100

This is how much a brain weighs.

What is 3 lbs?

100

these are the type of nerve cells (3) 

Bonus 3 points for a description of each. 

What is association, sensory, and motor?

sensory (part of the 5 senses- touch, taste, smell, hearing, and seeing), 

association (memory and interpretation of information), and 

motor (moving) neurons. 

100

These are the four main parts of the brain.  


what are: 

  • the cerebrum, 

  • cerebellum, 

  • diencephalon 

  • and the brain stem 

100

This is the largest part of the brain. 

What is the cerebrum?

200

this is a lack of blood to the brain.

What is ischemia?

200

the thin layer of liquid in the brain and spinal cord. 

what is cerebrospinal fluid?

200

These 2 parts make up the diencephalon.  

what is the thalamus and hypothalamus?

200

This is what the cerebrum controls. (Up to 4 points)

 

what is: 

  • most physical activities, 

  • reasoning, 

  • and memory; 

  • it is the “higher-level” brain function

  

300

If the brain is lacking oxygen, it is called this. 

hypoxia

300

These produce and secrete the CFS into the ventricles (hollow spaces)- mostly lateral ventricles.

What are ependymal cells (neuroglia)? 

300

These 3 make up the brainstem. 

what is  the midbrain, pons, and medulla? 

300

 The outer layer of the cerebrum- 2 names.  

 What is the the gray matter?

300

This is found in-between the two hemispheres- called 2 names.   

What is the white matter or the corpus callosum?  

400

The folds of the gray matter are called this, often called this.  (2 answers) 

what are the gyri? the hills.

400

These are the 4 functions of CSF.


what is: 

  1. To cushion and protect the brain and spinal cord, 

  2.  Supplies nutrients to the brain

  3. Removes brain waste materials- bacteria, viruses, unnecessary molecules, metabolizes waste products, etc.…

  4. Can be used to determine diseases of the brain 



400

The gray matter holds these. 

what are the cell bodies of neurons?

400

The white matter does this.

What is allows the two sides of the brain to exchange information?

500

The gyri does this.  

What is increase the surface area of the cortex.

500

The sulci are these.   

The sulci are the grooves between the gyri; they are the shallow depressions (valleys).

500

This is the main function of commissural pathways  (commissures).


what is:. 

  • allows the two hemispheres to communicate with one another.  

  • are involved in many functions including cognitive functions like memory and several motor and perceptual functions.
