Q

which wall of the third ventricle does the hypothalamus form

A

the inferolateral wall

17
Q

what does the diencephalon contain

A

hypothalamus, thalamus and epithalamus

18
Q

what is the lentiform nucleus made of

A

putamen and globus palludus

19
Q

whencoming forward in a coronal slice of the brain which structure becomes more prominant

A

caudeate nucleus

20
Q

what is the striatum made of

A

the putamen and caudeate nucleus

21
Q

what does the basal ganglia contain

A

corpus striatum, subthalamuc nuclei and substantia nigra

22
Q

what is in the corpus striatum

A

lentiform and caudeate nuclei

23
Q

where does the basal ganglia recieve connections from

A

SN and motor cortex (through thalamus)

24
Q

what is the role of the thalamus

A

relaying sensory, motor information, cortical arousal, learning and memory

25
Q

what does damage to the hippocampus cause

A

neuroendocrine disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, bad temperature regulation and changes to levels of consciousness

26
Q

what is the flow of CSF

A

produced in the choroid plexus in each ventricle, goes through CA to the third and into the fourth. after this, there is a medial and lateral aperture for CSF to get into arachnoid space and then into the sinusus via arachnoid granulations

27
Q

what are the three cisterns and what are they for

A

interpeduncular, pontine and cerebromedullary. reservoirs of CSF

28
Q

what are emissary veins

A

facial skin around the nose and upper lip goes through ophthalamic veins into the cavernous sinus

29
Q

where does anterior cerebral artery go in the motor cortex

A

contralateral hemiplegia and damage will be in lower limb

30
Q

where does the middle cerebral artery go in the motor cortex

A

upper limb, causes contralateral hemiplegia

31
Q

what is the function of the temporal lobe

A

contains areas for sensory reception and integration of sensory information

32
Q

what is the parietal lobe responsible for

A

sensory reception and integration of the information

33
Q

frontal lobe functions

A

voluntary motor functions, language, planning, mood, personality, social judgement and smell

34
Q

what does the thalamus do

A

integrate the cerebral cortex into the rest of the features of the brain

35
Q

what does the hypothalamus do

A

homeostatic roles of all different parts of the body

36
Q

what does the epithalamus do and contain

A

attached to roof of third ventricle, contains calcium salts in adults. makes MELATONIN
