Medulla Oblongota
Life supporting reflexes- breathing, heart rate, swallowing, vomiting
-contains ascending and descending nerve tracts
Contains decussation
decussation
crossing over
where is the corpora quadrigenina located
Midbrain
What are the two parts of the corpora quadrigemina
superior colliculi and inferior colliculi
What is the superior colliculi’s job
Visual reflex center- controls eye movement
Inferior colliculi
auditory input- move your head and eyes to where the sound was
what is the substantial nigra part of?
basal ganglia of the Midbrain
what disease do you get if your substantial nigra is severed?
Parkinson’s disease
cerebellum
Movement, balance, learning motor skills
What would happen if you damaged the cerebellum?
Jerky movements and intention tremors
Diencephalon is made up of what?
Thalamus, epithalamus, and hypothalamus
Thalamus
Relay for sensor information- sensory info synapses here before projecting to cerebrum
What are 2 parts of the thalamus?
Medial geniculate nucleus and lateral geniculate nucleus
Medial geniculate nucleus
auditory information
lateral geniculate nucleus
visual information
epithalamus is made up of what two things
habenula and pineal body
Pineal body functions
Melatonin
Melatonin
sleep, antioxidant(shift workers, alzheimers), delays onset of puberty
what delays onset of puberty?
melatonin
Habenula
emotional responses to odors/smell memory and other stuff
what does the pineal gland secrete?
melatonin
Hypothalamus
Regulation of body temp, thirst and hunger, helps regulate ANS functions, regulates endocrine function( growth hormone, thyroid hormone ect)
Precentral gyrus is AKA
primary motor cortex
Post central guru is AKA
primary somatic sensory cortex
frontal lobe functions
voluntary motor function, motivation, aggression, mood, personality
parietal lobe functions
reception and evaluation of sensory touch
Occipital lobe functions
reception and integration of visual input
