copy deck
- houses the most basic programs of survival
- Brainstem
- in the brainstem, neurons that affect arousal
- Reticular Formation
- Controls movement and balance, trained by nervous system, involved in empathy
- Cerebellum
- controls basic drives and emotions
- Limbic System
- master regulatory structure. vital function regulator, controls sexual impulses
- Hypothalamus
- almost all incoming info goes through this before the cortex
- Thalamus
- new memories and spatial memories
- Hippocampus
- associates things with an emotion
- Amygdala
- subcortical structures, crucial for moevement, reward system
- Basal Ganglia
- source of culture and communication
- Cerebral cortex
- vision
- Occipital Lobe
- touch
- Parietal Lobe
- primary auditory cortex, faces, memory
- Temporal
- planning and movement
- Frontal Lobe
- Rational behavior
- Prefrontal Cortex
- What is the medulla oblogata
- is the most inferior part of the brainstem
- where does the medulla oblongata blends
- into the spinal cord at the level of the forum magnum
- what does the medulla and the pons help form
- the ventral wall of the fourth ventricle
- what is the pons
- the bulging brainstem region wedged between the midbrain and the meduula oblongata
- the deep protection of the pons run longitually and complete the pathway between where
- the higher brain centers and the spinal cord
- where is the midbrain located
- between the diencephalon and the pons
- the cerebellum is located where
-
dorsal to the pons
- how much of the brain mass does the cerebellum exceeds
- 11%
- where does the cerebellum potrude
- under the occipital lobes under the hemipheres, from which it is seperated by the transverse cerbral fissure
- what is the diecephalon
- forming the central central core of the forbrain and surrounded by the cerbral hemispheres
- how much of the diecephalon does the thalamus makes up
- 80%
- what is the hypothalamus
- it caps the brain stem and forms the inferolateralo walls of the third ventricle
- where does the hypothalmus merge from
- the midbrain
- where does the hypothalmus extends from
- the optic chiasma
- where does the hypothalamus extend from
- the optic chaisma and to the posterior of the mamillary bodies
- what is the cerebrum
- the thinking part of the brain
