forms the floor of the third ventricle
* regulates the peripheral nervous system discharges which accompanies behavior and emotional
expression manufactures hormones of the neurohypophyses

A

Hypothalamus

30
Q

controls secretion of pituitary gland and is connected to it by infundibulum* Function: - controls homeostasis, body temp, thirst, hunger, fear, rage, sexual emotions

A

A

inferior colliculi

34
Q

cavity in mesencephalon is called

A

Mesocoel

35
Q

second largest part of the human brain which exerts synergic control over skeletal muscles resulting in coordinated skeletal muscle contraction to produce smooth, steady, and precise movements
* Location:
below cerebrum

cavity in metencephalon is the

A

Metacoel

39
Q

branches of spinal nerves form plexus or intricate network of fibers from which the nerves supplying various parts of the skin, mucosa, and skeletal
muscles emerge
- all spinal nerves are mixed nerves

A

SPINAL NERVES

55
Q

-skin, mucosa, ear, eye
-Changes in external
environment (ex. Heat, cold, pressures)
-initiate reflexes, sensation of many kinds(ex. heat, cold, pain, vision)

A

Exteroreceptors

56
Q

-Viscera
-Changes in internal
environment
(ex. pressure)
initiate reflexes, initiate sensation of many kinds(ex. hunger, sex, nausea, pressure)

A

Visceroreceptors
(interoreceptor)

57
Q

-Muscles, tendons,
joints, semi-circular
canal of inner ear
-pressure changes
-initiate reflexes, initiate muscle sense, or sense of position and movement of parts, also called kinesthesia

A

Proprioreceptors

58
Q

taste buds in the tongue innervated by the facial and glossopharyngeal nerves- responds to chemicals; sweet at tongue tip; sour and salt at tip and sides; bitter at back

A

Taste

59
Q

receptors in the epithelium of the nasal mucosa
-odors sensed as chemicals interact with receptor sites on sensory
-hair of olfactory cells

A

OLFACTION

60
Q

eyeball consists of three coats: outer sclera, and cornea, middle choroid, ciliary body, and iris, and inner retina
- with anterior cavity containing a liquid aqueous humor and posterior cavity containing a gel-like vitreous humor

A

61
Q

external ear consisting of the pinna, ear opening and external auditory canal
- middle ear separated from the external ear by the tympanic membrane; contains the ear ossicles (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) and opening from the eustachian tubes- inner ear (or labyrinth) composed of body vestibule, semicircular canals and cochlea(containing the organ of Corti), the hearing sense organ innervated by the cranial nerve VIII.
