Week 2 Neuroanatomy Overview Flashcards
Peripheral nervous system
cranial nerves spinal nerves autonomic ns enteric ns
Central nervous system
brain spinal cord
Main divisions of the developing CNS
prosencephalon, mesencephalon, rhombencephalon
Prosencephalon is made of
telencephalon and diencephalon
Telencephalon becomes
cerebral hemispheres cerebral cortex subcortical white matter basal ganglia nasal forebrain nuclei
Dienchaphalon becomes
thalamus hypothalamus epithalamus
Mesencephalone (midbrain) becomes
cerebral peduncles midbrain tectum midbrain tegmentum
Phombencephalon (hindbrain) is made of
metencephalon and myelencephalon
mesencephalon becomes
pons and cerebellum
my encephalon becomes
medulla

Developing CNS
What CN derived from midbrain
trochlear nerve
What is the only nerve to exit the brain on dorsal surface
trochlear
What part of the brain is olfactory nerve associated with
frontal lobe

Divisions of the brain stem and associated cranial nerves
Afferent =
arriving (dorsal side)
Efferent =
Exiting (ventral side)

Spinal nerves and what part of spine they are associated with

Nerve shiz (tbt MSCT)
Sympathetic division NS response
Fight or Flight
Pupil dilation
Bronchodilation
Cardiac acceleration
Inhibition of digestion
Piloerection
Stimulaiton of glucose release
Systemic vasoconstriction
Parasympatheric NS response
Rest or digest
Pupil constriction
Bronchoconstriction
Cardiac decelleration
Stimulation of digestion
Intestinal vasodilation

Sypathetic division

Parasympathetic division

frontal
parietal
temporal
