Anatomy And Physiology Of CNS Flashcards
(31 cards)
the largest part of the brain, and it controls motor, cognitive, as well as sensory function.
CEREBRUM
It is divided into two hemispheres, so the left and right hemisphere, and those hemispheres are connected through the corpus callosum
CEREBRUM
the left and right hemisphere, and those hemispheres are connected through the ______
CORPUS CALLOSUM
controls the right side of the body,
LEFT HEMISPHERE
controls the left side of the body.
RIGHT HEMISPHERE
if a patient has a stroke on the right side of their brain, then they may end up with paralysis on the _______of their body.
LEFT SIDE
within the cerebrum which is the outer layer of the cerebrum, and that is made up of gray matter.
CEREBRAL CORTEX
under that cortex, sub means underneath, so subcortical means underneath the cortex.
SUBCORTICAL STRUCTURE
These structures are important for memory, emotion, pleasure, as well as hormone production.
pituitary gland, the basal ganglia, etc
length about the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, because they produce a number of hormones which are important in the body.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
contains the motor cortex. Other important things that are controlled by the ______ include memory, speech and language, personality, as well as decision-making.
FRONTAL LOBE
essential for speech function.
BROCA’S AREA
is essential for interpreting signals related to things such as touch, position, pain, as well as temperature.
PARIETAL LOBE
which contains the visual cortex. essential for visual processing and interpretation.
OCCIPITAL LOBE
which is important for hearing and recognizing language. it contains the auditory cortex, as well as Wernicke’s area here.
TEMPORAL LOBE
essential for the comprehension of verbal and written language.
Wernicke’s area
located at the back of the brain, underneath the occipital and temporal lobes.
CEREBELLUM
essential for coordinating muscle movements, as well as maintaining posture and balance.
CEREBELLUM
is essential for regulating autonomic functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion, so those involuntary processes in the body.
BRAINSTEM
It also facilitates communication between the cerebrum and cerebellum and the spinal cord.
BRAINSTEM
central nervous system consists of
BRAIN
SPINAL CORD
plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions, including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory.
BRAIN
center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
