Arteries
Arteries
which artery supplies blood primarily to the brainstem and inner ear
basilar
___ transport blood away from the heart
arteries
which area is critical to speech function
broca's area
what is the composed of neurons and allows for the transmission of info between the lobes of the brain
internal capsule
lesions to the hypoglossal nerve can result in ____ paralysis resulting in diminished intelligibility of speech and oral dysphagia
tongue
which artery supplies the lower and lateral portions of the temporal lobe and the middle/lateral portion of the occipital lobes, pons, and diencephalons
PCA (posterior cerebral artery)
__ return blood to the heart
veins
which lobe is the receptor site for somatic sensations such as pain, temp, touch
parietal
what regulates balance, body posture, and fine motor coordination of muscle movements
cerebellum
the sensory fibers of the vagus nerve convey info from the digestive system, _____,_____ trachea, pharynx, and esophagus
heart and lungs
which artery supplies mostly the medial portion of the frontal and parietal lobes as well as the basal ganglia and corpus collosum
anterior cerebral artery
the blood supplies ____ and other nutrients required by the brain
oxygen
which lobes contains key structures of the primary auditory cortex, the auditory association area, and Wernicke's area
temporal
what is a paired structure that regulates sensory info flowing into the brain and is critical to the maintenance of awareness, alterness, and sleep-wake cycles
thalmus
damage to the vagus nerve can result in _______ ____( paralysis of the vocal folds, breathing difficulty, and voice problems)
pharyngeal dysphagia
the aortic arch divides into 4 branches: 2 in ____ and 2 ____
carotid and subclavian
what is part of the motor regulatory system; a highly complex system of neural cells that have nuclei with many subcortical and cortical areas
basal ganglia
which lobe is primarily concerned with vision
occipital
what is a paired structure that regulates sensory info flowing into the brain and is critical to the maintenance of awareness, alterness, and sleep-wake cycles
diencephalon
which cranial nerve is a motor nerve; innervates the head and neck muscles for movement
accessory, XI
what is the main artery of the heart; carries blood from the left ventricle to all parts of the body except the lungs
aorta
the major structures that supply blood to the brain (hint: 4 things)
aorta, vertebral arteries, carotid arteries, and the circle of willis
what is the information super highway of the brain and allows for communication between the hemispheres
corpus callosum
what structure regulates autonomic body functions such as hunger, emotion, and metabolism
hypothalamus
which cranial nerve is a mixed nerve with sensory, motor, and autonomic components
glossopharyngeal, IX
