(50 cards)
What does the cerebellum do?
Controls balance, equilibrium, and muscle coordination. AND learning + conditioning, shifting attention from visual to auditory
what does the inferior colliculus do ?
Hearing
what is included in the brain stem
medulla, pons, and midbrain
What is the thalamus ?
gets sensory information and send it to the cerebral cortex.
what does damage to the hypothalamus do ?
causes abnormalities in motivational behaviors (such as drinking, feeding)
What is the Hippocampus ?
a neural center located in the limbic system; helps process explicit memories for storage AND monitors where you are and where you are going.
Forebrain consists of
cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, thalamus, diencephalon, and telencephalon
What is the autonomic nervous system?
the part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
What does acetylcholine do?
it is a neurotransmitter. It simulates or actives the next nerve cell as impulses pass down the a nerve.
What does the basal ganglia do?
movement (emotional and motivational) , and critical to learned skills and habits (Parkinson's and huntington's)
What is the telencephalon?
cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, olfactory bulb, and basil ganglia
What is CSF?
cerebrospinal fluid
what does nucleus basal do ?
Receives input information from hypothalamus and Basal Ganglia. Sends axons that release acetylcholine.
what does the pons do?
its the bridge between the right and left spinal cord
What is the somatic nervous system?
controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles- not set up at birth
where is the forebrain
front of the head
What is the basal ganglia?
Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, and Globus Pallidus
what does the superior colliculus do?
controls visual reflexes
What is the CNS?
brain and spinal cord
what does damage to the basal forebrain do ?
Affects arousal, wakefulness, and attention
what is important about the hypothalamus ?
control of eating , drinking, temperature, and reproductive behavior
two swellings of the tectum?
Inferior and superior colliculus
What is the thalamus?
What happens when CSF flow is obstructed ?
increases pressure of the brain and a enlarged head "hydrocephalus" (retard)
what is the tegmentum ?
under the tectum
what is in the diencephalon
epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus
What makes autonomic PNS
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
What makes the nervous system?
CNS + PNS
what is in the hindbrain
medulla, pons, and cerebellum
what are ventricles ?
fluid filled spaces in the brain
What makes PNS?
Somatic and autonomic
where is the hind brain
back of the head
Midbrain
tectum, inferior and superior colliculus, tegmentum, and substantia
what does the substantia do ?
Gives a dopamine-containing pathway which allows for readiness of movement
what does the basal forebrain do ?
contains nucleus basal
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
"Rest and digest" Blood pressure/heart rate decrease, digestive increases.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
"Fight or flight" Blood pressure/heart rate increase, digestive slowing.
what does the medulla do?
Controls breathing, HR, Salivation, and other somatic and autonomic functions.
Where is the hippocampus located?
Between thalamus and cerebral cortex
what is the cerebral cortex ?
outer layer of the cerebrum
what is in the limbic system ?
Olfactory bulb, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdula, and cingulate gyrus
what is the PNS
connects the CNS to sensory organs, muscle, blood vessels and glands
what is important for the amygdula
evaluating emotional information (fear)
What does the pituitary gland do?
secretes hormones based on message from hypothalamus
where is the midbrain
middle of the head
what is the tectum?
roof of the midbrain
what makes the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
what is the Substantia ?
under the Tegmentum
What does the hypothalamus do?
sends messages to alter pituitary gland hormone release
what is the basal ganglia ?
