Unit 3: Brain Flashcards
nerves have different function
primary sensory, motor, or integrative
2 types of tissue
nerves: Functional unit, integration and glia: supportive cells
white matter
prepoderance of axons that are myelinated with different glia, form connection with cell bodies to distal part of brain
grey matter
nerves lumped together, preponderance of cell bodies and unmyelinated processes; in sheet=cortex; in cluster: nuclei, some nuclei are named
corpus callosum
connects hemispheres, fiber of cerebral white matter
4 general divisions
cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem, spinal cord
2 hemispheres
composed of neural cortex, divided into lobes, connected to diencephalon and bs
brodmann map
defines functional regions that have similar nerve cell arrangements and features, layers have functional significance
central sulcus
anterior precentral (primary motor), postcental posterior (primary sensory), lateral sulcus, separates lobes
pineal body
regulates circadean rhythms
corpa quadrigemma
important for visual and auditory reflex
CN1
smells
Cn2
sees
CN 3,4,6
moves eyes, cn3 pupil constriction
CN5
feels front of head, chews
CN7
moves face, taste, salivates, cries
CN8
hears, regulate balance
CN9
taste, salivate, swollow, monitor carotid body and sinus
CN10
gut, lungs, heart, tastes, swallow, talks
CN11
moves neck muscle, shrug shoulder
CN12
moves tongue
cerebellum
regulate and coordinates movement, anterior, posterior lobe and vermis
5 division of adult brain
telencephaloon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metenecphalon, myelencephalon, spinal cord
spinal cord
relay station, extends from foramen magnum to L1-L2, reflexive information
adult structure location
telencephalon (cerebral hemisphere), diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus), mesencephalon (midbrain), metencephalon (pons and cerebellum) myelencephalon (medulla)
Frontal lobe
thinkin, planning, executive function, motor execution
Parietal lobe
somatosensory perception integration of visual and somatospacial information
Temporal lobe
Language function and auditory perception involved in long term memory and emotion
Occipital lobe
Visual perception and processing
Tegmentum
Part of midbrain, general structure orgin of CN 3, 4
Tectum
part of midbrain, Corpora quadrigemma auditory and visual reflexes
