1. List the struc- - cerebral cortex
tures of the cen- - basal ganglia
tral nervous sys- - thalamus
tem - hypothalamus
- cerebellum
- brain stem: midbrain, pons, medulla
- spinal cord
2. What are the dif- Frontal lobe
ferent lobes of - Broca's Area, responsible for expressive aphasia
the cerebral cor- Temporal lobe
tex? - Wernicke's Area, responsible for receptive aphasia
Parietal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
3. What is the major An ascending tract that sends perceived sensory info to the cerebral cortex.
sensory pathway The Lateral spinothalamic tract perceives pain, temperature, and light (crude)
of the CNS? touch.
The Posterior (dorsal) columns perceive fine touch, proprioception, vibration, and
stereogenosis (assess fine touch and distinguish familiar objects without looking
at it)

4. What is the ma- A descending tract that send motor info from the brain to the limbs.
jor motor path- The Corticospinal (pyramidal) tract involves skilled, purposeful voluntary move-
way of the CNS? ment.
Extrapyramidal tract performs gross body movements and muscle tone.
The Cerebellar system coordinates movement, maintains equilibrium, and posture.
5. What's the differ- Upper motor neurons are located in the CNS and influences lower motor neurons.
ence and similari- Injury to this location can be caused by a stroke.
ty between upper Lower motor neurons are located in the PNS and for found in the final pathway of
and lower motor motor stimulation. Injury to this location can be cause my a spinal cord lesion, i.e.
neurons? being stabbed in the back.
Both neurons are descending neurons, meaning they originate from the brain and
send info down the spinal cord.
6. What are the 12 Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet, A H!
Cranial Nerves? Olfactory (CNI)
What neuron Optic (CNII)
type is each Cra- Oculomotor (CNIII)
nial Nerve? Trochlear (CNIV)
Trigeminal (CNV)
Abducens (CNVI)
Facial (CNVII)
