Sheep Brain Dissection Flashcards
protective sheets of tissue that surround the brain and spinal chord
mininges
toughest, outer layer on mininges
dura mater
middle layer, filled with cs fluid of mininge
arachnoid mater
delicate, inner layer of mininge
pia mater
direction towards the middle of the brain
medial
direction toward the edges of the brain
lateral
lobe for higher cognitive processing, executive function
frontal lobe
lobe for touch, speech
parietal lobe
lobe for speech, memory, hearing
temporal lobe
lobe for vision
occipital lobe
major subdivision of brain responsible for motor learning and balance
cerebellum
largest major subdivision of brain
cerebrum
major subdivision of brain connected to the spinal chord
brain stem
major subdivision of brain that separates the two hemispheres
longitudinal fissure
colliculus responsible for auditory processing
inferior colliculus
colliculus responsible for visual processing
superior colliculus
located dorsal to the superior colliculus, produces melatonin
pineal gland
most ventral ventricle that flows into the spinal chord
4th ventricle
branching
arborization
shock aborper of the brain and medium for exchange of nutrients
CSF
crosses visual input to contralateral sides of the brain
optic chiasm
brain part responsible for motivation
hypothalamus
brain stem part responsible for balance and sleep
pons
brain stem part responsible for heart rate and respiration
medulla
major axon projections from hippocampus
fornix
connects 3rd and 4th ventricles
cerebral aquaduct
seat of the soul
descartes
