Limbic system

Question 1

is the hypothamulus part of the diencephalon?

Answer 1

yes

Question 2

what is the role of the diencepholon? 1/2

Answer 2

intergrates sensory and motor information

• the info is filterd and refined before sending it to the cortex

Question 3

what is the role of the diencepholon? 2/2

Answer 3

Sensory relay to the cortex
-determination and directing attention to one stimulus over another

Question 4

what are the 2 roles of the diencephlon?

Answer 4

sensory relay to the cortex
integrates sensory and motor info

Question 5

what does the hypothamulsus regulate?

Answer 5

ANS, endocrine system, body temp, thirst

Question 6

the dicephalon and the hypothalamus how are they linked?

Answer 6

linked between endocrine and NS

Question 7

what does diencphalon and the hypothalamus release?

Answer 7

tropic hormones that regulate release of anterior pituitary hormones

Question 8

how does the hypothamulus regualte the pineal gland

Answer 8

through the production of melatonin (produced by the pineal gland)

it is involed in the circadum rythm and sleep and wake cycles this is thru melatonin

Question 9

what the direct inputs in the ANS controlled by the hypothamulus

Answer 9

sensory input
visceral input

Question 10

what are the indirect inputs in the ANS controlled by the hypothamulus

Answer 10

input from limbic system
Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN)
Baroreceptors and Chemoreceptors

Question 11

how does baroreceptors and chemorecpetors have an effect on the ANS thats controlled by the hypothamulus

Answer 11

Baroreceptors, which sense changes in blood pressure, and chemoreceptors, which detect changes in the chemical composition of the blood, send signals to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus processes this information and influences autonomic responses to maintain homeostasis.

Question 12

what are the structires of the limbic system?

Answer 12

amygdala
hippcampus
parts of the thalmus
parts of the hypothamulus

Question 13

what does the amygdala in the limbic system do>

Answer 13

agression centre of the brain (stimulate fearm anxierty etc)

Question 14

what does the hippcampus in the limbic system do?

Answer 14

(looks like a sea horse) forms new memories converts short term memory into long term memory

Question 15

parts of the thalmius in the limbic systme what does it do>

Answer 15

relay station

Question 16

parts pf the hypothamulus in the limbic system what does it do>

Answer 16

regualtes ANS, releasing of hormiones (adrelanine and no adrelaine)

Question 17

what does the fornix in the limbic system do>

Answer 17

connects structures)
