Cns, Cortex-Lobes And Areas, Memory

Front 1

The nuclei of the CNS can be grouped together into functional systems, what are they?

Back 1

Motor System, Visual System, Limbic System, Reticular Formation, and Hypothalamus.

Front 2

Motor System?

Back 2

Any area of the brain and nervous system in order to make movement. Brain plans movement located in prefrontal cortex.

Front 3

Visual System?

Back 3

Eyeball is outgrowth of diencephalon, connected to the lateral geniculate nucleus and superior colliculus.

Front 4

Hypothalamus?

Back 4

Regulates homeostasis and food/hunger.

Front 5

Limbic System?

Back 5

Consists of subsystems, involves executive functioning and learning with emotions.

Front 6

Reticular Formation?

Back 6

Small area located in core of the brain, oldest area of brain, controls vital body functions such as heart rate.

Front 7

Classification of Axon types?

Back 7

Association pathways, Commissural pathways, and Projections pathways.

Front 8

Association pathways?

Back 8

Collection of axons that connects different parts of the cortex in the same hemisphere.

Axons of neurons which make up associated pathways are cingulum girdle.

Front 9

Commisural pathways?

Back 9

Pathways of Axons that connect one hemisphere with another, largest is Corpus Callosum.

Homotopic (same) connects one hemisphere to other hemisphere.

Front 10

Projection pathways?

Back 10

Majority of brain, axons that leave nuclei and connect to other nuclei.

Example is Pyramidal neurons, located in the cortex.

Front 11

Corticospinal tract?

Back 11

Two separate tracts in the spinal cord, where axons cross over.

Front 12

Define Cortico and Spinal?

Back 12

Cortico - Origin of the cell body
Spinal - End of axons in spinal cord

Front 13

Eye projection pathways is called?

Back 13

Retinogeniculate pathway

Front 14

Describe cerebral language area of the brain.

Back 14

Bark of the outer part of hemisphere, composed of grey matter.

Front 15

Ridges or folds of brain called?

Back 15

Gyri (in singular - gyrus)

Front 16

Valleys within the folds of the brain called?

Back 16

Sulci (in singular - Sulcus)

If deep, called fissure.

Front 17

Where is the Sylvian fissure?

Back 17

Horizontal deep valley across the brain.

Front 18

Area 17?

Back 18

Primary visual cortex, striate cortex, and calcarine cortex.

Front 19

Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Temporal Lobe?

Back 19

Frontal - Primary Motor cortex
Parietal - Primary Somatosensory (sensation skin & deep tissue)
Occipital - Visual
Temporal - Auditory

Front 20

Anterograde Amnesia?

Back 20

Loss ability to learn new information.

Front 21

Retrograde Amnesia?

Back 21

Loss of old memories.

Front 22

Functions of Hippocampus?

Back 22

DOES NOT STORE MEMORIES, filters and sends packets of information to other parts of the brain

Front 23

Short Term memory?

Back 23

Working memory lasting a few hours.

Front 24

Working memory?

Back 24

Executive functioning of prefrontal cortex, planning and goal setting. (ADHD)

Front 25

Procedural or Skill Learning?

Back 25

First memory function.

Front 26

Episodic memory?

Back 26

Consciously recall past experiences.

Front 27

Explicit memory?

Back 27

Factual knowledge, (names, faces, events, things)

Front 28

Implicit memory?

Back 28

Solidifying skills and habits learned, non-conscious such as talking, eating, riding a bike.
