Regions of the Brain
Regulates heart rate and breathing
Brain Stem
a medical procedure where a thin needle is inserted into the lower back
Spinal Tap
Slight brain injury, no permanent damage
Concussion
Contains primary motor cortex, controls most body movement, planning and decision making
Frontal Lobe
A motor nerve that controls the muscles in the face and scalp
Facial
Connects the cerebrum with the rest of the nervous system
Diencephalon
Vaccines developed by Salk and Sabin have nearly eliminated this spinal disease
Poliomyelitis (Polio)
Progressive degenerative brain disease commonly seen in the elderly
Alzheimer’s Disease
Input from Optic nerve
Occipital Lobe
Conveys impulses for light
Opric
Has an outer cortex of gray matter, controls coordination and balance
Cerebral Hemisphere
Fills the central canal of the spinal cord
Cerebrospinal Fluid
Swelling from an inflammatory response
Cerebral edema
Inputs are auditory and visual patterns, controls speech, face, and word recognition
Temporal Lobe
Responsible for sense of smell
Olfactory
Outer cortex of gray matter, controls motor learning
Cerebellum
Progressive destruction of anterior horn motor neurons due to abnormal genes.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Nervous tissue destruction occur, does not regenerate
Contusion
Hand-eye coordination, eye movements, attention
Parietal Lobe
Controls the oblique muscles of the eye
Trochlear
Key parts of the diencephalon, located deep in the brain
The thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus
Spinal cord injury can result in sensory loss, also called:
Paresthesias
Commonly called a stroke, result of ruptured blood vessel supplying brain
Cerebrovascular Accident
Physical development of the brain is complete at age?
