Answer 16

midbrain

Question 17

what controls the communication btwn brain regions

Answer 17

pons

Question 18

controls breathing, heart rate, BP

Answer 18

medulla

Question 19

“little brain”

Answer 19

cerebellum

Question 20

what carries sensory

Answer 20

posterior/dorsal

Question 21

what carries motor

Answer 21

anterior/ ventral

Question 22

carry sensory signals (afferent) to spinal cord
location- posterior, connects to dorsal horn

Answer 22

dorsal root

Question 23

carry motor signals (efferent) to muscles
location- anterior side, connects to ventral horn

Answer 23

ventral root

-ventral= vehicle (motor)

Question 24

cluster of sensory neuron cell bodies
location- buldge on dorsal root
-gang of sensory neurons

Answer 24

dorsal root ganglion (DRG)

Question 25

shallow groove seperating left and right spinal cord location- posterior midline

Answer 25

posterior median sulcus -sulcus=shallow

Question 26

deep groove helping seperate left and right spinal cord location- anterior midline

Answer 26

anterior median fissure -fissure= f*ing deep

Question 27

contains cerebrospinal fluid for nourishment location-middle of spinal cord

Answer 27

central canal -central=csf flow

Question 28

connects left/ right gray matter location- surrounds central canal

Answer 28

gray commissure -gray=bridge

Question 29

process sensory info (touch. pain) location- back wings of gray matter

Answer 29

posterior gray horn posterior=pain processing

Question 30

controls autonomic funtions location- sides of gray matter

Answer 30

lateral gray horn -lateral=life functions

Question 31

motor neurons for voluntary movt location- front wings of gray matter

Answer 31

anterior gray horn -anterior=action (motor)

Question 32

sends sensory info to brain location- back of white matter

Answer 32

posterior white column -white=wiring

Question 33

allow left/ right spinal cord communication location- front of white matter near fissure

Answer 33

anterior white commissure -commissure=communication

Question 34

What is the functions of the diencephalon region of the brain?

Answer 34

Responsible for sensory processing, autonomic, control, and hormone regulation

Question 35

Responsible for process and transmitting sensory information, except smell, to cerebral cortex. It functions in motor control, consciousness, alertness, and sleep regulation.

Answer 35

Thalamus

Question 36

Functions in maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature, hunger and thirst. For the autonomic nervous system it regulates heart rate, blood pressure and digestion. In the endocrine system, it regulates by releasing hormones that control the pituitary gland. It also controls emotion and behavior.

Answer 36

Hypothalamus

Question 37

Connect the limbic system to other parts of the brain. It regulates emotions, memory responses to odors. It contains the pineal gland.

Answer 37

Epithalamus

Question 38

What functions in secreting melatonin. Response to light and darkness.

Answer 38

The pineal gland

Question 39

Controls other endocrine glands

Answer 39

Pituitary gland

Question 40

communication between hypothalamus and pituitary gland. transmit hormone signals that regulate body functions like stress, growth, water balance, and reproductive

Answer 40

infundibulum
