Unit 3 Exam Flashcards
Name the lobes of the Brain
Frontal lobe Frontal bone - Anterior lobe
Occipital Lobe Occipital bone- Posterior lobe
Parietal lobe Parietal bone- mid section
Temporal lobe Temporal bone- mid section
Regions of the brain name 4
Cerebrum we think about the lobes
Diencephalon
Brain stem
Cerebellum
What the largest portion of the brain
Cerebrum also known as the cortex
The cerebrum has a right and left what?
Hemispheres
Corpus collosum connects what?
Hemispheres
IHF Interhemisphere fissure seperates what?
the right and left hemisphere fissure
CEREBRUM OF THE BRAIN
Largest portion of brain
Also referred to as cortex
Consists of two hemispheres
Corpus Collosum connects hemispheres
IHF separates Right from left side
Logitudinal fissure is also know an
Infrahemisphere fissure
Logitudinal and IHF has a what? and where is it ?
is the deep cleft between the two hemispheres
Whats Gyri
Convolutions between sulci
Bumps
GYRI and SULCI
5 Lateral (Sylvian) fissure
- Precentral gyrus
- Central sulcus
- Postcentral gyrus
- Superior temporal gyrus
Whats a sulci?
Grooves ridges, furrows
Deep sulci are fissure
main one Deep fissure lateral Sylvian
its the lateral side
deep sulci
main one sulcus
what seperates
Central sulcus
separates anterior and posterior
based on the location is centralized in the brain
Precentral gyrus
not too important before the central sulcus
postcentral gyrus
posterior
"”post’’ after
superior temporal gyrus
in the temporal lobe superior aspects
Longitudinal or IHF is where
Longitudinal fissure is described as the deep cleft between the two hemispheres
GYRI versus Sulci
SULCI
Grooves ridges, furrows
DeepSulci are fissures
GYRI
lConvolutions between sulci
Bumps
whats a Gyri
Prominent rounded elevations or convolutions that form the cerebral hemispheres, each consisting of an exposed superficial portion and a portion hidden from view in the wall and floor of the sulci
lBumps not grooves
Sulci
dip in
Grooves or Furrows on the surface of the brain bounding the several convolutions or gyri Also referred to as fissures or slight depressions
CEREBRUM
Surface layer is gray matter
Consists of nerves cell bodies, and fibers
2-4mm thick
Lying underneath cerbral cortex is lighter colored white matter, made up of myelinated nerve fibers
Scattered throughout white matter is basal ganglia
2-4 mm think what is it?
Cerebrum
Surface layer is gray matter
