Relay center for sensory nerves

17
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Part of diencephalon
Controls body temperature, emotion, and pleasure center

18
Q

Pons

A

Part of brain stem
Controls breathing

19
Q

Midbrain

A

Part of brain stem
Controls vision

20
Q

Medulla Oblongata

A

Part of brain stem
Controls heart rate, swallowing, and vomiting

21
Q

Dura Matter

A

Outermost layer
Looks like leather
Under the skull bone

22
Q

Arachnoid Matter

A

Looks like a spider web
Second layer
Filled with cerebrospinal fluid
Protects the brain (from concussion) so it doesn’t hit the skull; acts as a water cushion

23
Q

Pia Matter

A

Innermost layer
Prevents bacteria from entering the brain

24
Q

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

A

Made by Epithalamus
Moved by ependymal cells
Have about ½ a cup of it

25

Q

Dopamine

A

pleasure

27
Q

Nicotine

A

Squeezes out all dopamine

28
Q

Cocaine

A

Covers dopamine recyclers
Causes pleasure for longer
Body builds more dopamine recyclers as a result
Causes no pleasure in life afterwards
