18
Q

di - pineal gland

A

secretes melatonin (sleep patterns) and perceives light
held up by habenula

19
Q

di - thalamus

A

relay/processing center for sensory info
fornix - memory formation
mammillary body - memory

20
Q

di - hypothalamus

A

coordinates the ANS - controls thirst, appetite, body temperature
coordinates the endocrine system - secretes hormones (oxytocin & antidiuretic hormone ADH)
integrates sensory & motor commands related to emotion
pituitary glad is rests in sella turcica and is suspended by the infundibulum

21
Q

mes - corpora quadrigemina

A

integrates
vision (superior colliculi - 2)
hearing (inferior colliculi - 2)

22
Q

mes - red nucleus

A

blood filled area that maintains muscle tone & posture

23
Q

mes - substantia nigra

A

creates neurotransmitter dopamine
drop in dopamine causes increased muscle tone

24
Q

cocaine

A

mes - binds/blocks the transporter & dopamine stays on the postsynaptic receptors

25
Q

parkinsons disease

A

mes - too much or too little dopamine causing oppositional muscles to fire and tremors

26
Q

mes - cerebral peduncles

A

support cerebrum and attach to brainstem
connect tel & met through white matter

27
Q

met - cerebellum

A

coordinates postural/skeletal muscles
programming of subconscious/repetitive movements
two hemispheres & vermis (worm structure separating)
folia - folds
arbor vitae - grey-white matter pattern
purkinje cells - highly branched cells giving cerebellum dark look
cerebellar peduncles - links cerebellum to brainstem & pons, allow communication between -bellum & pons
4th ventricle

28
Q

met - pons

A

4 CNs (V, VI, VII, VIII)
respiratory fine-tuning center
sleep paralysis

29
Q

mye - medulla oblongata

A

transition from to brain to spinal cord (switch of grey/white matter),
5 CNs (VII,IX, X, XI, XII)
autonomic centers for visceral function
- cardiovascular - heart rate
- respiratory - breath rate
- digestive systems - GI tract speed
compression within foramen magnum can lead to death
4th vent terminates here for central canal to run

30
Q

grey matter redox -brum&-bellum

A

neuron bodies make up the cortex/cortical surface or non-cortical concentrations of cells - nucleus

31
Q

white matter redox -brum&-bellum

A

association/arcurate fibers - btw. gyri within a hemisphere
commissural fibers btw gyri of oppositional hemispheres
projection fibers ascend/descend to CNS
longitudinal fibers/fasciculi are anterior/posterior

32
Q

limbic system

A

group of brain structures that help regulate emotion/behavior
links conscious thought w/ autonomic functions of brainstem (behavior & emotional states, thirst, hunger sex)
learning & storage/recall of long-term memory

33
Q

limbic system structures

A

amygdala, brainstem, cerebrum, cerebellum, dendate gyrus, body of fornix, hippocampus, mammillary bodies, olfactory bulb, septal nuclei, thalamus, uncus.

34
Q

synesthesia

A

hereditary neurological condition, cross-wiring of nerves.
letters/numbers may be interpreted as colors, sounds can be seen, shapes have a taste

35
Q

layers of head

A

scalp - epicranius - periosteum - skull - dura mater (endosteum) - arachnoid - brain w/ pia mater

36
