medulla

Question 4

what do brainstem centres produce

Answer 4

automatic behaviours essential for survival

Question 5

whats the yellow and green bits

Answer 5

yellow = pyramids
green = olives

Question 6

what are the blue and pink things

what does the pink thing do

Answer 6

blue = 4th ventrical
pink = inferior cerebellar peduncle- connects brainstem to cerebellum

4th ventrical

Question 8

whats this

Answer 8

Middle cerebellar peduncle

Question 9

Answer 9

mesencephalon

Question 10

whats the central cavity in the midbrain

Answer 10

cerebral aqueduct

Question 11

whats the red thing

Answer 11

cereBRAL peduncle

higher up so ceonnects to cerebrum

Question 12

whats the blue and purple things

Answer 12

blue = occulomotor
purple = trochlear

Question 13

what are the 2 blue things

What do they do

Answer 13

dark = superior colliculi
visual reflex

light = inferior colliculi
auditory reflex

Question 14

whats the purple thing

Answer 14

superior peduncle

Question 15

how to tell if your looking at the
front x3
the back x2
of the brainstem

Answer 15

front- optic chiasm
also have pituitary gland
AND mamillary bodies

back- colliculi so 4 bumps
and pineal gland

Question 16

Answer 17

motor INTENTION

Question 18

what nuclei control balance and posture

Answer 18

vestibular nuclei

Question 19

what things feed into the cerebellum

Answer 19

pyramidal tracts- motor
proprioceptors
vestibular nuclei- balance and posture

Question 20

where does the info from the cerebellum go after its calculated fine movement

Answer 20

to cerebral cortex

Question 21

what seperates the thalamus and hypothalamus

Answer 21

hypothalmic sulcus

what does the hypothalamus control x5

Answer 22

control of autonomic NS:

Body temperature
food intake
water balance & thirst
sleep-wake cycle
endocrine system functioning

Question 23

what are the blue and purple things

Answer 23

blue = thalamus around-
purple = 3rd ventrical

Question 24

what passes through the foramen lacerum

Answer 24

carotid arteries

AKA carotid canal

Question 25

what are the vertebral arteries a branch of how to they enter the skull

Answer 25

subclavian foramen magnum

what are the grey blue and light purple arteries

Answer 26

grey blue = anterior communicating light purple = posterior communicating

Question 27

name the blue green purple red yellow arteries

Answer 27

blue = anterior cerebral green = middle cerebral purple = posterior cerebral red = basillar yellow = vertebral

Question 28

whats the yellow artery

Answer 28

anterior spinal artery

Question 29

what arteries supply each colour

Answer 29

blue = ACA red = MCA green = PCA

what artery is likely to be blocked if sight is damaged

Answer 30

posterior cerebral artery

Question 31

what artery is likely to be damaged if theres motor weakness

Answer 31

anterior cerebral artery

Question 32

what artery is likely to be damaged if speech is affected

Answer 32

middle cerebral artery (of dominant side, so right handed then in left hemisphere)

Question 33

Answer 33

2 layers of dura mater

Question 34

what do the venous sinuses ultimatly drain to

Answer 34

IJV

Question 35

name the red and yellow parts of the cavernous sinus

Answer 35

red = ICA yellow = dura mater

Question 36
