Biologic Basis For Disease In Adults And Children 9th Edition
By Julia L. Rogers
Central Nervous System (CNS) - ANSWER brain and
spinal cord in vertebrates
peripheral nervous system - ANSWER ganglia and
peripheral nerves in vertebrates
Cerebrum - ANSWER Largest part of the brain. Most
anterior part of the brain located in the front of the skull and
has two hemispheres (left and right)
-controls muscle functions and speech, thought, emotions,
learning
Frontal lobe - ANSWER The hemispheric lobe that lies
anterior to the cen-
tral sulcus and superior to the lateral fissure.
Prefrontal cortex - ANSWER Located in most anterior
part of frontal lobe
-Largest area of the human brain (29% of cerebral cortex)
-Plans behavior and decision making
-Controlling impulses
-Adjusting behavioral responses to reward
,Parietal lobe - ANSWER located in the upper back half
of the brain.
-processes sensory information (touch, taste, temp)
Occipital lobe - ANSWER located at the back of the head
-visual perception (color, form, motion)
Temporal lobe - ANSWER located at the bottom of the
brain in the middle behind the ears and is the second largest
part of the brain
-processing auditory information and encodes memory
Lateral sulcus - ANSWER deep fissure that is on the
interior surface of the brain
-separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal
lobe
Central sulcus - ANSWER deep fissure that is on the
interior surface of the brain
-separates the frontal and parietal lobes from each other
Precentral gyrus - ANSWER anatomical location of the
primary motor cortex
-controls voluntary motor movement
All four ventricles - ANSWER 2 lateral ventricles, third
ventricle, and fourth ventricle
lateral on the top
, third is in the middle
fourth is on the bottom
Aqueduct - ANSWER allows cerebral spinal fluid to flow
between the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle in the
midbrain
Cerebellum - ANSWER portion of the brain in the back
of the head between cerebrum and brain stem
-controls balance for walking and standing and other motor
functions
Pons - ANSWER part of the brain stem that links the
medulla oblongata and the thalamus
Medulla - ANSWER located in the bottom most part of
the brain
-where your brain and spinal cord connect
-controls vital processes such as your heartbeat, breathing, and
blood pressure
Thalamus - ANSWER bodies information relay station
-gray matter located near the center of the brain
-all information from your bodies senses are processed through
your thalamus before being sent to your brains cerebral cortex
-plays a role in sleep wakefulness, learning/memory, and
consciousness
