Chapter 15 Flashcards
CNS
brain: meninges, cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem & cerebellum
& spinal cord
PNS
nerve structs, cranial nerves, spinal nerves & plexuses
GRAY matter
most cell bodies and dendrites..
NO MYELIN
White matter
axons
MYELIN (lipid, white, fatty)
Cerebral, neural cortex
thin layer of gray matter that runs outer layer
cerebrium
nucleus
random matter inferior CNS
tracts
bundles of CNS axons that share a common origin and desitination
ganglia
neuron cell bodies in PNS
nerves
bundles of axons in PNS
Structures of brain & brainstem
cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus, midbrain, pons, cerebellum, medulla
Meninges (surface–> deep)
Dura matter, thick and tough layer
arachnoid, still can’t see through groves
pia mater, cannot peel layer away
subarchnoid space
fluid filled space between arachnoid and pia mater
What are the two hemispheres of the cerebrum separated by?
longitudinal fissure
What are the two hemispheres of the cerebrum CONNECTED by
corpus callosum
Gyrus, sulcus, fissure??
Fold
space between
deep sulcus
lateral fissure divides which lobes?
frontal, parietal, & temporal
central sulcus?
between frontal lobe and parietal lobe
parieto-occipital sulcus
divides parietal lobe and occipital lobe
Cerebral lobes?
frontal parietal occipital temporal insular
Cerebral cortex
gray matter in each lobe have specific functions
Frontal lobe functions cortex
MOTOR: coming from CNS and out to the body planning movements, control in motor neurons in spinal cord Cognitive functions: short term memory control of attention planning personality problem solving
Parietal lobe cortex
SENSORY:
touch, temperature, paint
visual info, motion
Occipital lobe cortex
SENSORY:
basic visual stimulation (COLOR CONTRAST SHAPES)
Optic nerve carries info to the occipital lobe first
Temporal lobe cortex
SENSORY: auditory stimulation SMELL olfactory stimulation SOUND some visual stimulation (faces) - object recognition long-term memory
