P11 ANATOMY Flashcards
the CIRCUT OF PAPEZ connects which structures
links the hippocampal gyrus , hippocampus , mammillary bodies , anterior nuclei of thalamus & cingulate gyrus
lateral hypothalamus nuclei is responsible for
food & water intake
lateral hypothalamic nuclei is also known as
feeding centre
Ventromedial nuclei is also known as
Satiety centre
paraventricular nuclei is responsible for
oxytocin synthesis
supra-optic nuclei is responsible for
Vasopressin production
supra-chiasmatic nuclei is responsible for
sleep / waking cycle
all parts of limbic system are connected to
prefrontal cortex & midbrain tegmental area
identify the structure & its function / importance
mention at least 3 subcortical structures
- amygdala
- mammillary bodies
-septal nuclei - hypothalamus
- portions of thalamus
- midbrain tegmentum
cingulate gyrus projects into parahippcampal via what fibers
fibers of cingulum
location of amygdala
close to hippocampus in temporal lobe
between inferior horn of lateral ventricle & lentiform complex
main pleasure area
septal area
thin non-neural lamina separating ant. horns of lateral ventricles
septum pellucidum
location of septal area
basal part of forebrain
action of septal nuclei is achieved via what fibers
stria medullaris thalami fibres
location of hipppocampus
floor of inferior border of temporal lobe
