function-determination of shape,texture, orientation, and relations of the parts of the objects

Question 17

location and function of the prefrontal cortex

Answer 17

location-anterior part of the frontal lobe
function- personality features, intellect, complex learning abilities, reasoning, planning, initiative, judgement, foresight, recall of information

location and function of the visual association area

Answer 18

location- occipital lobe
function- recognition and evaluation of the visual perceptions

Answer 19

location-inferior posterior to the primary auditory area
function- recognition of auditory perception

Question 20

location and function of the common integrative area

Answer 20

location close to the somatosensory, visual and auditory area
function- receives and integrates sensory impulses and interpretations from different areas

Question 21

location and function of the premotor area

Answer 21

location- anterior to primary motor area
function- complex learned motor activity patterns

Question 22

location and function of the Wernicke’s area

Answer 22

location- temporal and parietal lobes
function- interprets the meaning of speech by recognising spoken words

Question 23

what surrounds the diencephalon,
what does it consist of,
what does it enclose

Answer 23

surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres, superior to the midbrain
consists of the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
encloses the third ventricle

Question 24

what does the thalamus consist of
what is its role

Answer 24

paired oval masses of grey matter with tracts of white matter, 7 major groups of nuclei
role- major relay station for sensory impulses, motor function, autonomic activities, Maintenace of consciousness

Question 25

what does the hypothalamus consist of what is its role

Answer 25

consists of several nuclei arranged in four regions role- controls and integrates activities of the autonomic nervous system Eg hormones, body temperature, emotional+behavioural patterns

Question 26

what does the epithalamus contain, where is that located and what does it control

Answer 26

contains the pineal gland, located in the posterior extremity of the 3rd ventricle controls- release of melatonin and habenular nuclei

Question 27

location and function of the cerebellum

Answer 27

location- posterior and inferior aspect of the cranial cavity function- evaluate movement, regulates posture and balance

Question 28

what does the cerebellum consist of

Answer 28

cortex folded into folia, which contains white matter which contains cerebellar nuclei

Question 29

what are the hemispheres of the cerebellum connected by and what are the lobes of the cerebellum

Answer 29

hemispheres are connected by vermis lobes are, anterior, posterior, flocculo-nodular

Question 30

layers of the cerebellar cortex

Answer 30

molecular layer purkinje cell layer granular cell layer

Question 31

three main parts of the brainstem

Answer 31

midbrain pons medulla oblongata

Question 32

what does the midbrain connect what does the anterior part contain+role what does the posterior part contain and role

Answer 32

connects- 3rd and 4th venticles anterior part contains- cerebral peduncles which share motor impulses posterior part contains-superior and inferior colliculi, role visual reflexes Eg getting startled

Question 33

pons-location+contains+made of+two regions

Answer 33

location- midbrain and medulla contains 4th ventricle made of tracts and nuclei regions- ventral, dorsal

Question 34

function of the ventral region of pons and components of the dorsal region of pons

Answer 34

ventral region- relay station for white matter tracts dorsal region- ascending sensory and descending motor tracts, cranial nerves nuclei

Question 35

location and what does white matter in the medulla oblongata contain

Answer 35

location-between the pons and spinal cord white matter contains sensory and motor tracts, two pyramids and olives

Question 36

what is the function of the grey matter in the medulla oblongata

Answer 36

vital functions Eg cardiovascular centre, respiratory area, reflexes for vomiting, sneezing, coughing cranial nerves

Question 37

function of the ascending sensory tract and descending motor tract

Answer 37

ascending sensory-maintain consciousness descending motor tract- regulation of resting muscle tone
