IOTA 8 Flashcards
(20 cards)
What are Gyri (gurus)?
Elevations of cortex
What are sulci (sulcus)?
Grooves of cortex
What is the central sulcus?
Separates frontal lobe and parietal lobe
Groove that funds down to the lateral fissure
What is the lateral fissure?
Divides 3 lobes:
Frontal
Parietal
Temporal
What is the lateral left hemisphere responsible for?
Language
Thoughts
Contains left middle cerebral artery
Damage to left middle cerebral artery mean?
Dumbness= you won’t be able to talk
What makes the temporal gyrus?
Superior gyrus
Middle gyrus
Inferior gyrus
What makes the frontal gyrus?
Superior frontal gyrus
Middle frontal gyrus
Inferior frontal gyrus
What is the gyrus in front of the central sulcus?
Motor cortex = pre-central gyrus
What is the gyrus posterior to the central sulcus?
Somato -sensory= post-central gyrus
Pre-central gyrus is in which lobe?
Frontal lobe
Post-central gyrus is in which lobe?
Parietal lobe
What are the areas of the parietal called?
Superior parietal lobule
Inferior parietal lobule
What is the sulcus that divides the lobules of the parietal lobe?
Intra-parietal sulcus
The parietal lobe is sommato-sensory
True Or false?
True
What are the areas of the inferior parietal lobe?
Supra- marginal gyrus
Angular gyrus
What are the areas of the occipital lobe?
Occipital gyri
What are the sulci of the brain ?
Frontal lobe?
Superior sulcus
Inferior sulcus
Temporal lobe:
Superior sulcus
Middle sulcus
What are the parts of the inferior frontal gyrus?
Pars opercularis
Pars triangularis : language area= Broca’s area
Pars orbitalis
What is the Broca’s area?
Language area: pars trangularis
Allows to express out thoughts
