Q

separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes

A

lateral sulcus

20
Q

separates the frontal and parietal lobes

A

central sulcus

21
Q

in the frontal lobe and is the primary motor area (M1)

A

precentral gyrus

22
Q

in the parietal lobe and is the primary somatosensory area of face and UE

A

postcentral gyrus

23
Q

the blank is the primary somatosensory area for LE

A

posterior paracentral gyrus

24
Q

the precentral and postcentral gyri are organized blank which means the body surface is laid out on the surface of the cerebral cortex

A

somatotypically

25
Q

the blank cortex is in the temporal lobe

A

primary auditory cortex

26
Q

uppermost gyrus of temporal lobe… damaging this results in impaired speech COMPREHENSION… aka blank

A

wernicke’s area, wernicke’s aphasia

27
Q

olfactory nerve cannot be seen blank

28
Q

primitive part of telencephalon

A

hippocampus

29
Q

part of limbic lobe in the corpus callosum

A

cingulate gyrus

30
Q

an important integrating center for autonomic functions and endocrine system and emotion

A

hypothalamus

31
Q

gland hanging from hypothalamus via the blank

A

pituitary, infundibulum

32
Q

part of brain for initiating motor output, posture, eye movement, balance,

A

basal ganglia

33
Q

part of brain for emotion, forming long term memories, stress response, arousal

A

limbic system

34
Q

damaging the hippocampus causes loss of the ability to blank

A

form new long term memories

35
Q

these connect the brain and relay signals between brain regions

A

commissures

36
Q

new blank can be grown in the blank

A

hippocampus

37
Q

three commissures

A

anterior, posterior, corpus callosum

38
Q

anterior pituitary is blank tissue

39
Q

infundibulum is made of blank tissue

A

neural (axons)

40
Q

anterior pituitary is not connected to blank

41
Q

there is a blank vein in the blank pituitary

A

portal, anterior

42
Q

major central hub of the brain (relay station)

43
Q

thalamus relays information from blank to blank

A

cortex, brainstem

44
Q

sensation, perception, movement, awareness, are all important functions of the blank

45
Q

above the thalamus and relays information between limbic system and other brain regions like circadian rhythm, olfaction, and motor response

A

epithalamus

46
Q

midbrain part that has the superior/inferior colliculi

47
Q

colliculus for visual processing

48
Q

colliculus for auditory processing
