Cerebral Areas
This area contains personality and is responsible for logic and decision making
Pre-frontal Cortex
Sensory information from the optic nerve travels to what part of the cerebral cortex? (name, not location)
Visual Area
Composed of what 3 structures?
Thalamus, Epithalamus, and hypothalamus
Composed of what 3 visible structures?
Midbrain, pons, medulla
These are the structures that produce CSF
Choroid Plexus
Your Cerebral Cortex is composed of ...?
(White/Grey matter)
Grey Matter
This area allows you to perceive what you are hearing
Auditory Association Area
Houses the gland that secretes Melatonin
Epithalamus
This contains grey matter called the corpora quadrigemina which are responsible for visual and auditory stimuli
Midbrain
How many ventricles are there?
4
Area that has the pyramidal cells which can issue commands to skeletal muscle during voluntary activities.
Pre-central gyrus or primary motor area/cortex
The fact that you can read a book and understand what is happening is thanks to what part of the cortex?
Wernicke's area.
This region plays a role in the endocrine system and houses functional areas such as the satiety and thirst centers.
Hypothalamus
This region of the brainstem filters out unnecessary sensory information
Reticular activating system
Through what structure does CSF travel to get from the lateral ventricles to the 3rd ventricle?
Intraventricular foramen
the Somatosensory area is responsible for what?
Receives sensory information from receptors in the skin related to pain, temperature, touch, vibration, and proprioception. Allows for spacial discrimination as well
This area is on the right side of the temporal lobe and allows you to interpret some non-verbal aspects of language
Affective Language Area
Hypothalamus
This area of the brain stem is responsible for regulating your respiratory rate
Pons
How does CSF get from the arachnoid layer/space into the blood int he dural sinuses?
Through the Arachnoid Villi
This is called the "motor speech area"
Broca's Area
Information from the Cochlea in your ear travels to what part of the cortex?
Auditory Area
Area of the diencephalon that relays motor and sensory information, acting like a switchboard for information
Thalamus
This region of the brain stem basically controls all vital body functions
Medulla Oblongata
This connects the two hemispheres
Corpus Callosum or Commisural Tracts
