Think outside the lobes!
This part of the brain responsible emotions, personality, morality, intellect, and speech
Frontal Lobe
A man was hit in the head and now has difficulty walking and maintaining his balance. This part of the brain is MOST LIKELY affected?
Cerebellum
This is the basic structural unit of the nervous system
Neuron
This is the order that an impulse travel through parts of a neuron
dendrite -> soma -> axon -> axon terminals
Type of neuron which emerges from the skin or sense organs and carry impulses toward spinal cord or brain is a/an ____.
Afferent, Sensory
This lobe of the brain is the sensory area that receives and interprets messages from pain, touch, heat, & cold receptors.
Parietal Lobes
A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between these two parts
dura mater and arachnoid layer of the brain
On the neuron, this is where you would you find a myelin sheath
The axon
Cerebral spinal fluid is produced by the
Choroid Plexus
This type of neuron emerges from the spinal cord and carries an impulse away from the brain.
Efferent Neuron, Motor Neuron
This part of the brain that regulates heart rate, and the respiratory rate, swallowing & vomiting
Medulla Oblongata
In Parkinson’s disease, a person exhibits a shuffling gate, tremors, and muscular rigidity, thought to be caused by a decrease in:
Dopamine
(Leva-DOPA is the corrective medicaiton)
This structure holds together the two hemispheres and is made up of a wide band of axonal fibers
Corpus Callosum
The innermost covering of the brain, which consists of blood vessels held together by fine areolar connective tissue:
Pia Mater
If a neuron were to lose its myelin sheath, this would MOST LIKELY happen?
The signals would slow, reflexes would not be fast
This fissure divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe
Central Fissure
A chronic inflammatory disease in which immune cells attack the myelin sheath of nerve cell axons
Multiple Sclerosis
These are the shallow furrows or grooves of the cerebrum
Sulci
These are the 4 large hollow spaces in the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and the order they flow
The 4 Ventricles, from the lateral ventricles, through the intraventricular foramen to the third, then through the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth
Abnormal electrical impulses in the neurons of the brain cause _____. The treatment is_____.
Epilepsy/ Seizure
Anticonvulsant Medications, First Aid Procedures
This part of the brain accounts for the largest part of the brain
Cerebrum
This inflammatory disease affects the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord
Meningitis
This is where you would find the dura mater
Between the skull and arachnoid
This liquid would most likely be withdrawn if a needle were inserted into a ventricle in the brain
CSF
The membrane wrapping the fasicle is the:
perineurium
