Cards

Term
Peripheral Nervous System - 3 components
Definition
Spinal Nerves, Cranial Nerves, Ganglia
Term
5th brain lobe? what does the sylvian fissure separate?
Definition
5th lobe = insula. Sylvian (lateral fissure) separate frontal & parietal lobe from the temporal lobe
Term
two parts of cerebral cortex & function?
Definition
1. Primary cortex (primary motor, sensory, auditory visual) 2. Associative cortex (process & integrate info from one/more cortical regions)
Term
brodmann's # for 4 primary cortex parts
Definition
sensory: 3,2,1. Motor: 4. Visual: 17. Auditory: 41
Term
Limbic system: function & parts?
Definition
homeostasis, olfaction, memory, emotion. Made of cortex fr frontal & temporal lobes, amygdyla, hippocampus
Term
Diencephelon: parts & function?
Definition
thalamus, hypo/epi/sub-thalamus. relay station for all sensory & motor inputs.
Term
3 parts of brainstem
Definition
midbrain, pons, medulla
Term
cerebellum. function? where attached? what's the midline region called?
Definition
aspects of motor control. attached at pons via cerebellar peduncles. midline = vermis.
Term
function of glial cells
Definition

1. myelination (oligodendrocytes in CNS, Schwann in PNS)

2. nts removal fr synaptic cleft

3. microglia - phagocytic activity

4. scaffolds during neuronal development

5. CSF production

6. more prone to tumors than neurons

Term
groups of cell bodies are called what in the CNS? what in the PNS?
Definition

CNS - nuclei

PNS - ganglia

Term
peripheral nerve composition (layers with what surrounds them?)
Definition

axon covered by endoneurium

many axons = fascicle

fascicle covered by perineurium

many fascicles = nerve

nerve covered by epineurium

Term
3 vesicle stage of developing nervous system
Definition

Rhombencephelon (hind brain) gives myelencephelon & metencephelon

 

Mesencephelon gives Midbrain

 

Prosencephelon (forebrain) gives Telencephelon & Diencephelon

Term

What does the Telencephelon develop into?

 

Definition

cerebral cortex

cerebral white matter

basal ganglia

 

 


Term
what does diencephelon develop into?
Definition

thalamus

hypothalamus

retina & optic nerve

Term

what does the following develop into?

mesencephelon

metencephelon

myelencephelon

Definition

mes - midbrain

 

met - pons & cerebellum

 

myel - medulla oblongata
