- cerebral peduncles - superior/inferior colliculi

cerebellum

cerebrum

- comprises 85% of brain - responsible for human's conscious thought processes and complex intellectual functions - intelligence and reasoning - thought, memory, judgement - voluntary motor, visual, auditory

hypothalamus

functional areas of cerebrum

- motor - sensory - association

white matter

epithalamus

- pineal gland - endocrine gland secretes melatonin - regulates circadian rhythm

association area parts

- premotor cortex - somatosensory association area - visual association area - auditory association area * no separate association areas for olfactory and gustatory

motor area parts

- primary motor cortex - frontal eye field - motor speech area (broca area)

sensory area parts

- primary somatosensory cortex - primary visual cortex - primary auditory cortex - primary olfactory cortex - primary gustatory cortex

choroid plexus

- produces CSF - ependymal cells and capillaries - in each ventricle - drains into arachnoid villi and into dural venous sinous

initial development of brain and spinal cord

- prosencephalon - mesencephalon - rhombencephalon

thalamus

- receives conscious senses (except olfaction) - filters and relays to primary cortices and association areas

medulla oblongota important autonomic centers

- regulate heart rate and strength - controls blood pressure (arteriole control) - respiratory rate (along with pons) - centers controlling coughing, sneezing, salivating, swallowing, gagging, vomiting, and hiccupping

forms of brain protection

- skull (bones) - meninges - cerebrospinal fluid - blood brain barrier

parts in midbrain only seen in cross sections

- substantia nigra - dopamine - motor control, emotion, pleasure, pain, compulsion - degeneration = parkinson's

midbrain

- superior portion of brainstem - sensory and motor tracts connecting brain to spinal cord - autonomic functions

prosencephalon develops into

- telencephalon - diencephalon

cranial nerve V

- trigeminal - sensory function: general sensory from surface of head and mouth, including touch from anterior 2/3 of tongue - somatic motor function: muscles of mastication and others

cranial nerve IV

- trochlear - sensory function: none - somatic motor function: 1 extrinsic eye muscle

cranial nerve X

- vagus - sensory function: visceral sensory most organs - somatic motor function: most pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles

cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) location and function

- ventricles and subarachnoid space - cushioning - buoyancy - transport of nutrients and waste

arachnoid mater

- web of collagen and elastic fibers (trabeculae) - subarachnoid space (cerebral spinal fluid) - middle layer
