21
Q

cerebellum

A

balance and coordinated movement
-layered tissue hanging off the back of the brain

22
Q

brainstem

A

regulates cardiac and respiratory functions, reactions to auditory/visual stimuli
-life controlling area
-midbrain, pons, medulla

23
Q

diencephalon

A

controls homeostasis
-thalamus, hidden unless we cut
-gateway for things coming from spinal cord to brain
-3rd ventricle

24
Q

3rd ventricle

A

pocket between the two thalami
-fluid comes through and flows to 4th

25
Q

superior temporal gyrus

A

temporal lobe
-primary auditory strip

26
Q

meninges

A

dura, arachnoid, pia
-PAD (pia being closer to brain tissue)

27
Q

cerebrospinal fluid

A

provides a fluid cushion, surrounding the brain and spinal cord
-circulated in the brain, ventricles (housed and produced)

28
Q

peripheral nervous system (PNS)

A

consists of nerve fibers and cell bodies outside the CNS
-stuff that exists bones at some point and goes elsewhere

29
Q

how do spinal nerves exit the vertebral column

A

they exit under their given vertebrae EXCEPT in the cervical region, they will go out above their given vertebrae

30
Q

how many spinal nerves are at each level of the column

A

cervical : 7 vertebrae, 8 nerves
thoracic : 12 vertebrae, 12 nerves
lumbar : 5 vertebrae, 5 nerves
sacral : 1 bones, 5 nerves (5 vertebrae)
coccygeal : 1 bone, 1 nerve

31
Q

motor nerves

A

to muscle or glands
- anterior or ventral roots

32
Q

sensory nerves

A

from receptor organ
-posterior or dorsal roots

33
Q

cranial nerves

A

12 nerves each with their own functions
-1 and 2 not in brainstem, the rest are resided within the brainstem

34
Q

cranial nerve 1 and 2

A

nose and eye functions

35

Q

cranial nerve 8

A

vestibulocochlear
-8 DOWN

40
Q

neurons vs. glia cells

A

main cell vs. supporting cell

41
Q

synapse

A

small gap that allows for an action to pass through
