Nifty Neurons
100

Controls your superior oblique muscle

Trochlear Nerve

100

Has to do with optic muscle function and pupil responses

Oculomotor Nerve

100

Controls the muscles in the neck

Accessory Nerve

100

This lobe is primarily used for higher cognitive function

Frontal Lobe

100

This separates the Cerebrum from the Cerebellum

Transverse Fissure

100

This part of the brainstem has to do with many passive functions and means bridge in latin

Pons

100

The functional cell type of the nervous system.

Neuron or Nerve Cell

200

Sensory nerve that has to do with vision

Optic Nerve

200

Controls a muscle that has to do with outward eye movement (looking to the side)

Abducens Nerve

200

One of the nerves we could see on our Sheep brains. Is located toward the center of the brain.

Optic Nerve

200

This lobe is primarily used for visual functions

Occipital Lobe

200

This separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres

Longitudinal Fissure

200

This part of the brainstem has to do with breathing, heart rate and digestion

Medulla Oblongata

200

A small space between neurons

Synapse

300

Moves muscles for facial expression and some in the jaw

Facial Nerve

300

Transmits signals that have to do with smell

Olfactory Nerve

300

Involved with hearing and balance

Vestibulocochlear Nerve

300

Also means little brain. Is primarily used for motor functioning.

Cerebellum

300

This separates the Frontal and Parietal lobes from the Temporal Lobe

Lateral Sulcus

300

This part of the brainstem is found within the brainstem and is used for motor movement as well as auditory and visual processing.

Midbrain

300

Carries signals from the cell body to the terminals

Axon

400

Separated into three divisions: Ophthalmic, Maxillary, and Mandibular

Trigeminal Nerve

400

Responsible for movement of muscles in the tongue

Hypoglossal Nerve

400

One of the nerves we could see on our Sheep brains. Is located toward the front of the brain.

Olfactory Nerve

400

This lobe is used for auditory processing and general language comprehension

Temporal Lobe
400

This allows for communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain

Corpus Callosum

400

This composes the outer part of the brain and holds nearly 75% of the nervous system's neurons.

Gray Matter

400

Sends information away from the nerve cell in the form of impulses

Axon Terminals

500

Communicates sensation from the ear canal and parts of the throat and also sends sensory information from the organs in the chest and trunk

Vagus

500

Sends sensory information from the sinuses, back of the throat, parts of the inner ear, and the back of the tongue

Glossopharyngeal Nerve

500

The largest of the cranial nerves.

Trigeminal Nerve

500

This lobe is used for sensory perception and integration

Parietal Lobe

500

This separates the Frontal and Parietal lobe

Central Sulcus

500

The inner part of the brain which makes up the bulk of its weight.

White Matter

500

The end of a neuron that receives input from other cells

Dendrites
