The Brain Pt 2 Flashcards
what is responsible for the integration of conscious and unconscious sunsory information and motor commands?
diencephalon
what consists of the epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus
diencephalon
what contains the pineal gland and chorid plexus?
the epithalamus
what does the pineal fland produce?
melatonin
what filters and projects somatic and special sensory information to cerebrum?
thalamus
T: Lateral geniculate nucleus:
projects visual info to visual cortex
T: Medial geniculate nucleus:
projects auditory info to auditory cortex
what is responsible for: Motor control: relay between cerebral cortex, basal nuclei, and cerebellum (ventral nuclei)
thalamus
what Influences emotions (anterior, medial, and lateral nuclei contribute to limbic system)?
thalamus
what is responsible for neurosecretory coordination?
hypothalamus
what responds to neural stimuli, hormones, blood/CSF chemical stimuli?
hypothalamus
what has the major functions of autonomic coordination, physiological drives(hunger and thirst), memory, regulaiton of body temp, circadian rythyms, and emotional behavior and sexual responsw?
hypothalamus
what coordinates information between cerebraum and diencephalon?
the limbic system
what has the functions of establishing emotional state and rives, as well as linking cerebrum (conscious) with brainstem (unconscious), mitivation and drive, as well as memory retreival?
limbic system
of the limbic system what does the amygdaloid body do?
emotions–> memory
of the limbic system what does the hippocampus do?
memory storage and retreival
what cointains the basal nuclei and cerebral cortex?
the gray matter of the cerebrum
what is responsible for neural wiring, prijection, commissural, and association tracts?
the cerebrum white matter
what processes sensory information, directs control over subconscious movement and indirect control and modification of conscious movement?
basal nuclei
what has two distinct hemispheres?
cerebral cortex
what is coordinated by the corpus collasum and has specific areas that control specific functions?
cerebral cortex
what is it called when there is a stroke in Wernickes area(general interpreatation) and people can speak bun dont understand?
receptive aphasia
what is it called when there is a stroke in Broca’s area(speech) and people can understand but cant speak?
expressive aphasia
