functions
connects the spinal cord to the brain and is responsible for the integration of reflexes necessary for survival.
what is the function of the brainstem?
beneath cerebrum, connected to spinal cord
Where is the brainstem?
what makes up the cerebrum?
what are meninges?
very thin membrane which looks like a spider web that lies beneath the dura mater.
what is arachnoid mater?
controls locomotion, balance, posture and acts as a judge of musculoskeletal systems.
between skull and dura mater.
dural folds and dural venous sinus (superior sagittal sinus).
what does the meningeal layer form?
endothelium-lined spaces between the periosteal and meningeal layers of the dura and transport venous blood and cerebrospinal fluid away from the brain.
what are dural venous sinuses?
subdural space; contains very little serous fluid.
What is the space between the arachnoid and dura mater?
What is the function of the diencephalon?
dorsal to the pons and medulla oblongata.
Where is the cerebellum located?
dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
What are the three meningeal membranes?
tough, fibrous, outermost layer of dura mater that forms periosteum of cranial bones.
what is the periosteal layer of dura mater?
the delicate innermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord.
largest part of the brain associated with higher brain function (thought and action) divided into 4 lobes.
what is the function of the cerebrum?
subarachnoid space.
periosteal layer and meningeal layer.
what are the two layers of the dura matter?
the most superficial and thickest membrane composed of dense irregular connective tissue.
ventricles found in each cerebral hemisphere.
what are lateral ventricles of the brain?
series of interconnected cavities that bathe the brain cerebrospinal fluid, are derived from the hollow tube of the embryonic tube and are lined with a single layer of epithelial cells called ependymal cells.
the production of CSF.
what is the diencephalon made up of?
true external covering of the brain that extends into vertebral canal as spinal dura mater.
what is the meningeal layer of dura mater?
the thin membrane that separates lateral ventricles.
what is the septum pellucidum?
