Question
Answer
The largest part of the brain consisting of 2 hemispheres   Cerebrum  
🗑
The Cerebrum is made up of ______ (external) which are convolutions of the cerebrum that are separated by _____(internal)   Gyri, Sulci  
🗑
The Cerebrum contains various ______ and large _____   Fissures, Sulci  
🗑
The Four Major Fissures or Sulci of the cerebrum are ?   1. Longitudinal Fissure 2. Transverse Fissure or sulcus 3. Lateral sulcus or Fissure 4. Central Sulcus  
🗑
Separates the right and left hemispheres and is occupied by the FALX CERIBI   Longitudinal Fissure  
🗑
Separates the cerebrum and the cerebellum and is occupied by the TENTORIUM CEREBELLI   Transverse Fissure or sulcus  
🗑
Separates the temporal Lobe from the rest of the cerebrum   Lateral sulcus or Fissure  
🗑
Separates the pre-central (motor) and the post-central (sensory) gyri   Central Sulcus  
🗑
Central Sulcus : The primary MOTOR cortex is _________ gyrus, it lies _______ to the central sulcus   pre-cetral , anterior  
🗑
Central Sulcus : The primary SENSORY cortex is _________ gyrus , it lies ______ to the central sulcus   Post-central , Posterior  
🗑
The Cerebrum consists of 5 lobes per hemisphere what are they ?   Frontal, Parietal , Occipital , Temporal, Insula  
🗑
The _____ lies within the depths of the Lateral Sulcus (therefore if u cut open between the the temporal and the frontal you'll find it )   Insula  
🗑
Basal Ganglia(nuclei) contain the central _____ matter of the cerebrum   gray  
🗑
The Basal Ganglia(nuclei) function in control of ______ and ______   Movement, Posture  
🗑
Diseases in the Basal Ganglia(nuclei) involve disturbances in voluntary ____ control . Ex. Parkinsons , Huntingtons chorea   Muscular  
🗑
The MOST important sensory relay center of the brain is the ?   Thalamus  
🗑
The thalamus sends incoming impulses from the receptors of the body to the ?   Cerebral Cortex  
🗑
Hypothalamus literally means   Below the Thalamus  
🗑
The Hypothalamus lies between and is associated with the : (3)   1. Optic chiasma 2. Mammillary bodies 3. Pituitary glands  
🗑
Part of the Hypothalamus where the optic tracts (CNII) cross   Optic chiasma  
🗑
Part of the Hypothalamus that is the sensory synaptic station   Mammillary bodies  
🗑
Part of the Hypothalamus that projects inferior from it and secretes many hormones   Pituitary glands  
🗑
The Hypothalamus functions in the regulation of visceral activity (deep internal feelings) such as (3 categories)   1. Body temperature 2. Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism 3. Sleep, Sexual activity , and Emotions  
🗑
Cerebellum literally means   Little Brain  
🗑
The Cerebellum connects with 3 things ? (MPM)   midbrain, pons , and medulla oblongata  
🗑
The Cerebellum consists of 2 hemispheres that are separated by a ?   median vermis  
🗑
The Cerebellums outer cortex contains Folia( Leaves) that are separated by _____   Fissures  
🗑
Internally the Cerebellum presents ____ matter branching in the form of a Tree called the _____ _____   white, Arbor Vitae  
🗑
3 Functions of the Cerebellum   1. Coordinate Muscular Activity 2. Regulate muscle tone 3. Maintain Equilibrium  
🗑
The three parts of the Brainstem   1. Midbrain 2. Pons 3. Medulla Oblangata  
🗑
Brainstem: The Midbrain lies between the ____ & ____   Thalamus, Pons  
🗑
which part of the Brainstem contains the Corpora Quadrigemina   The Midbrain  
🗑
Brainstem(Midbrain): Corpora Quadrigemina consists of 4 elevations (bumps) 2 top ones are called ______ ______ and the 2 bottom ones are called _____ _____   Superior colliculi , Inferior colliculi  
🗑
Part of Corpora Quadrigemina that is involved in the pathway of vision?   The Superior colliculi  
🗑
Part of Corpora Quadrigemina that i is involved in the pathway of hearing ?   The Inferior colliculi  
🗑
The Pons act as a _____ connecting the right and left hemispheres of the cerebellum.   bridge  
🗑
Which part of the brainstem relays impulses from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum ?   The pons  
🗑
The part of the Brainstem that is directly continuous with the spinal cord and will contain most of the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord   THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA  
🗑
The Medulla Oblongata represents an area where pyramidal tract fibers lie, called the _______ ?   Pyramids  
🗑
The Pyramids contain several nuclei involved in the regulation of vital body activities: such as ? (3)   1. Respritory 2. Cardiac ( heart rate) 3. Vasomotor (blood pressure)  
🗑
