Quiz 6 (final) Flashcards
Find in subarachnoid space; clear fluid; carry oxygen and nutrients through the brain; absorbs shock and protects the brain and spinal cord
Cerebrospinal fluid
Makes very strong separation of what’s in the brain from outside of the brain;should keep bacteria out
Blood brain barrier
Water on the brain; damage to the arachnoid mater
Hydrocephalus
Cranial meninges
- Dura mater
- Arachnoid mater
- Pia mater
Blood supply
- Internal carotid arteries
- Vertebral arteries
- Internal jugular veins
Where is CSF made
Lateral ventricals
Flow of CSF
Start in lateral ventricle and ends in SAS
Brain stem (3)
- Midbrain
- Pons
- Medulla oblongata
On/off switch for breathing; connects to cerebellum
Pons
Regulates and directs ascending and descending tracts; cranial nerve originate
Medulla oblongata
Little brain
Cerebellum
Posture, equilibrium, and balance
Cerebellum
Deep in the center midline
Diencephalon
Diencephalon (3)
- Epithalamus
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
Pineal gland and emotional response to smell
Epithalamus
Relay, directs all sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex ( pain, touch, and pressure)
Thalamus
Controls and connects to pituitary gland; controls ANS, coordinates between NS and endocrine system, body temp
Hypothalamus
What gland is attached to the hypothalamus
Pituitary gland
Brain represents: (3)
2% total body weight
20% body’s blood supply
20% consummation of the O2 and glucose
Primary somatosensory area is located:
Parietal lobe
Primary motor area is located:
In front edge of frontal lobe
Where pyramids cross in brain stem, in medulla oblongata
Decussation
Controls the rate and rhythm of breathing
Respiratory rhythmic center
A lot of incoming sensory neurons, consciousness, filter out unimportant stuff, in thalamus
Reticular activating system (RAS)
Grooves on the brain (up)
Convolutions/gyri
Grooves on the brain going down deep
Sulcus/fissure
Located behind frontal bone, does executive functions ( self control, planning, and reasoning)
Frontal lobe
Upper sides of skull
Parietal lobe
Lower sides of skull
Temporal lobe
Back of the skull
Occipital lobe
How much of the brain is designated to different areas (little man)
Sensory/motor homunculus map
What connects the hemispheres
Corpus collosum
