General Brain Structure of the Brain Diencephalon Function of the Brain Cranial Nerves
100
What is white matter?
Made up of myelinated axons, this structure is deep to gray matter.
100
What is the brain stem?
The midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
100
What is the Epithalamus, Thalamus, and Hypothalamus?
These 3 structures make up the diencephalon.
100
What is the parietal lobe?
Lobe majoring in sensory functions.
100
What is 12?
Number of Cranial Nerves.
200
What is cell bodies?
Gray matter, ganglia and nuclei
200
What is layers of the meninges?
The dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
200
What is the thalamus?
Also known as the relay station or switchboard operator.
200
What is the association cortex?
The cortex that understands and process information.
200
What is hypoglossal?
Cranial Nerve XII
300
What is Corpus Callosum?
In charge of communicating between hemispheres.
300
What is the lateral sulcus?
This structure separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes.
300
What is the epithalamus?
Location of the pineal gland.
300
What is Wernicke’s Area?
Located in the temporal region, in charge of understanding speech and storing language.
300
What is Oculomotor (CN III)?
Pupillary constriction and dialation.
400
What is axons?
Tract, Nerves, white matter, fusciculus, pathways and peduncles.
400
What is ependymal cell?
This cell type helps create CSF in the choroid plexus.
400
What is the hypothalamus?
A part of the ANS, this structure controls everything.
400
What is the frontal lobe?
The motor speech area, also called Broca’s, is located where?
400
What is occulomotor, trochlear, and abducens?
These 3 Cranial Nerves work together to move the eye.
500
What is the cortex?
Meaning “bark of tree” this structure is superficial.
500
What is the Basomedial Frontal Lobe?
Houses the primary olfactory cortex also known as the simpelest sense.
500
What is the pituitary gland?
Also known as the master gland, this gland is located in the hypothalamus and connected by infundibulum.
500
What is the cerebral aqueduct?
Allows for CSF to travel from 3rd ventricle to 4th ventricle.
500
What is Trigeminal?
V1, V2, V3, also known as frontal, maxillary, and mandibular.
