Neuroanatomy Week 1
1. role of the forebrain: sensory processing
endocrine structures
higher reasoning
2. what does the forebrain contain: cerebral hemispheres (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital)
thalamus structures
3. role of the midbrain: motor movement and audio/visual processing
4. what does the midbrain contain: cerebral aqueduct
5. role of the hindbrain: autonomic function such as breathing and sleep
6. what does the hindbrain contain: brain stem
cerebellum
7. the cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres via the: longitudinal (sagittal) fissure
8. the two hemispheres of the cerebrum are connected by what which relays
1/5
, information: corpus callosum
9. gyri: raised surfaces "bulges"
10. function of the precentral gyrus: primary motor cortex
11. the primary motor cortex is located in the: frontal lobe (precentral gyrus)
12. post central gyrus function: primary somatosensory cortex
13. the primary somatosensory cortex is located in the: parietal lobe
14. fissures and sulcus: indentations
15. longitudinal fissure splits the brain: in hemispheres
16. central sulcus splits the: frontal and parietal lobe
17. transverse fissure splits the: cerebrum and cerebellum
18. Sylvian (lateral) fissure separates the: temporal lobe
