Lab 1: Brain Organization Meninges/ Ventricles Flashcards
what are Gyrus?
they are the ridges of the brain, they contain cell bodies of the neurons, dendrites, and synapses
What is the Sulcus?
the grooves of the brain. The deeps the grooves the more cortical brain depth
what is the sensory cortex responsible for?
receiving and processing sensory information from across the body such as touch, temperature, and pain
what is the parietal lobe vital for?
sensory perception and integration including taste, hearing, sight, touch and smell
what do the ventricles house?
the cerebral spinal fluid
what connects the 3rd and the 4th venticle?
the cerebral aqueduct
what produces CSF
the choroid plexus
where is CSF reabsorbed
through the arachnoid granulations into the superior sagittal sinus at the top of the falx cerebri
CSF circulation
-produced int he choroid plexus
-Lateral ventricles
-Foramen of Munroe
-the 3rd ventricle
-cerebral aqueduct
- 4th ventricle
-foramen of luscjke and magendie
-subarachnoid space
-arachnoid granulations to the dural venous sinus
what are the layers of the meninges
1) dura matter
2) arachnoid matter
3) pia matter
purpose of the meninges
- protect the brain and spinal cord
-support for important veins, arteries, and sinuses
-enclose the fluid filled cavity Subarachnoid Space containing the CSF
Parts of the Dura matter
- Falx cerebri
-Tentorium Cerebelli
what does the falx cerebri separate?
the two cerebral hemispheres
what does the Tentorium cerebelli encase?
the cerebellum
what is the supplementral motor area function
planning of movement, planning of sequences of movement, the coordination of the two sides of the body
