Q

axon

A

part of neuron that relays information

17
Q

central nervous system (CNS)

A

encased in bone

brain, spinal cord

18
Q

3 major structures of the brain

A

cerebrum
brainstem
cerebellum

19
Q

4 major lobes

A

frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital

20
Q

function of frontal lobe

A

cognition, motor activity, spoken language

- includes Broca’s area (language expression)

21
Q

Function of parietal lobe

A

processes body sense

22
Q

Function of temporal lobe

A

receives auditory information

- include Wernicke’s area (language comprehension)

23
Q

Insular lobe

A

subserves planning and organization of speech (some consider insular par of temporal)

24
Q

Thalamus

A

relay station for sensory information

25
Subthalamus
works with basal ganglia for motor control
26
Hippocampus
short term and long term memory consolidation
27
Basal ganglia
muscle tone, control and motor learning
28
3 major structures of brain
cerebrum brainstem cerebellum
29
parts of cerebrum
``` cortex subcortex thalamus subthalamus hippocampus basal ganglia ```
30
parts of brain stem
midbrain pons medulla
31
brainstem function
controls the flow of messages to and from the brain and body
32
components of brainstem
medulla oblongata Pons Midbrain
33
Medulla oblangata
houses cranial nerve nuclei
34
Pons
communication bridge | houses cranial nerve nuclei
35
Midbrain
houses cranial nerve nuclei
36
cerebellum
integrates sensory inputs to fine-tune motor activity contributes to precision, coordination, and timing of movements
37
components of peripheral nervous system (PNS)
cranial nerves that serve head and neck spinal nerves that serve the rest of the body
38
Afferent pathways
sensory pathways (signals "arrive" in the brain)
39
efferent pathways
motor pathways (signals "exit" the brain)
