Subcortical Structure
Brain Storm
Protection of the Brain
Liquids of the Brain
100
This area of the brain controls language expression and syntax.
Broca's Area
100
This structure is made up of many nuclei, and contains both the thalamus and hypothalamus.
The Diencephalon
100
During the resting potential, there is more of this element that sodium.
Potassium (K+)
100
This layer of the meninges is the most superficial.
The Dura Mater
100
This structure is the joining area for several arteries and is located at the bottom (inferior) side of the brain.
The Circle of Willis
200
This area is the place where the frontal and temporal lobes meet.
The Lateral Fissure
200
This structure's functions includes processing most sensory info, encoding information passed through it, and maintaining sleep and wake cycles.
The Thalamus
200
These nerves carries both motor and sensory info to and from areas below the neck.
The spinal nerves
200
The space below this layer contains CSF, cranial nerves, arteries, and veins.
The Arachnoid Mater
200
The ventricles of the brain contain this fluid.
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF)
300
This lobe contains areas such as the hippocampus and Wernicke's Area
Temporal Lobe
300
This structure, that deals with hormone control, is associated with the hypothalamus.
The Pineal Gland
300
During the action potential, this is the primary cause of the rising phase.
The rapid entry of sodium (Na+) into the cell.
300
An epidural hemorrhage is the laceration of this artery.
The middle meningeal artery (and branches).
300
The anterior, posterior, and inferior horns are part of this system of ventricles.
The Lateral Ventricle System.
400
This area deals with language comprehension and lexical semantics.
Wernicke's Area
400
This structure is made up of a set of 3 nuclei, including the caudate nucleus.
The Basal Ganglia
400
These nerves carry motor and sensory information to and from areas above the neck.
The cranial nerves
400
These bony frameworks help protect the brain, along with the meninges.
The spinal column and the cranium.
400
This artery passes laterally and superiorally between the temporal lobe and the insula to cortex.
The Middle Cerebral Artery
500
This lobe deals with visual processing.
The Occipital Lobe
500
The pituitary gland hangs off the base of this structure.
The Hypothalamus
500
This type of ion channel works consistently without regard to changes in the membrane.
Non-Gating Ion Channels
500
These are the names of the two potential spaces inside the meninges.
The epidural and subdural spaces.
500
This artery supplies blood to the occipital lobes, the inferior lobes, and the thalamus, to name a few.
The Posterior Cerebral Artery
