|
Forebrain |
Thalamus Hypothalamus Cerebrum Corpus Callosm |
|
Three regions |
Central core -hindbrain Limbic system -forebrain Cerebral Cortex -forebrain |
|
Central core |
Basic life processes In all vertibrates Ex. Heartbeat, breathing, survival Hindbrain |
|
Limbic system |
Emotion, memory, and house keeping -long term care All mammals Forebrain |
|
Cerebral Cortex
|
Higher conscious functioning Ex. math, creative writing Forebrain |
|
Medulla Oblongata
|
Center of Autonomic NS control -heart rate, blood pressure, breathing PNS point of cross over-left side motor neurons crossover to right side of brain Hindbrain-core Motor crossover |
|
Cerebellum
|
Muscle coordination center Balance Muscle memory -walking, playing piano, etc Hindbrain-core |
|
Pons
|
Relays information between the cerebrum and the cerebellum Hindbrain-core Sensory crossover |
|
Midbrain
|
Relays visual and auditory information Hypersensionalized sensory nerves |
|
Thalamus
|
Relays sensory nerve impulses to the proper place. Forebrain-Limbic |
|
Hypothalamus
|
Body temperature, thirst Ns control of the endocrine system Forebrain-Limbic |
|
Pituitary Gland
|
Master endocrine gland Hormonal control of the endocrine system Forebrain-Limbic |
|
Corpus Callosum
|
Bridge information between hemispheres Forebrain-Cerebrum |
|
Cerebrum
|
Center of consciousness-speech, reasoning, memory, personality, and motor functions Outside is the Cerebral Cortex (grey matter) Divided into 4 lobes-Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Ocipital Forebrain |
|
Frontal Lobe
|
Conscious thought Personality Muscle movement Speech(left side) -Broca's area, rough formation of words. |
|
Parietal Lobe
|
Sensation of touch, pain, temperature, and pressure Spatial awareness(body position) |
|
Occipital Lobe
|
Visual processing
|
|
Temporal Lobe
|
Hearing Memory Speech-Wernicke's area, understanding language.(mostly the left side) |
|
Left Hemisphere
|
Logic Language Science and Math |
|
Right Hemisphere
|
Creative Spatial Art and Music |
|
Optic Chiasma
|
Visual Left->right Right->left |
|
Sperry Experiment
|
Spilt-brain patients use different hemispheres to process linguistic and non-linguistic information
|
|
Brain protection
|
Bone-skull and spinal cord Spinal cord Meninges Cerebrospinal Fluid |
|
Spinal Cord
|
Dorsal root carries sensory neurons-back Ventral root carries motor neurons-front |
|
Meninges
|
Three layers of membranes Prevent direct circulation of blood Blood-brain barrier (filter out impurities) |
|
Cerebrospinal Fluid
|
Circulates between the meninges, and down the central spinal cordCushions, hydrates, nourishes
