Q

diencephalon

A

FRONTAL

contains: thalamus, hypothalamus

18
Q

thalamus purpose? location?

A

receives sensory information, processes it, and send it to the sensory cortex

forebrain, third ventricle, diencephalon

19
Q

hypothalamus purpose? contains? location?

A

connection between the endocrine and the nervous system, maintains homeostasis (keeping internal body temp stable), blood concentration

contains: pituitary gland and optic chiasm, mamillary bodies

forebrain, third ventricle, diencephalon

20
Q

mesencephalon

A

MID

contains: inferior and superior colliculi

21
Q

superior colliculi

A

visual-motor function, directing the body away or from visual stimuli

22
Q

periaqueductal gray

A

pain reducer

23
Q

substania nigra and red nucleus

A

important components of the sensorimotor system

24
Q

metencephalon

A

HIND

contains: pons & cerebellum

25
Q

myelencephalon

A

HIND

(medulla) most posterior division of the brain

contains: reticular formation

26
Q

reticular formation

A

100 tiny nuclei that occupys the central core of the brain stem from the posterior boundary of the myelencephalon to the anterior boundary of the midbrain

(sleep, attention, movement, maintenance of muscle tone, cardiac and circulatory, and respiratory reflexes)

27
Q

forebrain functions?

A

coordinate muscle movements, reward useful behavior. (thalamus) most sensory information onto the cerebral cortex after prioritizing it. (hypothalamus) control for appetites, defensive and reproductive behaviors and sleep wakefulness

28
Q

midbrain

A

collections of neurons that play roles in auditory and visual reflexes, central nervous system (reward mechanisms and mood)

  • (2 small hills) colliculi
  • clusters of neurons
29
Q

hindbrain

A

control respiration, heart rhythms and blood glucose level

  • cerebellum, pons, medulla, oblongata
30
Q

spinal cord

A

hermes for the brain to the body

spinal cord sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body to control the muscles and internal organs

31
Q

axon

A

send signal away

32
Q

dendrite

A

receive signals

33
Q

gray matter

A

mostly cell bodies and unmyelinated interneurons

34
Q

white matter

A

mostly myelinated axons

35
Q

peripheral nervous system

A

all the parts outside of skull and spine

36
Q

nerve

A

a collection of nerve fibers (axons) in the peripheral nervous system, bundled together and spread throughout the bod

37
Q

ganglia

A

collection of cell bodies

38
Q

central nervous system

A

in the skull and parts of the spine

proximal close to the CNS

39
Q

tract

A

a collection of nerve fibers (axons) in the central nervous system

40
Q

autonomic ganglia and nerves

A

sympathetic division, parasympathetic division

41
Q

order of ventricles

A

(on top)
lateral ventricle
third ventricle
cerebral aqueduct
fourth ventricle
(at the bottom)
