Chapter 10-12 - Nervous Flashcards
Central Nervous System (CNS)
- Brain : Landmarks
- Cerebrum
- Cerebellum
- Brain Stem
- Diencephalon
- Linbic
Brain
- Gyrus (gyris)
- Sulcus (sulci)
- Fissure
- Hemispheres
Gyrus (gyris)
Bumps
Sulcus (sulci)
Grooves
Fissure
Deep grooves
Hemispheres
2 sides ; connected internally at corpus collosum separated by the Longitudinal Fissure.
Cerebrum
- Largest part of brain
1. Frontal
2. Parietal
3. Occipital
4. Temporal
Frontal
- Output lobe (motor)
a. personality
b. morals and othics
c. ability to form words
d. skeletal muscle control
e. Precentral gyrus
Precentral gyrus
Site of motor control
Parietal
- Input / sensory
a. “hard drive” of computer
1. short term memory (temporary)
2. Long term memory - with more memories
because permanent
Occipital
- Sight and vision
a. sight in 3 dimension
b. judging distance
c. can not determine true / false visually
Cerebellum
- Coordinating voluntary muscle activity
2. Balance
Brain Stem
- 3 parts ; relay station
- Mid-brain
- Pons
- Medulla Oblongata
Mid-Brian
relay for visual
Pons
“Pooch” ; relaying for breathing
Medulla Oblongata
extend down through foreman magnum to C2
vital Functions
Heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, coughing, sneezing, swallow, and vomiting.
Diencephalon
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
a. pituitary
Thalamus
Relay for sensory input
Hypothalamus
Control for autonomic reaction ; regulate body temperature, water balance, thirst, appetite, sexual response, emotional
Pituitary
Gland, master endocrine gland, stimulated by hypothalamus
Limbic
- Emotional
- Hippocampus
- Amygdala
Cerebro Spinal Fluid
- CSF
- Pumped by ventricles to oxygenate and remove waste
- Contains H2O, glucose, Na+, CI-
- Makes 500 ml every 24 hrs.
- Blockage causes accumulation of fluid that puts pressure on brain
Blood Brain Barrier
Glial celis prevent harmful chemicals and blood from entering CSF and CNS
