Study Guide Kinese Exam 2 Flashcards
Divides front and back planes
Coronal
Divides left and right planes
Sagittal
Divides planes up and down
Transverse
Cortex found in frontal lobe (planning and movement)
Primary motor cortex
Responsible for somatosensory processing (parietal lobe)
Primary somatosensory cortex
Located in the temporal lobe, responsible for audition and language
Primary auditory cortex
Used for vision (cortex contained in occipital)
Primary visual cortex
In the mid sagittal plane, fissure that separates right and left brain
Longitudinal fissure
Connects the two hemispheres with white matter connections
Corpus callosum
Separates frontal and parietal lobes
Central sulcus
Separates temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes
(Sylvian) Lateral fissure
Parts of the brain stem
1) midbrain
2) pons
3) medulla
4) spinal cord
Nerves responsible for eye movement
1) oculomotor
2) trochlear
3) abducens nerves
Nerve responsible for hearing and balance
Vestibulocochlear nerve
Arteries contained in circle of Willis
1) anterior and posterior communicating arteries
2) anterior, posterior, and middle cerebral arteries
3) internal carotid artery
4) basilar artery
Outer layer (composed of periosteal and meningeal layer)
Dura mater
Middle layer
Arachnoid layer
Innermost layer before cerebral cortex
Pia mater
In the meninges and produces cerebral spinal fluid
Choroid plexus
Maintains the chemical environment
Astrocytes
Form myelin in the CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Forms microphages
Microglia
Form myelin in the PNS
Schwann cells
A current that produces the movement of an ion
Electrical signal
Excitatory action potential for synapse
Glutamate
