1
The brain is classified into six postembryonic divisions
telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, medulla oblongata, cerebellum
2
Telencephlaon consists of ____
cerebral hemispheres and the basal nuclei
3
Cerebral hemispheres emcompasses which brain regions
frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe and lateral ventricles
4
Cerebral hemispheres are separated by which structures
the longitudinal cerebral fissure and the falx cerebri
5
Cerebral hemispheres are interconnected by which structure
corpus callosum
6
Frontal lob extends from ___ to ____
central sulcus, frontal lobe
7
Gyri of the frontal lobe
superior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, gyrus rectus and orbital gyri, anterior paracentral lobule
8
Superior frontal gyrus (describe)
supplementary motor cortex on the medial surface (area 6)
9
Middle frontal gyrus (describe)
contains the frontal eye field (area 8)
10
Inferior frontal gyrus (describe)
contains the Broca speech area in the dominant hemisphere (areas 44 and 45)
11
Gyrus rectus and orbital gyri (describe)
separated by the olfactory sulcus
12
Anterior paracentral lobule (describe)
Found on the medial surface between the superior frontal gyrus and the central sulcus
13
Parietal lobe (location)
extends from the central sulcus to the occiptal lobe. Lies superior to the temporal lobe.
14
Gyri of the parietal lobe
postcentral gyrus, superior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule, precuneus, posterior paracentral lobule
15
Postcentral gyrus (describe)
the primary somatosensory area of the cerebral cortex (areas 3, 1, and 2)
16
Superior parietal lobule (describe)
comprises association areas involved in somatosensory functions (areas 5 and 7)
17
Gyri of inferior parietal lobule

Angular gyrus (describe)
receives impulses from primary visual cortex (area 39)
20
Precuneus (describe)
located between the paracentral lobule and the cuneus
21
Posterior paracentral lobule (describe)
located on the medial surface between the central sulcus and the precuneus
22
Temporal lobe (location)
extends from the temporal pole to the occipital lobe, inferior to the lateral sulcus
23
Gyri of the temporal lobe

24
Transverse temporal gyri of Heschl (location)
found within the lateral sulcus, from the superior gyrus toward the medial geniculate body
