the brain

Question 1

cerebrum

Answer 1

o located on the outside of the cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain: The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain, made up of tightly packed neurons. It’s also known as the brain’s gray matter.

Question 2

longitudinal fissure

Answer 2

runs down the middle of the brain, and separates the left and right hemispheres

Question 3

central sulcus

Answer 3

o Is a prominent groove that is on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere, and between the parietal and frontal lobes

Question 4

lateral sulcus

Answer 4

o Is known also as the lateral fissure or Sylvian fissure, is a deep groove in the cerebral cortex

Question 5

parieto-occipital sulcus

Answer 5

o The medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere, is where the parietal and occipital lobes meet

Question 6

frontal lobe

Answer 6

is at the front of the head, directly behind the forehead

Question 7

parietal lobe

Answer 7

in the top rear section of the head, is near the parietal bone and is underneath the crown of the skull

Question 8

temporal lobe

Answer 8

is in the middle cranial fossa of the brain and is close to the base of the skull. Is situated behind the hears, above the brain stem and cerebellum and below the lateral fissure

Question 9

occipital lobe

Answer 9

is a the back of the skull, is under the occipital bone, and above the hollow base of the skull

Question 10

insula

Answer 10

is located deep within the lateral sulcus of each hemisphere. you must take away the top layer of the brain before you can see it

Question 11

precentral gyrus

Answer 11

o Is located on the lateral surface of the frontal lobe, in front of the central sulcus and extending to the precentral sulcus

Question 12

postcentral gyrus

Answer 12

o Is in the parietal lobe of the brain, on the lateral surface, and is between the central sulcus and the postcentral sulcus.

Question 13

corpus callosum

Answer 13

o Is located in the middle of the brain, deep within the longitudinal fissure. Is a thick bundle of nerve fibers that connect the left and right hemispheres to each other.

Question 14

diencephalon

Answer 14

thalamus
hypothalamus
- infundibulum
- pituitary gland

Question 15

thalamus

Answer 15

o Is located in the center of the brain, above the brainstem and medial to the cerebral hemispheres

Question 16

infundibulum

Answer 16

 Is located in multiple places in the body, in the brain it connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland in the hypothalamus-pituitary complex. Contains nerve axons and vasculature

Question 17

pituitary gland

Answer 17

 Is at the base of the brain, behind the nose, and in an indention of the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica

Question 18

Pineal gland

Answer 18

is in the middle of the brain just above the thalamus

Question 19

brain stem

Answer 19

midbrain
pons
medulla oblongata

Question 20

midbrain

Answer 20

superior and inferior colliculi

Question 21

superior colliculi

Answer 21

 Is located in the midbrains, on the posterior side, and is above the inferior colliculi. One colliculi on each side of the brainstem

Question 22

inferior colliculi

Answer 22

 In the midbrain, of on the dorsal surface, is situated just below the superior colliculi

Question 23

pons

Answer 23

o Is in the brainstem, is between the mid-brain and the medulla oblongata

Question 24

medulla oblongata

Answer 24

o Is at the base of the brain, is where the brainstem connects to the spinal cord.
