T3 - Brain Anatomy Flashcards
Part of the brain that is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as judgement, voluntary eye movement, access to current sensory data, and the ability to develop long term goals.
Frontal Lobe
Lobe in control of hand eye coordination?
Parietal
Lobe in control of balance, taste and smell and sound interpretation.
Temporal lobe
Lobe that you need to think of if a seizure happens:
Temporal lobe
Lobe in which receptive aphasia occurs after damage:
Temporal
Which lobe receives data from the skin like pain, heat, cold or pressure?
Parietal
Where is Broca’s area?
Frontal Lobe
What can damage to broca’s area cause?
Expressive aphasia
I cant express myself how I want to ‘cause I’m BROKE
Covering of spinal cord and brain itself?
Meninges
3 layers of meninges?
Dura Mater
Arachnoid Mater
Pia Mater
How many bones in brain?
4
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
How many fossae in brain?
3 depressions in base of skull
Anterior, middle, posterior
_________ fossae Contains the frontal lobes.
________ fossae
Contains the temporal, parietal & occipital lobes
_________ fossae
Contains the brainstem & cerebellum
Anterior
Middle
Posterior
Directly beneath the skull, consists of two layers. The outermost adheres to the skull. The inner layer extends into the cranial space.
Dura MAter
Delicate, fragile membrane that surrounds the brain. Below this is the subarachnoid space which consists of a fine web-like structure that connects to the pia mater. CSF and cerebral arteries and veins are located here.
Arachnoid membrane
the innermost portion of the meninges, it follows all of the folds and convolutions of the brain’s surface.
Pia Mater
Midbrain
Pons
Medulla
make up the
brainstem
The largest portion of the brain. It has two hemispheres which are linked by the corpus callosum which provides for the communication between the two hemispheres.
cerebrum
Motor strip for opposite side of body. - muscle movement
frontal lobe
Cannot understand words:
Receptive aphasia
Cannot make words:
Expressive aphasia
Auditory, visual and sensory hallucinations
would come from which lobe
Temporal
Located at the rear of the brain (ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS VISION)
occipital lobe
Damage to this lobe causes blindness?
Occipital
Lobe that makes you blush readily when embarrassed , and get clammy hands from stage fright
Limbic Lobe
Involved in the formation of long-term memory, and is closely associated with the olfactory structures.
Limbic system
- Cingulate gyrus
- Fornix
- Anterior thalamic nuclei
- Hypothalamus
- Amygdaloid nucleus
- Hippocampus
All these are parts of:
limbic system
The posterior part of the forebrain that connects the midbrain with the cerebral hemispheres, encloses the third ventricle, and contains the thalamus and hypothalamus.
diencephalon
- Epithalamus & pineal gland
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
Where do these 3 things Live?
Diencephalon
What is the relay station of the brain?
Thalamus
“The thalamus is called the gateway to the cerebral cortex, as nearly all sensory inputs pass through it to the higher levels of the brain.”
Respiratory center of the brain
Pons and medulla
Who regulates temperature
Anterior & posterior hypothalamus
Muscle memory comes from
cerebellum
Personality, judgement, abstract reasoning, social behavior, language expression, movement, speech
Frontal lobe
Lobe: visual stimuli
occipital
Lobe: hearing, language and comprehension, storage and recall of MEMORIES
temporal
sensations and body awareness
parietal
contains thalamus and hypothalamus
diencephalon
what does hypothalamus regulate
temp control pit hormone production appetite thirst water balance
what does thalamus do
relays sensory impulses
plays important part
conscious pain awareness
located at the back of the brain below occipital lobes
cerebellum
facilitates coordinated muscle movement and equilibrium
cerebellum
Primary pathway for nerve impulses traveling between peripheral areas of body and brain
spinal cord
What contains the reflex arc
spinal cord
Ascending tracks that transmit impulses up the spinal cord to higher sensory centers
dorsal white matter
Descending motor tracts are contained by:
ventral white matter
