Meninges |- |✔✔💯Three |layers |of |connective |tissue |in |which |the |brain |and |spinal |cord |are |wrapped
Dura |Mater |- |✔✔💯Outermost |layer |of |the |meninges
Arachnoid |Mater |- |✔✔💯Middle |layer |of |the |meninges
Pia |Mater |- |✔✔💯Innermost |layer |of |the |meninges
Which |layer |of |the |meninges |in |immediately |deep |to |the |inner |surface |of |cranial |bone? |- |✔✔💯Dura
|Mater
Lobes |of |the |brain |- |✔✔💯Four |lobes: |Frontal |lobe, |parietal |lobe, |occipital |lobe, |temporal |lobe
Frontal |Lobe |- |✔✔💯The |lobe |at |the |front |of |the |brain |associated |with |movement, |speech, |and
|impulsive |behavior.
Parietal |Lobe |- |✔✔💯A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |whose |functions |include |processing |information
|about |touch.
Temporal |Lobe |- |✔✔💯A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |responsible |for |hearing |and |language.
Occipital |Lobe |- |✔✔💯A |region |of |the |cerebral |cortex |that |processes |visual |information
Corpus |Callosum |- |✔✔💯A |thick |band |of |axons |that |connects |the |two |cerebral |hemispheres |and |acts
|as |a |communication |link |between |them.
, How |does |the |left |and |right |hemispheres |of |the |brain |connect? |- |✔✔💯Corpus |Callosum
Pituitary |Gland |- |✔✔💯The |endocrine |system's |most |influential |gland. |Under |the |influence |of |the
|hypothalamus, |the |pituitary |regulates |growth |and |controls |other |endocrine |glands.
Pons |- |✔✔💯A |brain |structure |that |relays |information |from |the |cerebellum |to |the |rest |of |the |brain
Medulla |Oblongata |- |✔✔💯Part |of |the |brainstem |that |controls |vital |life-sustaining |functions |such |as
|heartbeat, |breathing, |blood |pressure, |and |digestion.
Cerebellum |- |✔✔💯A |large |structure |of |the |hindbrain |that |controls |fine |motor |skills. |(Balance |and
|coordination)
Cerebrum |- |✔✔💯Largest |part |of |the |brain; |responsible |for |voluntary |muscular |activity, |vision,
|speech, |taste, |hearing, |thought, |and |memory.
Brainstem |- |✔✔💯The |oldest |part |and |central |core |of |the |brain, |responsible |for |automatic |survival
|functions.
Hypothalamus |- |✔✔💯Major |control |center |of |the |autonomic |nervous |system |and |endocrine |system
|that |lies |below |the |thalamus. |It |directs |several |maintenance |activities |(eating, |drinking, |body
|temperature)
- |Essential |role |in |homeostatic |regulation |of |all |body |systems.
Infundibulum |- |✔✔💯Connects |hypothalamus |to |pituitary |gland
What |does |the |autonomic |system |control? |- |✔✔💯Smooth |muscle, |skeletal |muscle, |cardiac |muscle,
|endocrine, |and |exocrine
| | | | | | |
