What structures comprise the PNS and CNS?
PNS: Cranial Nerves (peripheral nerves attached to brain); Spinal Nerves (Peripheral Nerve attached to spinal cord)

CNS: Brain, Brainstem, Cerebellum, Spinal Cord
What structures are contained within the telencephalon?
Cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter
Basal ganglia
Basal forebrain nuclei

(FOREBRAIN)
What structures are contained within the diencephalon?
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Epithalamus

THALAMIC NUCLEI :)

(FOREBRAIN)
What structures are contained within the mesencephalon?
Cerebral peduncles
Midbrain
What structures are contained within the metencephalon?
Pons
Cerebellum

(HINDBRAIN)
What structures are contained within the myencephalon?
Medulla
Gyrus vs Sulcus
Gyrus is a ridge
Sulcus is a groove
Broadmann's Number(s) for Primary Motor Cortex
Precentral Gyrus: Area 4
Broadmann's Number(s) for Primary Somatosensory Cortex
Postcentral Gyrus: 1, 2, 3 (SENSORY STRIP)
Broadmann's Number(s) for Visual Cortex
17
Broadmann's Number(s) for Auditory Cortex
41
With regard to speech/language, how do left and right hemisphere lesions differ?
Left Lesion: Aphasia (problems producing speech)

Right Lesion: Neglect (no awareness or attention to one side of body)
Going from lateral to medial, list the major structures controlled by the primary motor and primary somatosensory cortices.
Most lateral third: Face
Then Hand
Most medial third: trunk, leg
What is a commisure?
Structures that connect left and right hemisphere
Function of thalamus.
Grand Central Station for sensory information (except olfaction)
Function of hypothalamus.
Feeding (hunger AND thirst), fighting, fleeing, mating
Functnon of pineal gland.
secretes melatonin at night onset to make you sleepy
Function of posterior pituitary.
Secretes hormones including oxytocin and vasopressin
Roots and vertebrae numbers for:
Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
Sacral
Cervical: 8 roots, 7 vertebrae
Thoracic: 12, 12
Lumbar: 5, 5
Sacral: 5, 5
Where is a lumbar puncture performed?
Between L4 and L5
How do dorsal and ventral horns differ in terms of information sent/received?
Dorsal: Sensory Afferent
Ventral: Motor Efferent

It's always the SAME
Which region of gray matter of the ventral horn has motor output to the trunk?
Medial
Which region of gray matter of the ventral horn has motor output to the limbs?
Lateral
How would you differentiate between cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine cross-sections?
Cervical: Closest to brain, lots of white matter (ovoid shape); limbs in this region so gray matter will form true horns

Thoracic: No limbs, no horns formed by grey matter (fewer neurons going to limbs, less grey matter needed)

Lumbar: Limbs present, have true horns; but further from brain so less white matter (more circular)
Sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs and body cavities.
epithelial tissue
40.2
Epithelia that secrete chemical solutions.
glandular epithelia
40.2
