- which part of the brain is functionally & anatomically similar to the spinal cord?
-
the brainstem
-
name the 4 structures of the brain
- cerebrum, diencephalon, brainste, and cerebellum
-
which structure is the largest and has 2 hemispheres separated by longituidinal fissure & bridged by corpus callosum (myelinated fibers)
- cerebrum
-
which is known as the higher througt process and has outer gray matter and sulci-grooves
- cerebral cortex
-
the brain stem consists of
-
midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata
-
each cerebral hemisphere has 5 lobes
- frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and insula
-
frontal results in...and insula....
- personality, judgement, behavior motor areas w/ skeletal judgement. Insula monitos internal organs and responsible for hatred
- occipital and parietal lobes
- Occipital is Vision Parietal is sensory input from skin & organs
-
- which lobe results in hearing and smell
-
temporal lobe
- which brain structure is enclosed by the cerebrum and between the cerebrum& brain stem and has Epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus
- Diencephalon
- what subdivision of diencephalonis superior to thalamus & third ventricle and contains pineal gland and produces hormones
- epithalamus
- which partof the diencephalon is known as the "switcboard" for all sensory impulses to cerebral cortex
- thalamus
- The hypothalamus
- part of diencephalon and coordinates neural & endocrine functions, regulates basic visceral functions
- which part of the brainstem has colluculi-viscual & auditory nuclei
- midbrain
-
which part of the brainstem has fiber tracts, joins cerebellum to brainstem
- PONS
-
medulla oblongata
-
is in the brainstem, below the pons.. Cardiovascular & Rep. joins brain and spinal cord
-
name the ventricles
-
latereal, third and fourth
- how many lateral ventricals are there and where is it located
- Largest and has 2. w/in cerebral hemispheres
- where is the thrid ventricle
- narrow, midlin Diencephalon
- where is the fourth ventricle
-
in the brainstem
