  • 3rd side (hint)
Name the six regions of the brain.
1. cerebrum; 2. diencephalon; 3. midbrain; 4. pons; 5. medulla oblongata; 6. cerebellum
functions of the cerebrum
conscious thoughts;
intellectual functions
memory
complex movements
Structure of the cerebrum
divided into left and right hemispheres by longitudinal fissure.

Lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
what is the dividing line of the cerebrum called
longitudinal fissure
name the lobes of the cerebrum
frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital
outer part of the cerebrum
gray matter called the cerebral cortex.
function of cerebral cortex
receives sensory information and sends motor commands
what is beneath the cerebral cortex
white matter that includes the corpus callosum
corpus collosum
connects and holds the two cerebral hemispheres together
basal nuclei
within the central white matter are defined regions of gray matter
learning and memory
unconscious control of movement
what forms the walls of the third ventricle (diencephalon)?
epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus
roof of the third ventricle (diencephalon)
Epithalamus (pineal gland??)
Anterior part of the roof of the third ventricle
choroid plexus. cerebrial spinal fluid
Where is the pineal gland located?
posterior part of the roof of the third ventricle.
secretion of pineal gland
hormone melatonin
regulated by melatonin
biological clock (day-night cycle)
form of thalamus
conisists of left and right separated by third ventricle
**function of thalamus
**
processes sensory information, filtering most of info, allowing a small amount to reach the cerebral cortex
hypothalamus location
lies inferior to the third ventricle
function of hypothalamus
regulates body temp;
controls skeletal muscle contrations associated with pleasure, anger, and pain;
contrlols autonomic nervous system
midbrain
consists of sensory and motor neurons
function of midbrain
processes visual and auditory sensory information

colliculi
collliculi
sensory nuclei
inferior- controls reflexes in response to auditory
superior- controls reflexes in response to visual
cerebrospinal fluid functions
transports nutrients, waste products, and chemical messengers

surrounds exposed surfaces of the CNS and cushions (supports) the CNS
choroids plexus
network of capillaries found in all four ventricles and ependymal cells (glial cells)???
peripheral nervous system
links CNS to the body

carries sensory and motor commands

cranial and spinal nerves, ganglia
location and makeup of cranial nerves
originates in the base of brain; made up of sensory and motor axons (??how does this differ from spinal??)
function of cranial nerves
provides sensory and motor neuons to and from the head, neck, and viscera of the throacis and abdomninopelvic cavities
N I, NII, NIII
Olefactory nerves, Optic Nerves, Oculomotor Nerves
N IV, N V
