17 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
|
Cerebellum
|
Coordination - processes sensory information to regulate movement
|
|
|
Thalamus
|
Transmits all sensation (except olfaction) to cerebral cortex
|
|
|
Hypothalamus
|
Endocrine and ANS control
|
|
|
Brainstem
|
1. All information relayed from the body to the cerebrum and cerebellum and vice versa, must traverse the brain stem
2. Cranial nerves: sensory, motor and ANS innervation of head and neck; special senses 3. Homeostasis: cardiovascular system control, respiratory control, pain sensitivity control, alertness, awareness, and consciousness |
|
|
Hippocampus
|
Consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory
Spatial navigation. |
|
|
Amygdala
|
Almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep within the medial temporal lobes (anterior to hippocampus, deep to uncus)
Processing of memory and emotional reactions |
|
|
Basal ganglia
|
Caudate nucleus and lenticular nucleus (putamen and globus pallidus)
Caudate nucleus makes up the walls of the lateral ventricles Precise control of movement; related structures in brainstem |
|
|
Frontal lobe
|
Motor cortex and higher cognitive functions
- Broca's area on left |
|
|
Parietal lobe
|
Somatosensory cortex
- conscious sensation - association cortex |
|
|
Occipital lobe
|
Visual cortex
|
|
|
Temporal lobe
|
Auditory cortex
- comprehension of speech (Wernicke's area) |
|
|
Limbic lobe
|
Drives, emotion, memory
CIngulate gyrus: emotional processing of pain and planning of motor movements |
|
|
Pineal gland
|
Role in sleep/awake cycle
|
|
|
Insula
|
Receives information from viscera
Contributes to autonomic components of pain response |
|
|
Midbrain
|
Associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.
|
|
|
Pons
|
Sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture.
|
|
|
Medulla
|
Cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and deals with autonomic, involuntary functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
