16
Q

Occipital lobe

A
visual input
 intensity of light
shape 
movement 
colour

relates past visual experiences with recognition & evaluation

17
Q

Brainstem

A

sensory and motor pathways and nuclei of cranial nerves

medulla -control centre

pons-relay station

midbrain- intergrates sensory information with motor output connecting forebrain to hindbrain to make fine adjustments to movement

18
Q

Diencephalon

A

thalumus and hypothalamus

19
Q

Thalamus

A

principal relay station for sensory input
interprets some crude sensations

organises cerebral function by transmitting impulse to and from appropriate areas in the cerebrum

20
Q

Hypothalumus

A

Regulates homeostasis through influence on autonomic system & pituitary gland

regulates:
temperature
appetite
BP
BR
sleep
pituitary gland secreation
21
Q

Limbic system

A

amydalga- controlling emotional response

hippocampus formation of memories

cingulate gyrus-cordinates smells and sights with pleasant memories, induces an emotional reaction to pain, and helps regulate aggressive behavior.

22
Q

Cerebullum

A

produce smooth, coordinated movement and balance through perceptive input from the sensory system and interacts with motor cortex receiving information about movement
controls posture
maintains equilibrium
coordination movement on its own side

23
Q

Gyri

A

a ridge or fold ion the cerebrum

24
Q

Fissure

A

longditidinal fissure dived the left hemisphere and the right hemnisphere of the brain

25
Q

Sulcus

A

depression or groove in the cerebral cortex surronding a Gyri

26
Q

Gray

A

in the living brain, contains the cell bodies, dendrites and axon terminals of neurons, so it is where all synapses are.

27
Q

White

A

White matter is made of axons connecting different parts of grey matter to each other.

28
Q

Spinal nerce

A

Sensory afferent

motor efferent

29
Q

corpus callosum

A

thick band of nerve fibers
divides the cerebral cortex lobes into left and right hemispheres.
connects the left and right sides of the brain
allowing for communication between both hemispheres
