midterm 3 Flashcards
Area where is cerebral spinal fluid is produced
Choroid plexus
Known as the relay station for sensory impulses
thalamus
Regulates the body temp, controls water balance and regulates metabolism
hypothalamus
the are that regulates our breathing
pons
area the is involved in our ability to speak
broca’s area
fine tunes, coordinates & stores learned patterns of skeletal Muscle movement & provides involuntary coordination of body movements
cerebellum
contains important control centers: cardiac, vasomotor, respiratory
medulla obloganta
reflex centers for vision and hearing
corpora quadrigma
Regulate the endocrine system and attaches to the hypothalamus
pituitary gland
affects daily rhythms by releasing the hormone melatonin in the absence of light
pineal gland
innervates the medial, superior, inferior rectus muscles and inferior oblique muscles of the eye
oculomotor
receives sensory info from the nose, conducting the sense of smell
olfactory
innervates the lateral rectus eye muscles
abducens
receives sensory information from the abdomen, thorax, neck, and root of tongue: conducts motor info to the pharynx& larynx and controls autonomic functions of heart, digestive organs, spleen and kidneys
vagus
innervates intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscle
hypoglossal
receives fast and touch sensation from posterior tongue and innervates with the pharynx muscles & parotid gland
glossopharyngeal
carries visual stimulus from eyes to thalamus
optic
Controls movement of superior oblique muscles
trochlear
Innervates muscles of facial expression, lacrimal gland, salivary glands and 2/3 taste on anterior portion of tongue
facial
Controls the muscles of mastication and sensation from face
trigeminal
