1
Q

Meninges

A

Three CT layers deep to cranium and vertebral canal that encase brain and spinal cord

2
Q

Dura mater

A

Though outer meninges

3
Q

Arachnoid mater

A

Middle meninges. Separated CSF from blood

4
Q

Pia mater

A

Delicate outer coating of the brain and the innermost meninges

5
Q

Epidural space

A

Space between vertebrae and dura mater. Holds areolar CT, adipose CT, arteries, veins. Potential space between cranial bones and dura mater

6
Q

Subarachnoid space

A

Contains CSF

7
Q

Arachnoid granulation

A

Contains CSF and allows fluid to be resorbed into blood of dura venous sinuses

8
Q

Flax cerebri

A

Keeps brain from moving too much within cranium

9
Q

Sagittal sinus

A

Drains deoxygenated blood from brain. Contains arachnoid granulations that drain CSF into blood

10
Q

Anterior root of spinal nerve

A

Contains motor neuron axons

11
Q

Posterior root ganglion of spinal nerve

A

Contains sensory neuron cell bodies

12
Q

Central canal of spinal cord

A

Contains CSF

13
Q

Frontal lobe of cerebrum

A

Responsible for higher intellectual functions, personality, voluntary motor control of skeletal muscles

14
Q

Parietal lobe of cerebrum

A

Interpretation of general sensory info (texture and shapes)

15
Q

Temporal lobe of cerebrum

A

Interpretation and storage of auditory and olfactory sensations

16
Q

Occipital lobe of cerebrum

A

Interpretation and storage of visual sensations

17
Q

Insula

A

Interpretation of taste sensation. Participates in memory

18
Q

Central sulcus

A

Separates frontal and parietal lobes of cerebrum

19
Q

Precentral gyrus

A

Somatomotor area. Control of skeletal muscles

20
Q

Postcentral gyrus

A

Somatosensory area. General sensory perception

21
Q

Lateral sulcus

A

Separates temporal lobes from frontal and parietal

22
Q

Corpus callosum

A

White matter connecting cerebral hemispheres. Main communication link between hemispheres

23
Q

Choroid plexuses

A

Forms CSF

24
Q

Pons

A

Contains sensory and motor tracts running between brain and spinal cord. Regulates breathing

25
Q

Medusa oblongata

A

Contains autonomic centers that regulate heart rate, blood pressure, respiration

26
Q

Cerebellum

A

Coordinated and smooths complex motor movements. Receives and interprets proprioceptive info

27
Q

Cerebrum

A

Integrative center of the brain that receives and interprets sensory info, draws upon memory and learns and initiates motor responses

28
Q

CSF

A

Absorbs jarring movements of the head
