Function of the Temporal Lobe - ANSWER-Wernicke's are is here in which responsible
for hearing and speech processing/ speech and memory and recognition of auditory
stimuli
what are the two notable dural folds? - ANSWER-the FALX and TENTORIUM
Falx - ANSWER-separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain
tentorium - ANSWER-separates cerebrum from cerebellum
Where do most subarachnoid hemorrhage form? - ANSWER-in the subarachnoid space
since this is where most cerebral blood vessels lie and aneurysms commonly form on
the vessels
,What does the central sulcus separate? - ANSWER-the frontal and parietal lobes
What does the lateral sulcus/ fissure separate? - ANSWER-the frontal and temporal
lobes
What is the diencephalon composed of? - ANSWER-Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Pituitary
Gland
What is the function of the thalamus? - ANSWER-"ROUTER"
serves as the relay station between the cerebral cortex and the brainstem
relays auditory, somatosensory. visual, and gustatory signals
influences arousal and consciousness
Function of the cerebellum - ANSWER-Balance and coordination
Coordination of voluntary movements; equilibrium and muscle tone
Central Sulcus - ANSWER-separates the frontal and parietal lobes
Lateral Sulcus - ANSWER-also known as Sylvian Fissure; separates the frontal and
temporal lobes
What is the brainstem composed of? - ANSWER-Midbrain, Medulla Oblongata, and
Pons
Function of the Midbrain - ANSWER-Processes sight, sound, and reflex
Maintains consciousness
Maintains respiratory and cardiovascular homeostasis
Function of the Pons - ANSWER-Connects cerebellum to the cerebrum
Controls regulating breathing
Controls involuntary swallowing processes
Functions of the Medulla Oblongata - ANSWER-regulates autonomic functions like RR,
HR, and digestive processes like vomiting, sneezing, swallowing, coughing, and
balance
Pneumonic For Cranial Nerves - ANSWER-OLD OPERATORS OCCASIONALLY
TROUBLESHOOT TRICKY ABDUCTED FAMILY VETERANS GALLOPING
VALIANTLY ACROSS HISTORY
Pneumonic for cranial nerves if it's sensory or motor - ANSWER-SOME SAY MARRY
MONEY BUT MY BROTHER SAYS BIG BRAINS MATTER MORE
Where is the sensory cortex located? - ANSWER-parietal lobe; in the postcentral gyrus
, where is the motor cortex located - ANSWER-in the precentral gyrus; anterior to the
central sulcus which separates the frontal and parietal lobe
What is the two halves of the brain separated by? - ANSWER-Medial longitudinal
fissure
Function of the Corpus Callosum - ANSWER-connects the right and left hemisphere
together and facilitates communication
Function of the Left Cerebral Cortex - ANSWER-controls the right side of the body and
speech center
Function of the Right Cerebral Cortex - ANSWER-controls the left side of the body and
"spatial" relationship
What are the three protective membranes? (innermost to outer) - ANSWER-
REMEMBER PAD
PIA, ARACHNOID, AND DURA MATER
Pia Mater - ANSWER-Innermost layer of the meninges
Fits the brain like a glove
Covers the surface of the brain
Arachnoid Mater - ANSWER-middle layer of meninges; cerebrospinal fluid and blood
vessels found here;
"spiderweb-like mother"
Dura Mater - ANSWER-thick, outermost layer of the meninges surrounding and
protecting the brain and spinal cord
composed of thick, fibrous connective tissue
What is the function of the hypothalamus? - ANSWER-"HOMEOSTASIS"
connection between the cortex and the pituitary gland
controls the release of the right major hormones of the pituitary
controls body temperature, blood pressure, hunger and thirst, sexual behavior, and
circadian rhythms
What is the function of the pituitary gland? - ANSWER-Anterior portion releases
hormones that influence BP, metabolism, glucogenesis, lactation, ovulation, growth, and
immune response
Posterior portion releases hormones that influence labor, birth, lactation and blood
pressure
What is the function of the basal ganglia? - ANSWER-Motor Control
