Nervous System Flashcards
Largest part of brain and is divided between right and left
Cerebrum
Bridge of nerve fibers that connects one cerebral hemisphere to another
Corpus callosum
Hypothalamus and thalamus
Diencephalon
Origin and regulator of automatic nervous system
Hypothalamus
Located in the center of cerebrum, composed of two bilateral masses of gray matter
Thalamus
Coordinates motor movement
Cerebellum
Made up if medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain
Brainstem
Lowermost portion of brainstem that connects pons and spinal cord
Contains vital cardiac, vasomotor, and respiratory control centers
Medulla oblongata
Connects cerebellum to brain stem
Pons
Midbrain — also the region between diencephalon and pons
Mesencephalon
Dura mater
Arachnoid
Pía mater
Meninges — theee laters of protective membranes
Spinal nerves
C1-C8
T1-T12
L1-L5
Central nervous system
