Brainstem and Diencephalon
This brain component acts as switchboard operator in directing sensory information coming into the brain.
What is the thalamus?
Numerous folds found on the surface of each cerebral and cerebellar hemisphere.
What are gyri?
Cerebral spinal fluid is produced in what part of the brain?
What are the ventricles?
This cranial nerve carries sensory information from your nose to the brain.
What is cranial nerve II (Olfactory)?
The release of epinephrine and norephinephrine happens during this type of response.
What is sympathetic?
These structures make up the diencephalon.
What is the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pineal gland?
The largest white matter in the cerebrum, part of the commissural tract.
What is the corpus callosum?
CSF is found in this part of the brain and spinal cord.
What is the subarachnoid space?
If you feel pain in your stomach, action potentials are traveling to your brain through this cranial nerve.
What is cranial nerve X (Vagus)?
These type of neurons are both myelinated and secrete acetylcholine.
What is preganglionic?
This part of the brain acts as a bridge for nerve signals travelling to and from cerebellum.
The lobe of the brain responsible for processing information from the general senses.
What is the parietal lobe?
The CSF passes from the brain circulation to the blood stream through this projections.
What is the arachnoid villi?
Parts of this cranial nerve must be anesthetized for dental work.
What is cranial nerve V (Trigeminal)?
This drug is an acetylcholine analog and increases blood pressure.
This part of the brain controls and integrates activities of the autonomic nervous system and pituitary gland.
What is the hypothalamus?
The part of the brain responsible for motor functions like balance, posture, and complex motor actions like walking, writing and speech.
What is the cerebellum?
This space is located between the cerebellum and the pons.
What is the 4th ventricle?
These three cranial nerves are responsible for eye movement.
What are cranial nerves III (Oculomotor), IV (Trochlear), and VI (Abducens)?
Several cranial nerves are part of which branch of the ANS?
What is parasympathetic?
This structure processes involuntary body functions like breathing, heartbeat and blood pressure.
What is the medulla oblongata?
This part of the brain is important for emotion, motivation, and memory.
What is the limbic system?
What are astrocytes (glial cells)?
A legion in this cranial nerve could lead to loss of taste and difficulty swallowing.
What is cranial nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal)?
This type of drug is an antagonist of norepinephrine receptors and slows down the heart.
What is a beta-blocker?
