The innermost meninx is called the

pia mater

Pia mater means

weak mother

dura mater means

tough mother

There are ___ cranial nerves

12

c1 (cranial nerve) is the

olfactory nerve

c2 (cranial nerve) is the

optic nerve

c1 controls

smell

c2 controlls

sight

The structure that looks like a white rubber band is called the

corpus callosum

The corpus callosum

allows the two hemispheres to communicate

The part of the brain stem that is the "hump" is the

pons

The part of the brain that regulates body temperature

hypothalamus

The "switchboard" of the brain

thalamus

The part of the brain that controls the pituitary gland

hypothalamus

The Arbor Vitae is located in the

cerebellum

This separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe

central sulcus

This separates the two hemispheres

longitudinal fissure

Which glial cell cleans up cellular debris via phagocytosis

microglia

which glial cell supports and repairs neurons and form the brain-blood barrier within the CNS

astrocytes

Which glial cell encapsulate and provide protection and support for the cell bodies of peripheral neurons in the many peripheral ganglia

satellite glial cell

Which glial cell myelinates axons in the PNS

Schwann cells

Which glial cells myelinates axons in the CNS

oligodendrocytes

What is includes in the CNS

Brain and spinal cord

What is included in the PNS

nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord

What is the function of the PNS

connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the limbs and organs.

What is an axon

the long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.

_______________ have the amazing ability to gather and transmit electrochemical signals

neurons

small, branchlike projections of the cell make connections to other cells and allow the neuron to talk with other cells or perceive the environment. They can be located on one or both ends of a cell.

dendrites

____________ helps to speed transmission of a nerve impulse down a long axon

Myelin

Myelinated neurons are typically found in the

peripheral nerves (sensory and motor neurons)

Non-Myelinated neurons are typically found in the

brain and spinal cord

The ____________ is responsible for things that keep you alive such as breathing, and heart rate.

brain stem

The __________ controls sneezing and vomiting

brain stem

relays sensory information between brain regions and controls many autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system. It also connects structures of the endocrine system with the nervous system and works in conjunction with limbic system structures to generate and manage emotions and memories.

Diencephalon

The diencephalon, along with the telencephalon (cerebrum) comprise the two major divisions of the

prosencephalon(forebrain).

Main structures of the diencephalon include

the hypothalamus, thalamus, epithalamus (including the pineal gland), and subthalamus.

The hindbrain is made up of what

* Metencephalon
* Myelencephalon
