CNS [ Ans: ] Brain and spinal cord
PNS [ Ans: ] Cranial and spinal nerves, sensory neurons, neuromuscular
junctions
Brain [ Ans: ] control center of body, receives, processes, evaluates info &
initiates response
Meninges [ Ans: ] 3 connective tissue layers covering brain and spinal
cord

Dura matter [ Ans: ] Is the outermost tough double layered membrane of
the meninges
Pia matter [ Ans: ] Is a very thin membrane that adheres closely to the
brain and spinal cord (part of meninges)
Cerebrospinal fluid [ Ans: ] Shock absorbing fluid, provides cushion for
brain and spinal cord, formed in choroid plexus
Arachnoid [ Ans: ] 2nd of meninges, weblike thin delicate membrane
Subarachnoid space [ Ans: ] Contain CSF
Arachnoid villi [ Ans: ] are projections of arachnoid into dural sinuses
where csf can be absorbed into venous blood
Blood brain barrier [ Ans: ] is a barrier that limits passage of damaging
materials into brain but allows lipid substances to pass, controls balance
of electrolytes, is poorly developed in neonates
, 2
Blood CSF barrier [ Ans: ] Located at choroid plexus, controls
constituents of CSF
Cerebral hemispheres [ Ans: ] Largest area of brain, longitudinal fissure
separates two hemispheres, covered by elevations called gyri separated
by grooves called sulci
Subdural space [ Ans: ] lies beneath the dura and is a potential space
Choroid Plexus [ Ans: ] areas of highly vascularized tissue located in each
of 4 ventricles of brain
Cortex [ Ans: ] gray matter (nerve cell bodies) on the surface of the brain
Corpus Callosum [ Ans: ] white matter (myelinated nerve bundles, tract)
that connects the hemispheres
5 major hemisphere of brain [ Ans: ] prefrontal, frontal, parietal,
temporal, occipital lobes

Frontal lobe [ Ans: ] associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech,
movement, emotions, and problem solving, personality, creativity
Parietal lobe [ Ans: ] is responsible for integrating info about touch and
visual, auditory and taste sensations
Occipital lobe [ Ans: ] contains visual centers; primary visual area
receives vision info, visual association area integrates info
Temporal lobe [ Ans: ] primary auditory area receives info, auditory
association area integrates info, smell, memory
Broca's area [ Ans: ] directs formation of words, located at the base of left
frontal lobe
Wernicke's area [ Ans: ] integration center that comprehends language,
located in temporal lobe
