Embryonic Development | Cerebrum | Spinal Cord | Circulation & CNS | PNS |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is 3 regions
The primary vesicle stage has this many regions:
|
What is the occipital lobe
The lobe of the cerebrum that controls vision:
|
What is ascending tracts
This part of the spinal cord carries sensory information from the receptor to the brain:
|
What is the basilar artery
This artery is what vertebral arteries join to form:
|
What is Dorsal Root Ganglia
A soma of sensory neurons entering the spinal cord is called:
|
What is 16 days
The ectoderm develops this many days after fertilization:
|
What is the longitudinal fissure
The groove that separates the cerebral hemispheres:
|
What is conducting nerve impulses and serving as the center of spinal reflexes
The function of the spinal cord:
|
What is the Circle of Willis
This term defines "a circle of communicating arteries"
|
What is 31 pairs
This many pairs of spinal nerves branch off of the CNS to connect to other body parts:
|
What is spina bifida
This term describes when the neural tube does not completely close, but the rest of development continues:
|
What is the corpus callosum
This structure is the major pathway of communication between the two hemispheres of the brain:
|
What is the dorsal root
This part of the spinal cord is where sensory axons enter:
|
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
This fluid flows through the central canal and subarachnoid space:
|
What is the outermost layer of connective tissue surrounding a peripheral nerve
The Epineurium is defined as:
|
What is the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
During embryonic development, this part of the nervous system is what the neural crest develops into:
|
What is the precentral gyrus in the last fold of frontal lobe
The location of the primary motor cortex:
|
What is motor signaling
The function of the anterior gray horn:
|
What is the jugular vein
The vein where cerebrospinal fluid drains into:
|
What is a Plexus
This structure is formed by ventral rami of nerves in a particular region of the spinal cord:
|
What is the pons and cerebellum
After the secondary vesicle stage, the metencephalon develops into:
|
What is the parietal lobe
This lobe of the cerebrum controls language, general sensory perception, and all tactile senses:
|
What is lateral columns
The part of the spinal cord that consists of axons of ascending and descending tracts:
|
What is the ependymal cells at choroid plexus
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced here:
|
What is the trochlear nerve
This nerve has a peripheral connection to the superior oblique muscle:
