14
ocated in the floor of the third ventricle
HYPOTHALAMUS
15
t plays a role in controlling behaviors such as hunger, thirst, sleep, and sexual response
HYPOTHALAMUS
16
regulates body temperature, blood pressure, emotions, and secretion of hormones.
HYPOTHALAMUS
17
lies in a small pocket of bone at the skull base called the sella turcica
pituitary gland
18
Known as the “master gland,” it controls other endocrine glands in the body
pituitary gland
19
It secretes hormones that control sexual development, promote bone and muscle growth, respond to stress, and fight disease.
pituitary gland
20
located behind the third ventricle
pineal gland
21
located behind the third ventricle
pineal gland
22
serves as a relay station for almost all information that comes and goes to the cortex
thalamus
23
It plays a role in pain sensation, attention, alertness and memory.
thalamus
24
includes the caudate, putamen and globus pallidus.
BASAL GANGLIA
25
work with the cerebellum to coordinate fine motions, such as fingertip movements.
basal ganglia
26
center of our emotions, learning, and memory.
limbic system
27
Included are the cingulate gyri, hypothalamus, amygdala (emotional reactions) and hippocampus (memory).
limbic system
28
strong, thick membrane that closely lines the inside of the skul
dura mater
29
2 layers of dura mater
periosteal and meningeal
30
two special dural folds,
falx and tentorium
31
separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain
falx
32
separates cerebellum and cerebrum
tentorium
33
thin, web-like membrane that covers the entire brain
arachnoid mater
34
The space between the dura and arachnoid membranes
subdural space
35
hugs the surface of the brain following its folds and grooves.
pia mater
36
has many blood vessels that reach deep into the brain.
pia mater
37
space between the arachnoid and pia
subarachnoid space
38
where the cerebrospinal fluid bathes and cushions the brain.
subarachnoid space
39
hollow fluid-filled cavities
ventrciels
40
Inside the ventricles is a ribbon-like structure called the that makes clear colorless cerebrospinal fluid
choroid plexus
41
enlargement of the ventricles
HYDROCEPHALUS
42
cause a collection of fluid in the spinal cord
SYRINGOMYELIA
43
Blood is carried to the brain by two paired arteries
internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries
44
arteries supply most of the cerebrum.
INTERNAL CAROTID
45
arteries supply the cerebellum, brainstem, and the underside of the cerebrum
VERTEBRAL ARTERIES
46
The basilar artery and the internal carotid arteries “communicate” with each other at the base of the brain called the
Circle of Willis
47
The communication ----- is an important safety feature of the brain.
between the internal carotid and vertebral-basilar systems
48
sinuses THAT drain the cerebrum
superior and inferior sagittal
49
drains the anterior skull base
CAVERNOUS SINUSES
50
only drainage of the brain.
jugular veins
51
In general, the --- hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language and speech and is called the "dominant" hemisphere
left
52
_________ hemisphere plays a large part in interpreting visual information and spatial processing.
right
53
disturbance of language affecting production, comprehension, reading or writing, due to brain injury – most commonly from stroke or trauma.
aphasia
54
lies in the left frontal lobe (Fig 3). If this area is damaged, one may have difficulty moving the tongue or facial muscles to produce the sounds of speech.
broca's area
55
lies in the left temporal lobe
The individual may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary words, and even create new words.
Wernicke's area
56
3 phases of memory
encoding
storing
recalling
57
also called working memory, occurs in the prefrontal cortex.
short term memory
58
It stores information for about one minute and its capacity is limited to about 7 items.
short term
59
processed in the hippocampus of the temporal lobe and is activated when you want to memorize something for a longer time
long term
60
unlimited content and duration capacity. It contains personal memories as well as facts and figures.
long term
61
processed in the cerebellum, which relays information to the basal ganglia
skill memory
62
stores automatic learned memories like tying a shoe, playing an instrument, or riding a bike.
skill memory
63
Sensory area
❖ Skin impulses
❖ Estimation of
distances, sizes and
shapes
parietal lobe
64
Auditory area
❖ Olfactory area --
medial part of the
____
temporal
65
Motor area - directs
movement
❖ Speech and writing
❖ Broca's area -- controls
muscles of speech
frontal lobe
66
Forms surface of cerebral
hemispheres
❖ Impulses received and
analyzed
❖ Storage of info -- recall --
"memory"
❖ Association, judgement,
discrimination, deliberation,
voluntary actions
cerebral cortex
67
major regions of the brain
