because it is CN I (OLFACTORY) AND CN II (OPTIC) because it is __________
cortical
DIENCEPHALON
sensory and motor relay to the cerebral cortex
visual inputs (CN II)
are of higher center responsbile for maintenance of consciousness
thalamus
DIENCEPHALON
generally made up of pineal gland
concerned with the sleep-wake cycle
responsible for biologic rhythm
epithalamus
DIENCEPHALON
helps regulate motor activity of the basal ganglia
releases glutamate
subthalamus
DIENCEPHALON
THALAMIC NUCLEI
somatic sensations of the body except the face
ventral posterolateral
DIENCEPHALON
THALAMIC NUCLEI
somatic sensations of the face
ventral posteromedial
DIENCEPHALON
THALAMIC NUCLEI
provides information to the basal ganglia (motor regulation of the body)
ventral anterior
