The primary brain vessels include
Prosencephalon (forbrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), AND
rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
The prosencephalon becomes the _____________ and _____________in the future adult regions of the brain.
1)Telencephalon AND
2) Diencephalon
(secondary brain vesicle)
The mesencephalon becomes the _____________ in the future adult.
Mesencephalon (secondary brain vesicle)
The Rhombencephalon becomes the ________ and ________ in the future adult brain.
1) Metencephalon
2) Myelencephalon
(secondary brain vesicle)
The telencephalon's neural canal derivative is the
lateral ventricles
The Telencephalon contains the ___________
cerebrum
The Diencephalon contains the _____, ______ and ____________.
epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus
The Diencephalon's derivative is __________
3rd ventricle
The Mesencephalon's derivative is the __________
Cerebral aqueduct
The Mesencephalon contains the ___,____, and ________.
cerebral punduncles, superior colliculi and inferior colliculi.
The Metencephalon's derivative is the
anterior part of the 4th ventricle
The Metencephalon contains ___ and ____.
1)pons
2)cerebellum
The Myelencephalon's derivative is the
posterior part of 4th ventricle or central canal
The Myelencephalon contains the
medulla oblongata
Embryonic development of the brain contains the
prosencephalon, mesencephalon and rhombencephalon
Cranial Meninges are
connective tissue layers that surround the brain and spinal cord.
Functions of the cranial meninges are
___________, _________ and ________.
1) separate brain from skull
2) enclose and protect blood vessels supplying brain
3) contain and circulate CSF
From skull to brain
scalp, periosteum, bone of skull, periosteal layer, meningeal layer, subdural space, arachnoid, subarachnoid space, arachnoid trabeculae, pia mater, cerebral cortex and white matter.
The periosteal layer and meningeal layer compose the
DURA mater
The brain ventricles are composed of
lateral ventricles, septum pellucidum, third ventricle, mesencephalic (cerebral) aqueduct, fourth ventricle and choroid plexus
CSF is produced in the
choroid plexus
the choroid plexus is made up of
ependymal cells
CSF is
clear and colorless fluid
CSF circulates through the
VENTRICLES
the functions of CSF are
1)buoyancy
2)protection--> provides liquid cushion
3)environmental stability--> transports nutrients, chemical messengers and removes wastes
CSF reduces brain weight by
95%
Hydrocephalus is caused by
obstruction of CSF flow or problems with the arachnoid villi intriscially that results in excessive CSF. BIG HEAD!
Hydrocephalus can be treated by
inserting ventriculoperitoneal shunt or endoscopic 3rd ventriculostomy
the CEREBRUM is the location of
conscious thought processes
The cerebrum is divided into hemispheres but connected by
corpus callosum
The cortex of the cerebrum is composed of
Gray matter which houses motor neurons cell bodies
White matter of the cerebrum houses
mylenated axons
Gyri and sulci account for the large surface area of the
cerebrum
The 5 lobes of the cerebrum are
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal and insula
