tentorium cerbelli
what sinuses directly flow into inf jugular vein
inf petrosal and sigmoid?
what sinuses flows directly into sigmoid sinus
transverse and super petrosal
what flows directly into trans. sinus
confluence of sinus and inf cerebral veins
what makes of confluens of sinus
occipital, superior sagittal, straight sinus
contains most of dopamine sensitive neurons
frontal lobe
lobe associated with touch, taste and temp
parietal
lobe associated with reward, short term memory, attention and planninf
frontal lobe
where can the cell bodies of pyrimdal trcats be found
precentral gyrus
where and what is broca’s area?
inf gyri of frontal lobe
broca’s aphasia
difficulty speaking, word recall, understanding speech
problems writing and reading
wernicke’s aphasia
major impairment of language comp
speech in a natural sounding rythm and syntax
language is meaningless
corpus collosum
nerve tracts full of commissural fibers
integrates motor sensory and cognitive performance
what can injury to the fornix cause
long term memory loss but you can recall familiar objects
Thalmus function?
sensory signals, including motor signals, to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness
Thalmaus can be defined as paired structure of white matter (located in mid brain) with nerve fibers projecting out to the cerebral cortex in all directions. T/F ?
FALSE.
GRAY MATTER
AND LOCATED IN FOREBRAIN
Pons relay signals from forebrain to __?
cerbellum
Pons has nuclei in what cranial nerves
5-8
what is the function of the pons ?
controlling, sleep, bladder, respiration, swallowing, hearing, equilibrium, taste, facial expression, posture
what would be the effect to injury to the pons
the brain would not be able to function because messages would not be transmitted
medulla f(x)
cardiac, respiratory, vasomotor, swallowing, vomitting, coughing, sneezing
Cerebellum
responsible for balance and coordination
volunary ations done w/ intent i.e walking, writing, standing upright
what can damage to cerbellum cause ?
disorders in fine movement, equilibrium, posture, and motor learning
CN7 has parasympathetic fibers that innervate ?
salivary and lacrimal glands via submandibular and pterygopalatine ganglia
