Cerebrum |
Largest part of the brain Responsible for voluntary activity Vision, hearing, smell, taste, and memory |
|
Cerebral cortex |
Outter region of the brain Contains sheets of nerve cells which makes the grey matter of the brain |
|
Gyrus (P) gyri |
Sheets of nerve cells produce the round ridges on the surface of the cerebral cortex Convolution |
|
Sulcus (P) sulci |
Depression/ grooves on the surface of the cerebral cortex Fissure |
|
Cerebral hemisphere |
Division if the brain in left and right sides 4 lobes Frontal Parietal Occipital Temporal |
|
Cerebellum |
Anterior part if the brain Responsible for the voluntary muscle movement, balance, posture |
|
Pons |
Anterior to the cerebellum. Acts as the to the cerebellum. Acts as the brain stem as well as the bridge to various parts of the brain. Contains nerve fiber tract that connect the cerebrum and the cerebellum to the rest of the brain |
|
Medulla oblongota |
Located just able the spinal cord. Good things nerve fiber trucks that go from right to left and left to right. Contains three vital centers for internal activity of the brain.
1. Respiratory center: muscles of respiration respond to chemical or other stimuli 2. Cardiac Center: slows the Heart when it is beating to rapidly 3. Vasomotor center: affects (dilates) the muscle walls of the blood vessals thus influencing the blood pressure
|
|
Meninges |
3 layers of connective tissue membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord 1. Dura Mater: outermost layer of the meninges contains channels (dural sinuses) that contain blood >subdural space: beneath the Dura mater 2. Arachnoid membrane: middles layer of the meninges, contains web-like/ finger-like fibers that are loosely attached to the other membranes and in that space is fluid >subarachnoid space: contains CSF 3. Pia Mater: innermost layer of the meninges that contains a rich supply of blood vessals |
|
Hydrocephalus |
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain |
