Question
Answer
Brain is?   show
🗑
Brain Function   show
🗑
show mainly via internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries; depriving oxygen for 4 minutes brain injury; blood returns to heart via internal jugular veins  
🗑
show Neurons synthesize ATP via aerobic cellular respiration; brain cannot store glucose; if glucose is low causes dizziness, confusion  
🗑
Parts of Brain   show
🗑
show bone=skull; fluid=cerebrospinal fluid; membranes=meninges  
🗑
dural venous sinuses   show
🗑
show a thin-walledvein that contains no smooth muscle to alter its diameter  
🗑
show Falx cerebri, Tentorium cerebellum, Falx cerebelli  
🗑
show seperates 2 hemispheres of cerebrum  
🗑
Tentorium cerebellum   show
🗑
Falx cerebelli   show
🗑
show prevents passage of many (potentially) harmful substances from blood into brain; keeps helpful drugs out  
🗑
show astrocyte processes and tight junctions between endothelial cells in brain capillaries  
🗑
Astrocytes processes (BBB)   show
🗑
Lipid soluble substances (BBB)   show
🗑
show clear, colorless fluid c-ntaining glucose, oxygen, protein, ions; 80-150ml in entire CNS  
🗑
show mechanical protection, chemical protection, and circulation  
🗑
mechanical protection (CSF)   show
🗑
show maintains optimal ion concentration for transmission of nerve impulses  
🗑
circulation (CSF)   show
🗑
show are located in each hemisphere of the cerebrum  
🗑
septum pellucidum   show
🗑
3rd ventricle   show
🗑
show connects the lateral ventricles to the 3rd ventricle  
🗑
4th ventricle   show
🗑
show connects the 3rd ventricle to 4th ventricle; conducts CSF to the central canal of the spinal cord  
🗑
choroid plexuses (CSF Formation)   show
🗑
show CSF from blood plasma by filtiration & secretion; ciliated cells help circulate CSF  
🗑
ependymal cells joined by tight junctions (CSF Formation)   show
🗑
CSF enters (CSF Formation)   show
🗑
show CSF is reabsorbed into venous blood; finger like extensions of arachnoid mater projecting into the venous sinuded of the dura mater  
🗑
show blockage of drainage of CSF due to tumor, inflammation, developmental or injury causes elevated CSF pressure and enlargements of ventricles  
🗑
show medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain  
🗑
Medulla Oblongata 1   show
🗑
cardiac center (medulla oblongata)   show
🗑
show with pons, regulates rate, depth, and rhythm of breathing  
🗑
vasomotor center (medulla oblongata)   show
🗑
show regulates coughing, vomiting, swallowing, sneezing, hiccuping  
🗑
show contains nuclei involved with taste, hearing, and equilibrium, and nuclei associated with 5 pairs of cranial nerves  
🗑
Pons   show
🗑
Midbrain 1   show
🗑
Visual reflexes (midbrain)   show
🗑
Auditroy reflexes (midbrain)   show
🗑
show control some voluntary movements (posture), subconscious movements {damage-loss of dopamine-Parkinson's disease  
🗑
show nuclei associated with 2 pairs of cranial nerves  
🗑
Reticular Formation   show
🗑
show has both sensory and motor fibers that project to cerebral cortex; helps maintain consciousness, active during awakening from sleep, motor function helps maintain muscle tone, a "filter" for important stimuli  
🗑
reticular formation permits   show
🗑
Reticular activating system (RAS)injury   show
🗑
show inferior to occipital lobes of cerebrum, posterior to brain stem; 2nd largest part of brain; highly folded cortex increases surface area for more neurons in gray matter; divided into 2 lateral hemispheres  
🗑
Cerebral cortex (step 1 edit motor activity)   show
🗑
Cerebellum (step 2 edit motor activity)   show
🗑
Cerebellum (step 3 edit motor activity)   show
🗑
Cerebral cortex (step 4 edit motor activity)   show
🗑
show monitors intentions for movement by receiving impulses from motor cortex and basal ganglia  
🗑
show monitons actual movement by recieving input from proprioceptors in muscles and joints and also from eyes and inner ear  
🗑
3. Cerebellum (movement process)   show
🗑
4. Cerebellum (movement process)   show
🗑
show maintains body in equilbrium; coordinates fine/skilled motor activites such as posture, dancing, stepping off a curb, catching a ball  
🗑
Cerebellum damage   show
🗑
show extends from brain stem to cerebrum; surrounds 3rd ventricle; consists of Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalamus  
🗑
show paired oval masses of gray matter connected by intermediate mass  
🗑
Thalamus transmits:   show
🗑
show inferior of thalamus; major center for homestasis; some parts lack BBB; monitors levels (pH, body temp, hormone levels, nutrients, osmotic pressure)  
🗑
Hypothalamus functions 1   show
🗑
show regulates rage, aggression, pain, pleasure, & arousal; feeding, thrist & satiety centers; body temp; regulates daily patterns of sleep  
🗑
show a dozen or so nuclei in four major regions, wach regulates an aspect of homestasis  
🗑
Nuclei   show
🗑
Epithalamus   show
🗑
pineal gland   show
🗑
habenular nuclei   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
