Q

The ________ _________ is simply a fluid filled space bounded by the Thalamus & hypothalamus laterally

A

Third ventricle

17
Q

The __________ is a neuron relay center as well as having control over many autonomic & endocrine functions

A

Diencephalon

18
Q

Largest lobes (about 35% of the cerebrum)

A

Frontal lobes (Rt. and Lt.)

19
Q

The frontal lobe is separated from the parietal lobe by the:

A

Central sulcus

20
Q

The frontal lobe is separated from the temporal lobe by the:

A

Lateral sulcus (Sylvian sulcus)

21
Q

Our frontal lobes are beat known for their role as both “thought elaborating” centers and as:

A

Voluntary motor initiating centers

22
Q

The corpus callosum is full of neuron axons that connect rt. & lt. cerebral hemispheres. Such structures connecting equivalent halves of the CNS are often termed _____________

A

Commissures

23
Q

These lobes are sandwiched between each of the other lobes

A

Parietal lobes

24
Q

They include a post central gyrus, superior & inferior parietal lobules. The inferior parietal lobule is primnarily made up of the supramarginal & angular gyri

A

Parietal lobes

25
Q

Within this lobe one “feels” such modalities as light touch, deep touch (pressure), pain, temp. changes & kinesthetic input

A

Parietal lobe

26
Q

In this lobe you are also able to associate many inputs from other lobes in order to develop skills such as reading & writing

A

Parietal lobe

27
Q

These are small lobes with indistinct lateral & inferior boundaries

A

Occipital lobes (rt. and lt.)

28
Q

Sight & memory of past sight experience are received, built up, stored, & associated here:

A

Occipital lobes

29
Q

Like the frontal lobes the ________ lobes are subdivided into distinct superior, middle, & inferior temporal gyri

A

Temporal lobes

30
Q

Auditory reception, interpretation & memory center are some functions of this lobe:

A

Temporal lobe

31
Q

Much of our behavior control mechanism s tied up along the medially located hippocampal formation of this lobe:

A

Temporal lobe

32
Q

The _____ is a significant olfactory interpretation area

A

Uncus

33
Q

Posterior enlargement just dorsal to the pons & medulla

A

Cerebellum

34
Q

Embryologically it is apart of the hindbrain (rhombencephalon) along with the medulla oblongata & pons.

A

Cerebellum

35
Q

The fluid filled space between the pons, medulla, & the cerebellum is known as the:

A

4th ventricle

36
Q

Plays a major role in maintaining muscle tone & in seeing that our voluntary movements are effective

A

Cerebellum (Does not initiate gross movements but aids in making them smooth & harmonious)
