ch 10 The brain and cranial nerves Flashcards
(32 cards)
brain development
brain develops from the neural tube and expands as we develop into 4 major parts
4 Major part of brain development
Brainstem
cerebellum
diencephalon
cerebrum
Protection of the brain
Cranial bones
Cranial meninges
Cerebrospinal Fluid
Blood brain barrier
Cerebral spinal Fluid
circulates the subarachnoid space
CSF function
protects physical injury -shock
protect chemical injury
circulation of nutrients and for waste removal
Brainstem structure
medulla oblongata
pons
midbrain
connects spinal cord with the brain
Medulla oblongata
vital center
controls heart rate , BP , and respiration
Pons
bridge connects right and left sides of cerebellum
contains respiratory center to initiate breathing as well
Midbrain
connects pons to diencephalon
plays role: eye movement, auditory process, visual processing
Cerebellum “little brain”
coordination of muscle activity
Diencephalon
thalamus - sensory tracts
hypothalamus-controls body function
Cerebrum
largest division divided into right and left hemisphere
Corpus callosum-band of white matter connects 2 hemispheres
Cerebral cortex- putter layer composed of gray matter
4 cerebral loves
Frontal
Parietal
temporal
occipital
Frontal Lobe
Motor function
speech , decision, comaring and categorizing, long term memory, personality and behavior
parietal lobe
sensation, skin,pain, temp, touch
Temporal lobe
hearing ,smell, language
Occipital lobe (back)
sight, depth in perception
12 cranial nerves
olfactory , Optic , oculomotor, trochlear
trigemenial, abducens, facial, vistibulocochlear
glossopharyngel, vagus
Olfactory nerve
entirely sensory
connects to olfactory bulbs form the nose to temporal lobe
Optic nerve II
entirely sensory
both eye optic nerves form optic chiasm
OculomotorIII, Trochlear IV , AbducensVI
all motor only
controls muscle that moves eyeballs
Trigeminal V
both motor and sensation
opthalmic, maxillary, mandibular
Facial VII
motor and sensation
controls muscle of the face for facial expression and for mastication
Vestibulocochlear VIII
sensory
vestibular-equilibrium
cochlear-hearing
