cerebellum and pons
Term
the myelencephalon becomes:
Definition
medulla oblongata
Term
what consists of hte cerebral hemispheres and makes up the largest part of the brain?
Definition
cerebrum
Term
longitudinal fissure is also called:
Definition
interhemispheric fissure
Term
central sulcus also called:
Definition
fissure of rolando
Term
lateral fissure
Definition
sylvian fissure
Term
what of both hemispheres are shared and integrated by way of the corpus callosum
Definition
memories, experiences, and actions
Term
what is the small tube-shaped midbrain canal that connects the 3rd adn 4th ventricles?
Definition
cerebral aqueduct of sylviua
Term
spinal cord: white matter
What starts in spinal cord and goes to thalamus-largely sensory
Definition
spinothalamic
Term
what is anterior and lateral spinothalamic tracts-diffuse touch, pain and temp
Definition
anterolateral system
Term
Is lateral spinal cord- travels from spinal cord to cerebellum
Definition
spinocerebellar
Term
unconscious proprioception
Definition
dorsal and ventral
Term
ascending fibers of fasciculi gracilis on teh back in the sensory. ascending fiebres discriminate touch pressure adn position of lower half of the body
Definition
dorsal fasciculus
Term
motor-starts in cortex and goes to spinal cord... motor ascending (anterior and ventral portions
Definition
lateral corticospinal fibers
Term
_____ is f.g and f.c fibers-both traveling up the spinal cord
Definition
dorsal lemniscal column
Term
sensory nuclei=
Definition
dorsal horns
Term
____ both 2nd order neurons for pain and temp. (2nd synapse for pain and temp as it travels up the body)
Definition
substantia gelatinosa
Term
same as SG-located above
Definition
nucleus proprius
Term
Thoracic region 1-Lumbar level 3; and contributes to spinal cerebellar-sensory unconsciouness
Definition
nucleus dorsal of clark
Term
what is front and center; decussation of pyramidal fibers(motor) and crossing over corticospinal tract
-becomes more lateral after decussaion
-lateral corticospinal tract in spinal cord
Definition
pyramid
Term
_____=dorsal medial
Definition
fasciculus gracilis
Term
_____=dorsal lateral
Definition
fasciculus cuneatus
Term
_____ is where lateral to f.c and carries sensory; ascending for pain and temp. for face
Definition
spinal trigeminal nucleus adn tract
Term
what diffuses distribution, sprinkled throughout caudal medulla; more CENTRALLY LOCATED-Sleep wakefulness & consciousness cycles; shuts down brain to recover; medial to trigeminal nucleus
Definition
reticular formation
Term
part of the caudal medulla:
_____ enters at caudal medulla; ascend ipsilaterally in dorsal leminiscus

Definition
medial lemniscus
Term
____ is in the medulla; inferior lowest peduncle; ipsilateral unsconscious proprioception from lower and middle body to cerebellum
Definition
inferior cerebelllar peduncle
Term

Definition
central gray
Term
_____ just below central gray; point for exit for hypoglossal nerve: all tongue muscles except palatal glossal
Definition
hypoglossal nucleus
Term
_______ is inferior to hypoglassal nucleus; cervical spinal cord to brainstem (where they join)
Definition
medial longitudinal fasciculus
Term
medial longitudinal fasciculus is very crucial to _______; head-eye coordination;

____ is motor; undecussted b/c above where crosses
Definition
pyramids
Term
______ sensory for the face pain and temp.
Definition
spinal trigeminal nucleus tract
Term
