PPT 13 Neuroanatomy Flashcards
conduit for information to and from the brain
Central Nervous system
composed of the brain and spinal cord
Central nervous system
carries sensory and motor information to and from the body and cns
peripheral nervous system
the cerebrum is composed of ___ matter and ____ matter
grey and white
made up of cell bodies
grey matter
nerve tracts that connect parts of nervous system, myelin
white matter
what are the groove in the cortex called
sulci and fissures
bulges in cortex are termed
gyri
divides the right and left hemisphere
longitudinal fissure
what are the three major sulci
lateral sulcus, central sulcus, parietooccipital
separates the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe from the temporal lobe
lateral sulci
separates the frontal lobe from your parietal lobe
central sulcus
separates your parietal lobe from your occipital lobe
parietooccipital
connect your cortex to your sub cortex to your brainstem to your spinal cord
projection fibers
starts at the cortex and end at the spinal tract
cortical spinal track
goes from the cortex to the brainstem
cortical bulbar
connect your left hemisphere to your right hemisphere
commissural fibers
one of the commissural fibers that connects the left to the right hemisphere
corpus callosum
connect structures within the same hemisphere
association fibers
_____ association fibers connect structures that are beside one another
shorter U-fibers
connects structures that are distanced from one another within the same hemisphere
longer U-fibers
list the 5 cerebral lobes
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, insular
located at the anterior aspect of both hemispheres
frontal lobes
which lobe is responsible for judgement, reasoning, personality, intellectual functioning, abstract thinking and long term memory
frontal lobes
what are the motor areas in the frontal lobe
primary motor area, supplementary motor area
important for sequencing your motor movements
supplementary motor area
aka the inferior frontal gyrus
Broca’s area
confluent speech, dsyprosody, associated with apraxia and dysarthria, comprehension better than production are all characteristics of _____
Broca’s aphasia
most of the motor movements controlled by the primary motor cortex are for your
hand, face, and oral cavity
inferior to lateral sulcus
temporal lobe
hearing center located in upper half of anterior two thirds of lobe
temporal lobe
primary auditory area is responsible for which functions
specific tone discrimination, loudness, quality of sound
