Q

optic chiasm

A

location of CN II crossing over

17
Q

CSF flow

A
lateral ventricles
interventricular foramen of Monroe
third ventricle
cerebral aqueduct of sylvius 
fourth ventricle
foramen of megendie
foramina of luschka
subarachnoid space
chroid plexus = filters CSF from blood
septum pellucidum = thin layer that covers ventricles
18
Q

cerebellum

A

coordinating/ smoothing muscular body movement

19
Q

vermis

A

separates R and L hemispheres

20
Q

arbor vitae

A

tree of life (white matter)

21
Q
brain stem 
midbrain:
pons:
medulla oblongata:
superior colliculi:
inferior colliculi:
A

contains corpa quadrigemina (includes superior and inferior colliculi)
coordinates inspiration and expiration; relays nerve impulses
regulates respiration, heart rate, blood pressure
pathway of vision
pathway of hearing

22
Q

gray matter

23
Q

white matter

24
Q

hypothalamus

A

sex, hormones, eating (carb and lipids), metabolism, emotions, temperature, sleep/wake cycles

25
pituitary gland
anterior: FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH, PRL, endorphins, GH, MSH,
26
pineal gland
secretes melatonin, circadian rhythms
27
schlera
outer layer/white fibrous
28
cornea
transparent/window of the eye
29
choroid
middle layer/vascular/absorbs stray lights
30
cilliary bodies/muscles
controls shape of lens, attach to suspensory ligaments
31
suspensory ligaments
attach to periphery or the lens
32
iris
color part, regulates pupil size
33
pupil
where light passes through
34
lens
focuses vision when contracted/divids eye in two chambers
35
photoreceptor cells rods: cones:
more sensitive to light (night vision) less sensitive to light (visual activity and color)
36
optic disc
no rods or cones, blind spot, form optic nerve
37
outer ear | pinna -> tempanic membrane
pinna (auricle) | auditory canal
38
middle ear | tempanic membrane -> oval window
``` tempanic membrane (eardrum) ossicles: malleus incus stapes eustachian tube: equalization of air pressure (sneeze, yawn) oval window ```
39
inner ear | oval window -> inward
semicircular canal: equilibrium/maintain balance | cochlea- hearing
