Lab Exam 1 Flashcards
Links areas of R and L brain, seizures can travel to opposite hemisphere, take it out, conflicting movements
Corpus Callosum
Receives, processes, and relays information to cerebral cortex (growth hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, corticotrophin, gonadotropin, somatotrophin, dopamine/prolactin)
Thalamus
Regulates homeostasis, controls metabolism, response to stress, and urine production
Hypothalamus
Controls head movements, coordinating swallowing, and helping regulate cardiovascular, respiratory, and visceral activity
Medulla
Controls visual and auditory systems as well as eye movements (descending tracts/sensory tracts)
Midbrain
Processes motor information from the cerebral cortex and forwards information to the cerebellum
Pons
Helps regulate circadian rhythm (melatonin)
Pineal Gland (epithalamus)
Head/eye movement in response to hearing something
Tectum
Coordinates somatic/autonomic reaction to nocioception threats/emotions
Tegmentum
Formed by cerebral peduncles
Basis Pedunculi
Oxytocin, ADH, FSH/LH, GH, Prolactin, ACTH, TSH
Pituitary Gland
Emotions, learning, and processing of some memory
Cingulate Gyrus (Limbic Lobe)
Motor
Primary motor cortex #4
Precentral Gyrus
Sensory
Primary somatosensory #3-1-2
Postcentral Gyrus
Right: Nonverbal communication
Left: Broca’s area, speech planning
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
