Front 5

Medulla

Back 5

Continuous with the Spinal Cord.
respiration, heart rate, cough, sneeze, vomit, relays neural information

Front 6

Reticular Formation

Back 6

Region of the Brain Stem extending from the Medulla to the Thalamus.
Arousal!

Front 7

Pons

Back 7

Part of the HINDBRAIN. Connects the MIDBRAIN to the CEREBELLUM.
relays sensory info to cerebellum and thalamus; BRIDGE for cranial/spinal information.

Front 8

Cerebellum

Back 8

"Little Brain"
Structure located at the back of the brain, dorsal to the Pons. Involved in central regulation of Movement.
develops, coordinates complex movement; intended vs actual positions; integrates some sensory and motor functions and cognition

Front 9

Raphe Nuclei

Back 9

involved in the sleep-wake cycle; damage produces insomnia

Front 10

Tectum

Back 10

DORSAL part of the MIDBRAIN.
Combination of the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and INFERIOR COLLICULI which are involved in visual info and eye orientation and also auditory info.

Front 11

Tegmentum

Back 11

two important motor centers (Substantia Nigra, Red Nucleus)

Front 12

Epithalamus

Back 12

contains Habenula, Pineal Gland

Front 13

Thalamus

Back 13

Located Anterior to the Hypothalamus in the DIENCEPHELON.
"Way Station" to the Cerebral Cortex. Relays information from sensory receptors.

Front 14

Hypothalamus

Back 14

detects need states; controls pituitary production and release

Front 15

Pituitary Gland

Back 15

Anterior: GH, TSH, ACTH, GONADATROPIN
Posterior: OXYTOCIN, ADH

Front 16

Tegmentum

Back 16

two important motor centers (Substantia Nigra, Red Nucleus)

Front 17

Epithalamus

Back 17

contains Habenula, Pineal Gland

Front 18

Thalamus

Back 18

relays info from sensory receptors to the cerebral cortex by way of Medial, Lateral and Ventrolateral Geniculate Nuclei

Front 19

Hypothalamus

Back 19

Located UNDER the Thalamus in the UPPERMOST portion of the DIENCEPHALON.
detects need states (HUNGER, THIRST, SEX); controls pituitary production and release

Front 20

Pituitary Gland

Back 20

Anterior: GH, TSH, ACTH, GONADATROPIN
Posterior: OXYTOCIN, ADH

Front 21

Limbic System

Back 21

Involved in Emotion and Learning by way of...Amygdala, Cingulate Gyrus, Hippocampus/Fornix, Olfactory Bulb and Mammilary Bodies

Front 22

Basal Ganglia

Back 22

Located in the FOREBRAIN
Motor Control by way of Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, Globus Pallidus and Substantia Nigra

Front 23

Amygdala

Back 23

Anger and Fear

Front 24

Cingulate Gyrus

Back 24

Part of the LIMBIC SYSTEM in the FOREBRAIN.
Thought to be involved in DIRECTION OF ATTENTION.

Front 25

Hippocampus/Fornix

Back 25

Memory and Learning

Front 26

Mammilary Bodies

Back 26

Connects the Fornix to the Hippocampus

Front 27

Occipital Lobe

Back 27

Primary Visual from Thalamus

Front 28

Parietal Lobe

Back 28

Somatosensory Cortex: touch, pain, pressure, temperature, body position info from Thalamus

Front 29

Temporal Lobe

Back 29

Primary Auditory from Thalamus

Front 30

Frontal Lobe

Back 30

Helps develop plans of action and organizes the activities of other high-level processing systems. Also sequences voluntary movements. Contains the PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX.

Front 31

Dura Mater

Back 31

thick, outermost layer

Front 32

Arachnoid Mater

Back 32

Weblike sheet, middle layer

Front 33

Pia Mater

Back 33

Thin, chemical membrane adherent to brain's surface; innermost layer.
