Week 3 Cerebral Hemispheres Flashcards
Frontal lobes
The a regions of the cerebral hemisphere, one in each that are anterior to the central fissures
Parietal lobes
The 2 regions of the cerebral hemispheres, one in each hemisphere that are posterior to the central fissures and superior to the lateral fissures
Temporal lobes
The 2 regions of the cerebral hemispheres, one in each, that are inferior to the lateral fissures
Temporal lobes
The 2 regions of the cerebral hemispheres, one in each, that are inferior to the lateral fissures
Occipital lobes
The 2 regions of the cerebral hemisphere that are at the posterior pole of each hemisphere
Corpus callosum
By far, the largest cerebral commissar; it is composed of 200 million axons.
Primary sensory areas
Areas of cerebral cortex that receive most of their input from the thalami relay nuclei of a single sensory system most of their output goes to adjacent secondary sensory areas of the the same item
Secondary sensors areas
Areas of sensory cortex that receive their input from one primary sensory area and from other secondary are as of the same system; there are several secondary sensory areas adjacent to each primary sensory area
Primary motor areas
Areas of motor cortex that send most of their output to cortical and spinal motor circuits. Much of their input comes from adjacent secondary motor areas.
Secondary motor areas
Areas of motor cortex that sent much of their output to areas of primary motor cortex. Much of their input comes from association cortex.
Secondary motor areas
Areas of motor cortex that sent much of their output to areas of primary motor cortex. Much of their input comes from association cortex.
Association are
Areas of cerebral cortex that receive input from more than one sensory system, typically, via areas of secondary sensory cortex, much of their output goes to areas of secondary motor cortex
