|
What is the inferior colliculus?
It's part of the corpora quadrigemina is responsible for head movement with auditory stimulus.
|
What is the posterior gray horn?
It is responsible for sensory processing in the spinal cord
|
What is Hydrocephalus?
The condition when too much Cerebrospinal fluid accumulates and causes a blockage

What are the four major nerve plexus?
Cervical, Brachial, Lumbar, and Sacral.
|
What is The Central Sulcus
The creases between the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain.
|
What is the midbrain?
It is the main section of the brain responsible for motor movement.
|
What is the lateral gray horn?
It's responsible for the sympathetic division ANS.
|
What is Pia mater?
It is the innermost layer of meninges, extremely thin on surface of the brain.
|
What is a plexus?
It is what is formed by ventral rami of nerves in particular region of spinal cord.
