Brain
Outermost Meninge of the brain
Dura Mater
Number of Cranial Nerves
12
The nucleus is located in this structure
Soma/ Cell body
The most inferior spinal nerves
Coccygeal
Name the difference between the PNS and CNS
CNS: Brain and Spinal Cord
PNS: Everything else
The right and left hemispheres of the brain are held together by this structure
Corpus Collasum
Cranial Nerve 1 is responsible for this
Smell
Dendrites are responsible for this purpose
Receiving information
Name the Reflex: You touch a hot pan and pull your hand away
Flexor Reflex/ Withdrawal Reflex
Anesthetics are given in this region
Epidural Space
Basic Life functions happen in this region of the brain.
Medulla Oblongata
This cranial nerve is responsible for your gag reflex
10/ Vagus Nerve
Resting Membrane Potential
-70 mV
Spinal nerves are what kind of functional nerves
Sensory and Motor
White Matter and Grey Matter are called this respectively due to the concentration of this structure
Myelin/ Myelin Sheaths
Name the 5 lobes of the brain
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital, Insula
The gaps between myelin sheaths are known as this term
Nodes of Ranvier
At the synaptic cleft, nerves transmit information to other nerves with these
Define Plexus
Branches of groups of nerves that converge and diverge, forming webs
Intramuscular injections given in the gluteus medius muscle rather than in the larger gluteus maximus muscle in the buttock region for this reason
To avoid hitting the sciatic nerve
The brain has this number of ventricles
4
Cranial Nerve 2 is this type of functional nerve
Sensory
In the CNS these cells form the myelin sheath
Oligodendrocytes
Lumbar Punctures take place in this region
Subarachnoid Space
Name all three universal properties of neurons
Excitability, Conductivity, Secretion
