What part of the brain is considered voluntary
What is the cerebrum
Function of the occipital lobe
What is sight/vision
Part of the brain stem that regulates the VITAL CENTERS (heartbeat, respiration and blood pressure), swallowing and coughing
What is the medulla oblongata
CSF is produced by special ventricular structures called
What are the choroid plexuses
A condition caused by continuous repetitive movement of the wrist
What is Carpal Tunnel
Name the structures of the diencephalon
What are the thalamus and hypothalamus
The lobe of the brain that primarily interprets hearing impulses but also allows us to smell and assists with balance
What is the temporal lobe
The part of the brain stem responsible for conducting impulses between brain parts and certain eye reflexes
What is the midbrain
Functions of CSF
What are protection, removal of metabolic wastes, and transfer of nutrients to brain and spinal cord
A chronic, progressive disabling condition resulting in degeneration/destruction of the myelin sheath
What is multiple sclerosis
Part of the diencephalon responsible for Autonomic nervous system regulation of BODY TEMPERATURE, appetite, water balance, and sleep
What is the hypothalamus
Functions of this lobe include: recognizing pain, cold, and light touch (Somatic sensory area); understanding speech (Wernicke area); recognition of objects, places and events; memory and taste
What is the parietal lobe
Part of the brain stem responsible for reflex actions such as chewing, tasting, and saliva production
What is the pons
After circulating CSF is absorbed into the blood stream via these structures
What are the arachnoid villi
A chronic neuromuscular disease resulting in total body paralysis but does not affect mental acuity
What is ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease
Part of the brain responsible for muscle coordination, balance, equilibrium, posture and muscle tone
What is the cerebellum
Name the structure connecting the right and left cerebral hemispheres
What is the corpus callosum
The medulla oblongata exits the skull through the magum foreman where does it end
What is C2
Excessive accumulation of CSF
