Lobes of the Brain
This lobe is responsible for hearing and comprehension of language
What is the Temporal Lobe?
This vessel transfers oxygenated blood from the vertebral arteries to the Circle of Willis
What is the Basilar Artery?
The outermost layer of gray matter that makes up the superficial aspect of the cerebrum
What is the Cerebral Cortex?
This insulates the Neuron and allows electrical impulses to travel faster
What is the Myelin Sheath?
The ability to comprehend speech but inability (or decreased motor ability) to speak or form words
What is Broca's Aphasia?
This lobe is responsible for personality, reasoning, consciousness and voluntary movement
What is the Frontal Lobe?
This is the joining area of several arteries in the brain
What is the Circle of Willis?
The 3 parts that make up the brainstem
The three main parts of the Neuron
What are the Dendrites, Cell body, and Axon?
There are two types of stroke, Hemorrhagic and ________.
What is Ischemic?
This lobe interprets visual information
What is the Occipital Lobe?
These vessels transfer oxygenated blood from the common carotid arteries of the neck to the Circle of Willis
What are the Internal Carotid Arteries?
These make up the Diencephalon
What are the Thalamus and Hypothalamus?
The gaps between Schwann Cells that serve as points along the Neuron for generating a signal
What are Nodes of Ranvier?
A chronic autoimmune disorder that is caused by the destruction of myelin sheaths covering neurons in the central canal
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Memory centers can be found in these two lobes of the brain
What are the Frontal and Temporal Lobes?
These vessels transfer oxygenated blood from the subclavian arteries up through the transverse forminae to the basilar artery
What are the Vertibral Arteries?
This type of fissure divides the two cerebral hemispheres
What is the Longitudal Fissure?
Junctions between neurons to connect them
What Are Synapses?
The disease known as Parkinson's can be caused by a decrease in this neurotransmitter
What is Dopamine?
This lobe is responsible for senses and sensation as well as spacial awareness
What is the Parietal Lobe?
This vessel connects the right and left anterior cerebral arteries
What is the Anterior Communicating Artery?
This is the delicate, innermost layer of the Meninges
What is the Pia Mater?
The part of the part of the Neuron that transmits messages from the cell body towards another Neuron
What is the Axon?
Irreversible damage can occur if blood does not travel to the brain for this amount of time
What is 5 minutes?
