Pot Pouri
100
This has 3 parts: the body, the axon, and the dendrites.
What is a neuron?
100
These bones provide structure for the sides and the roof of the cranium, whereas these bones provide structure for the sides of the cranium.
What are the parietal bones and temporal bones?
100
This lobe is responsible for thought and behavior.
What is the frontal lobe?
100
These are the cerebellar lobes.
What are the anterior, posterior, and flocculonodular lobes.
100
The internal carotid and vertebral arteries communicate through this structure in order to supply the brain with the amount of blood it needs.
What is the circle of Willis?
200
This carries impulses away from the cell, whereas this carries impulses to the cell.
What is the axon, and the dendrite?
200
These lie directly beneath the skull and have 3 protective coverings.
What are meninges?
200
This lobe controls memory, the senses, language and emotions.
What is the temporal lobe?
200
These lobes help control movement, and coordination. Whereas this lobe helps control equilibrium.
What are the anterior and postern lobes, and the flocculonodular lobe?
200
The ANS (autonomic nervous system) can be further subdivided into these 2 groups.
What is the sympathetic and parasympathetic components?
300
This acts as the sending and receiving area for nerve impulses an is the energy center for the cell.
What is the soma?
300
This is the outermost layer, it is composed of very dense fibrous tissue.
What is the dura mater?
300
This lobe primarily controls language.
What is the parietal lobe?
300
These 3 sections compose the brainstem.
What are the medulla oblongata, the midbrain and the pons?
300
This is the component responsible for "fight of flight" whereas this one is responsible for "rest and digest".
What is the sympathetic, and parasympathetic?
400
This is the most common type of neuroglia, and it fills the spaces between the neurons.
What are astrocytes?
400
This is the middle layer, it is composed of a very delicate serous membrane. And beneath it is a space that is filled with CSF.
What is the arachnoid mater, and subarachnoid space?
400
This lobe controls vision.
What is the occipital lobe
400
This is responsible for vital functions such as heart rate, respiration, and control over the circulatory system.
What is the medulla.
400
This system connects the CNS to the skin and skeletal muscles via the cranial and spinal nerves.
What is the Somatic nervous system?
500
These are found in the peripheral nervous system. There main functions are the production of myelin and the removal of cellular debris.
What are Scwann cells?
500
This is the layer closest to the brain.
What is the pia mater?
500
These are the bulges that occur throughout the cerebrum, they have these shallow indentations that are known as this. BONUS: The larger deeper furrows in this area are known as this.
What gyri, and sulci BONUS: fissures.
500
These are the major structures of the midbrain.
What is the hypothalamus, thalamus, posterior pituitary gland, and pineal gland?
500
These nerves are composed of small bundles of nerves fibers by this name, which are surrounded by a sheath called by this name.
What are the peripheral nerves, fascicles, and endoneurium?
