Midterm 1 review Part3

Question 1

Forebrain (What it includes and what it is known for)

Answer 1

• coretex
• basal ganlia
• olfactory
• Largest region of mamalian brain

Question 2

Cortex

Answer 2

regulates a host of mental activities ranging from perception to planning to emotions and memory. This includes the neocortex (layered, unique in mammals) and the limbic cortex (layered, not unique in mammals).

Question 3

Limbic cortex (3):

Answer 3

made of 3 structures: Amygdala (fear/emotional regulation), Hippocampus (spatial navigation, episodic memory), cingulate cortex (emotion formation and processing, learning, and memory, and it is highly influential in linking behavioral outcomes to motivation)

Question 4

The basal ganglia (what it does+ 3 structure)

Answer 4

control voluntary movement and also have a role in cognitive functioning. Consist of three principal structures: the caudate nucleus, the putamen, and the globus pallidus

Question 5

Forebrain: Olfactory system

Answer 5

sends most of its inputs from olfactory bulb to a specialized region, the piriform cortex

Question 6

The ENS

What it controls+ anxiety+where r the neurons?

Answer 6

Controls digestion, bowel mobility, blood flow.
- send info to the brain and can influence mental state
- Anxiety can modifyt gut function elading to diarrhea
- ENS neurons are located in a sheet of tissue (plexus) lining the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon

Question 7

Teleodendria

Question 8

Brodman area 17:

Answer 8

visual cortices of the occipital lobe, located in and on either side of the calcarine sulcus, on the medial surface of the occipital lobe. It functions primarily in discerning the intensity, shape, size, and location of objects in the visual field

Question 9

bipolar neuron

Answer 9

Found in retima. conduct afferent info to the visual centers of the brain

Question 10

Somatosensory neuron:

Answer 10

Afferent info into the spinal cord: bring info from body to spinal

Question 11

Pyramidal cell

Answer 11

carry info from cortex to brain and SC

Question 12

Purkinjie cell

Answer 12

infro from cerebrellum to rest of brain

Question 13

Ependymal cell

Answer 13

Excretes CSF

Question 14

Astrocytes

Answer 14

provide structural support for neurons, seal off daage site, promote healing, dialte bloof vessel

Question 15

Oligodendroglial cell

Answer 15

form myelin around axon in brain and SC
