Lab Exam 4 (ch 11&12) Flashcards
Facilitate formation of the blood brain barrier in the CNS
Astrocytes
Myelinate axons in the CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Myelinate axons in the PNS
Schwann Cells
Act as phagocytes in the CNS
Microglial Cells
Circulate and secrete cerebrospinal fluid in the CNS
Ependymal Cells
Surround and support cell bodies in the PNS
Satellite Cells
Consists of cranial nerves and spinal nerves
Peripheral Nervous System
Consists only the brain and spinal cord
Central Nervous System
Afferent
Sensory
Efferent
Motor
Voluntary motor control
Somatic nervous system
Visceral involuntary control
Autonomic nervous system
Fight or flight response that mobilizes the body during activity
Sympathetic
Rest and digest state to conserve energy
Parasympathetic
A groove or furrow, especially within the surface of the brain
Sulcus
A ridge or cleft between two clefts on the central surface of the brain
Gyrus
A deeper groove on brain
Fissure
the primary commissural region of the brain consisting of white matter tracts that connect the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
Corpus callosum
planning and executing movement,
complex mental processes (conscience,
personality, problem solving)
Frontal lobe
processing and integrating
sensory information, attention
Parietal lobe
hearing, smell, memory, emotion, some language aspects
Temporal lobe
primary visual cortex
Occipital lobe
lots of effects. seen by prying the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes apart; taste and visceral sensations
Insula (lobe)
Broca’s Area location and function
Frontal lobe and language production
Wernicke’s area function and location
Temporarl lobe and language comprehension
separates two sides of brain
Longitudinal fissure
Frontal lobe is separated by the
Central sulcus
The most posterior part of the frontal lobe is the
Precentral gyrus
