Definition
tail or hind end
Term
dorsal, ventral
Definition
back/ top side belly or bottom side
Term
lateral
Definition
away from midline
Term
medial
Definition
towards midline
Term
proximal ,distal
Definition
closer/ farther away
Term
meninges
Definition
3 layers protecting and covering B and scord,
1. dura mater 2. arachnoid membrane 3. pia mater
Term
CNS chart
Definition
CNS- S.cord- B- - Hind/ mid/ foreB
Term
PNS chart
Definition
somatic-- afferent---efferent
---autonomic--- sympathetic--(aff--eff)---parasympathetic-- (aff---eff)
Term
CNS define
Definition
B and S cord
contains 99? of all neurons/nerve cells in the body (100 billion; glia 10-15x)
Term
PNS define
Definition
connects CNS to muscles, glands and organs
Symp (acute activation or chronic stress) (afference to B, efferent away from)
parasym (reg. normal body functions)
Term
spinal nerves
Definition
31 pairs, sensory afferents: dorsal root; unipolar
motor efferents: ventral root; multipolar
Term
hindbrain function
Definition
respiration, heart pressure, blood presure, arousal
vomiting , coughing, sneezing
movement
relays info., visual and audiotry info. processing
- has Reticular Formation (-regs. B arousal, in medulla and pons)
Term
midbrain
Definition
relays info., visual and audiotory processing
Term
forebrain
Definition
learning, memory, cognition, motivation, emotion, reward
Term
Divisons of the audult human brain
Definition
FOREBRAIN- telecephalon, diencephalon
MIDBRAIN- Mesencephalon
HINDBRAIN- Metencephalon
myelencephalon
Term
BRAIN STEM SECTIONS
Definition
FORE- thalamus, hypothalamus under thalamic tissue
MIDB- 2 bumps superior and inferior colloculi
HINDB- Pons, Medulla, Spinal Cord
Term
Midbrain: Mesencephalon functions
Definition
- neural pathways between forebrain and spinal cord or hindbrain
- monoamine neuron cell bodies/clusters
(speacilize in making monoamine neurotrans. like DA)
- inferior colliculi- auditory info processing
- superior colliculi- visual processing (these two form 'tectum'/ 'roof' dorsal)
tecmentum- midbrain, ('floor'- ventral)
cerebellum- larger in animals with more move. and faster
Term
in brain growth...
Definition
volume increases because..
-cell proliferation
-cell differentiation (synaptic pruning)
- cell migration
-reduction in neurons as we grow
(we are all forebrain baby)
Term
Nuclei vs. ganglia
Definition
cell clusters...
nuclei IN CNS
ganglia OUTSIDE CNS
Term
Diencephalon 3 parts and location
Definition
thalamus
hypothalamus
pituitary
-in forebrain
Term
Diencephalon functions
Definition
-sensory processing
-motivated beavior
-hormonal signaling which interacts w behav.
- the 'between brain' that integrates sensory and motor info. on the way to the cerebral cortex
- they activate one another (thalamus-->putitary-->stress release in PNS--->hypo. to shut it down i.e.)
