300

Is the floor of the 4th ventricle divided? 

if yes what divides it

ye 

the median sulcus 

300

Removal of the amygdala would result in what happenning? 

What can the ANS be broken down into? 

Lack of aggression


Sympathetic and parasympathetic

400

What are the contents Cistern of lateral sulcus? 

Middle cerebral artery and veins & fronto-orbital veins

400

What are the boundaries of the anterior horn? 

  • Roof- Anterior part of body of corpus callosum
  • Floor-Rostrum of corpus callosum
  • Medial wall- Septum pellucidum, Column of fornix
  • Anterior wall- Genu of corpus callosum
400

WHat can be found on the floor of the 3rd ventricle? 

  • Floor is composed of optic chaisma, tuber cinereum, infundibulum or pituitary stalk, mamillary body, posterior perforated substance, tegmentum of midbrain.

a. Nuclei of hypoglossal nerve

b. vestibular nuclei

c. nuclei for vagus, glossopharyngeal and cranial accessory nerves

400

What are 5 effects that activation of the sympathetic nervous system would have? 

dilates the pupils
opens the eyelids
stimulates the sweat glands
dilates the blood vessels in large muscles
constricts the blood vessels in the rest of the body
increases the heart rate
opens up the bronchial tubes of the lungs
inhibits the secretions in the digestive system

500

What are the contents (blood vessels) of superior cistern? 

  • Great cerebral vein of Galen, posterior cerebral arteries, superior cerebellar arteries.

There are 3 parts of the floor, name them and say how they were formed 

  • Upper triangular part- formed by posterior surface of pons
  • Lower triangular part- formed by upper part of posterior surface of medulla
  • Intermediate part is identified by the presence of transverse arranged fibres --- stria medullaris from arcuate nucleus to opposite cerebellum
500

What are 5 effects stimulation of parasympathetic would cause ? 

pupil constriction
