Nerve fibers connects _______ with other parts of the brain and spinal cord

Cortex

Basal Nuclei function?

Semi-voluntary complex movements (ie running)

Function of cerebellum?

Fine tunes movements, coordinates the movements initiated by the cerebrum

3 brain stem sections

2. Midbrain


3. Pons, medulla oblongata

3 parts of the interbrain

1. Pituitary and pineal glands


2. Hypothalamus


3. Thalamus

Pituitary and pineal glands function

biological clock, master endocrine gland, regulates other endocrine glands via hormones

Hypothalamus function

Coordinates ANS (smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, body temp., thirst center, state of consciousness, hormone secretion)

Thalamus function

Relay center (recieves impulses from other parts of the brain and spinal cord and sends them to the cerebral cortex)

Midbrain function

Visual reflex center, auditory reflex center, CN nuclei and fiber tracts

Pons, and medulla oblongata fuction

CN nuclei, reflex centers- vital functions

Gray H holds?

Nerve cells

White matter connects?

brain to spinal cord

CFS (cerebral spinal fluid) Function

protects, regulates the autonomic functionsn maintains ph balance of brain

what is the dura mater?

tough, protective tissue, tightly bound to the skull

What is the Anachoid and subarachoid space?

Web like strands of connective tissue, blood supplier

What is the pia mater?

Delicate membrane on the floor of the subarachoid space, covers brain surface and blood vessels
