Nervous System Part 3 Flashcards
Bits of gray matter mix closely and intricately with white matter in the Medula
Reticular formation
Three parts of the brainstem
Medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain
Important reflex centers located in the brainstem
Cardiac, respiratory, and Vasomotor centers
Second largest part of the human
Cerebellum
Functions of the cerebellum
To produce move coordinated movements, maintain equilibrium, and sustained normal postures
Three major structures of the Dienephalon
Hypothalamus, bonus, and penial gland
Structure that controls vital functions such as heartbeat, construction in dilation of blood vessels in contractions of the stomach and intestines
Hypothalamus
Where is the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) found
Pituitary gland
Mechanism crucial for maintaining
Hypothalamus
Structure insults and functions such as regulation of water balance, sleep cycles, and the control of appetite and many emotions involved and pleasure, fear, anger, sexual arousal, and pain
Hypothalamus
Three functions and wish the thalamus performs
It helps produce in stations, it associate since Seshan’s with emotions, and it plays a part in the so-called arousal or alerting mechanism
What receives sensory information about the strength of light seen by the eyes and I just its output of the hormone melatonin
The pineal gland
What is melatonin known as
The timekeeping hormone
The riches of the brain are called what
Gyrus
The grooves of the brain are called what
Sulcus
Fissure that divides the cerebrum into right and left halves
Longitudinal fissure
Structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain
Corpus callosum
A thin layer of gray matter made up of neuron dendrites and cell bodies, forms of service of the cerebrum
Cerebral cortex
Function is essential for producing automatic movements and postures
Basal nuclei or basal ganglia
Cerebrovascular accident
Hemorrhage from a cessation of blood flow through cerebral blood vessels
Where is the auditory association area in the primary auditory area
The Temporal lobe
Where is the primary somatic motor area or the precentral gyrus
The frontal lobe
Where is the muscle coordination or premotor area
The frontal lobe
What lobe is conscious thought or the prefrontal association area
The frontal lobe
Where is the motor speech area or the Brocka area
The frontal lobe
Where is the visual cortex in the visual association area
The occipital lobe
Where is the primary taste center
The parietal lobe
Where is the primary somatic sensory area or body since perception
The parietal lobe
Where is the somatic sensory association area or body since perception
The parietal lobe
Where is Wernick’s area or sensory speech area
The parietal lobe
What does the brain stem include
Medela oblongata, Pons, midbrain, and cerebellum
What does the Diencephalon include
Hypothalamus, Delmas, pineal gland, Cerebrum
Two way conduction pathway between the spinal cord and higher brain centers; cardiac, respiratory, and Vasso motor control center
Medulla oblongata
Two way conduction pathway between areas of the brain in other regions of the body; influences respiration
Pons
Two way conduction pathway; relay for visual and auditory impulses
Midbrain
Muscle coordination; maintenance of equilibrium and posture
Cerebellum
Regulation of body temperature, water balance, sleep cycle control, appetite and sexual arousal
Hypothalamus
Sensory relay station from various body areas to cerebral cortex; emotions and alerting or arousal mechanisms
Thalamus
I just output of melatonin in response to change and external light, to keep the body’s internal clock on time
pineal gland
Sensory perception, emotions, will movements, consciousness, and memory
Cerebrum
Medulla oblongata
Gray and white matter form to form the reticular formation and it is an enlarged upward extension of the spinal cord
