Quiz 7 (CNS + PNS) Flashcards
3 functions of CSF
mechanical protection chemical protection (blood brain barrier) circulation (provided nutrients to brain)
CSF
cerebral spinal fluid
Pathway of CSF
produced by choroid plexus (in all four ventricles) lateral ventricles intervertricular foramen third ventricle cerebral aquaduct fourth ventricle median and lateral apertures subarachnoid space arachnoid vili dural sinuses internal jugular vein
The prosencephalon composes these two structures at a 6 week embryo
telencephalon
diencephalon
Lobes of the cerebrum
frontal parietal temporal occipital insula
Frontal lobe contains this structure
precentral gyrus
parietal lobe contains this strucutre
postcentral gyrus
temporal lobe has these 2 structures
auditory and olfactory cortex
occipital lobe contains this structure
visual cortex
Location of insula
deep to the lateral sulcus
the insula contains this structure
gustatory cortex
Layers of the meninges from superficial to deep
periosteal layer (dura mater) meningeal layer (dura mater) arachnoid mater sub-arachnoid space pia mater
meninges
protective area that encloses the brain and spinal cord
dura mater
two seperate layers
leathery material
pia mater
thin layer of tissue that clings tightly to the brain
arachnoid villi
aka arachnoid granulations
projections of the arachnoid mater through the meningeal layer of the dura mater into the dural sinus where CSF is absorbed into venous blood
dural sinuses are
veins of the brain open into the sinuses which in turn deliver blood to the internal juggular vein.
dural sinuses contain these
intersitial fluid
blood vessels
Names and pathway of the dural sinuses
look up in book
Falx cerebri
meningeal layer of the dura mater that follows the longitudinal fissure and separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Tentorium cerebelli
meningeal layer of the dura mater that follows the transverse fissure and separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum
Falx cerebelli
meningeal layer of the dura mater that separates the two halves of the cerebellum
The prosencephalon becomes these two brain regions at birth
cerebrum
diencephalon
telencephalon is this region at birth
cerebrum
diencephalon is this region at birth
diencephalon
primary brain vesicle mesencephalon makes up this 6 week embryo brain structure, and this region at birth
diencephalon
Rhombencephalon makes up this two brain vesicles at 6 week embryo
metencephalon
myelencephalon
metencephalon is this region at birth
cerebellum and pons
myelencephalon is this region at birth
medula oblongata
This means ‘little brain’ in latin
cerebellum
largest part of the brain
cerebrum
conscious thought occurs here
cerebral hemispheres of the cerebrum
cerebral hemispheres
two half’s of the cerebrum that are separated by the longitudinal fissure
corpus callosum
prominent comissural bundles linking the cerebral hemispheres
septum pellucidum
thin, medial portion membrane that separates the pair of lateral ventricles
cerebral cortex
an extensive area of neural cortex covering the cerebral hemispheres
lateral sulcus
marks inferior boarder of the frontal lobe
central sulcus
deep groove that extends laterally from the longitudinal fissure
longitudinal fissure
deep fissure that seperates the cerebrum into hemispheres
transverse fissure
deep fissure that seperates the cerebrum from the cerebellar hemispheres
Diencephalon contains these major structures
epithalamus
thalamus
hypothalamus
sturucture of the epithalamus
pineal gland (body)
epithalamus
roof of the thrid ventricle
pineal gland (body)
posterior portion of epithalamus, secretes hormone melatonin
thalamus
contains most of the neural tissue in the diencephalon, forms walls that surround the third ventricle
final relay point for ascending sensory info
hypothalamus
forms the floor of the third ventricle,
extends from optic chiasma to mammillary bodies
4 structures of the hypothalamus
optic chiasma
mammillary bodies
pituitary gland
infundibulum
optic chiasma
location where the optic tracts from the eyes cross over and arrive at the brain
mammillary bodies
control feeding reflexes (licking, swallowing, ect)
pituitary gland
controls the release of many hormones,
posterior is neural tissue,
anterior is epithelial tissue
infundibulum
extends inferiorly connecting the hypothalamus to the pituitary
telencephalon and diencephalon: other names
forebrain
prosencephalon
mesencephalon: other name
midbrain
mesencephalon structures
cerebral aqueduct (mesencephalic aqueduct) tectum (corpora quadrigemina)
cerebral aqueduct other name
mesencephalic aqueduct
cerebral aqueduct
passage between the third and fourth ventricles
tectum other name
corpora quadrigemina
additonal structures of the tectum
superior (x2) and inferior (x2) colliculi
superior colliculi
integrate visual information with other sensory input,
initiate reflex responses to visual stimuli
inferior colliculi
relay auditory information to medial geniculate nuclei
initiate refles responses to auditory stimuli
describe the superior and inferior colliculi
4 small bumps on the posterior portion of the midbrain
Two other names for metencephalon
hindbrain
rhombencephalon
two other names for myelencephalon
hindbrain
rhombencephalon
2 major structures of the metencephalon
pons
cerebellum
pons functions
relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus
suconscious somatic and visceral motor centers
