(34 cards)
Feature separating right and left hemispheres of brain
Longitudinal Fissure
Feature separating frontal and parietal lobes
and primary somatosensory cortex and primary motor cortex
Central Sulcus
Feature separating temporal lobe and Parietal + Frontal lobes
Lateral Fissure
Feature separating occipital lobe and cerebellum
Transverse fissure
3 Parts of brain stem
Pons
Medulla Oblongata
Spinal Cord
Bones / lobes of brain
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Under = temporal
Cranial nerve 1
Olfactory = smell
Cranial nerve 2
Optic = Vision
Cranial nerve 3
Oculomotor = moves eyeball & eyelid, can adjust lens of eye and constrict pupil
Cranial nerve 4
Trochlear = Moves eyeballs by sending nerve impulses to superior oblique muscles
Cranial nerve 5
Trigeminal
Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular
= Facial muscle, chewing, convert touch, pain, temp
Cranial nerve 6
Abducens = Moves eyeball outwards
Cranial nerve 7
Facial = Taste, secretion of tears and saliva, facial expression
Cranial nerve 8
Vestibulocochlear = Posture, movement, balance, auditory
Cranial nerve 9
Glossopharyngeal = Swallowing & saliva secretion, monitors blood pressure
Cranial nerve 10
Vagus = swallowing, coughing, speech, heart rate, GIT contraction and relaxation
Cranial nerve 11
Accessory = Swallowing, movement of head and shoulders
