primary reception site for somatic sense
parietal lobe
where somatic sensory info is received
postcentral gyrus
where is the angular gyrus found?
parietal lobe
the site of auditory reception
temporal lobe
wernicke's area is found in the posterior portion of the.....?
temporal lobe
the specific site of auditory reception
Heschl's gyrus
receives visual information
occipital lobe
provides communication concerning sensation and memory among the diverse regions of the two hemispheres by means of myelinated fibers
corpus callosum
connect the cortex with distant locations
projection fibers
provide communication between regions of the same hemisphere
association fibers
fibers that run from major regions of one hemisphere to the corresponding region of the opposite hemisphere
commissural fibers
what is strongly implicated in memory function?
hippocampus
final sensory relay
thalamus
regulates reproductive behavior and physiology, desire, or perception of need for food and water, perception of satiation, control of digestive processes, and metabolic functions including maintenance of water balance and body temperature.
hypothalamus
cerebral artery that supplies the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes, corpus callosum, basal ganglia, and the anterior limb internal capsule
anterior cerebral artery
cerbral artery that courses laterally along the inferior surface of the brain and through the lateral (Sylvian) fissure, providing blood to the lateral surface of the hemispheres, including the temporal lobe, motor strip, Wernicke's area, sensory reception regions, and association area.
middle cerebral artery
serves the inferior temporal and occipital lobes, the medialoccipital lobe and primary visual cortex, upper midbrain, diencephalon, and cerebellum.
posterior cerebral artery
responsible for coordination of sensory and motor commands to facilitate movement
cerebellum
separates the two cerebellar hemispheres
the primary fissure of the cerebellum
voluntary functions are the domain of the.....?
cerebellum
muscle and join position sensation
deep sensation
the sense of the body in motion
kinesthetic sense
cranial nerves are part of the ________ nervous system.
peripheral
ascending or sensory pathways are referred to as_______.
afferent
descending or motor pathways are referred to as_______.
efferent
information generally enters the ________ of the neuron and exits at the ___________.
dendrite/end buttons
white fatty wrapping made up of Scwann cells (in the PNS) or oligodendrocytes (in the CNS) which speeds up neural conduction.
myelin sheath
gray matter is composed of groups of __________.
cell bodies
white matter refers to _________.
myelin
what makes up the brainstem?
medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain
visual info is received by the ___________.
occipital lobe
serves the inferior temporal and occipital lobes, the medial occipital lobe and primary visual cortex, upper midbrain, diencephalon, and cerebellum.
posterior cerebral artery
