peduncles

Huge tracts that connect pons to cerebellum are Cerebellar _______

cerebral peduncles

Motor tracts on their way down from cerebrum, first time you see them are in cerebrum

Epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus

Parts of the Diencephalon

Secondary respiration center, sensory tracts, motor tracts, cerebellar peduncles

Pons are made of

gyrus

bulge b/w sulcus

descending toward spinal cord

in pons all motor tracts are

emotional and breathing

in the limbic system the brain stem

frontal cortex

in the limbic system the cerebrum

thalamus and hypothalamus

in the limbic system the diencephalon

Cerebral peduncles, corpora Quadrigemina

midbrain consist of

Medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain

parts of the brain stem

cardiac, primary respiratory, vasomotor, swallowing, coughing, sneezing, vomiting center

parts/ center of medulla oblongata

varoli

pons are also called

Apneustic center, Pneumotaxic center

what are the two parts of the secondary respiratory center that regulates breathing the way you want to

reproduction, growth, development, water salt balance, metabolism

what happens in the hypothalamus when the nervous system/endocrine system link

Melatunium

what hormone does the pineal gland produce

cerebral cortex

what is the outer layer of cerebrum2-3mm sulcus and gyrus

Central sulcus

what separates frontal lobe from parietal lobe

longitudinal fissure

what separates the cerebrum

basal nucleus

what are the synapses of the cerebrum motor receptors called

projection, commissural, association tracts

what are the three tract in the brain

Epithalamus

(Above) contains pineal Glands

Superior Colliculi

(Above) controls or involve in visual reflexes, skeletal muscle, signal starts here to move eyes *Somatic movement

Inferior Colliculi

(Below) controls Auditory reflexes

Cardiac center

Control center that regulated hart, parasympathic, synapses "Nucleus"

cerebrum

2 hemispheres, contains sulcus and gyrus

Ascending tracts, column white matter

All Sensory tracts located below leading for cerebrum are __________ and are located ________

Descending tracts, column white matter

All motor tracts from above leading to spinal cord are _______ and located _________

reticular formation

Consciousness, focus of attention, sensor filter

ascending toward cerebrum

In pons all sensory tracts are

olfaction pathway

Mammillary bodies are responsible for

Sneezing center

Regulates sneezing

Thalamus

Sensory relay station for synapses on the way up to cerebrum

smell senses

all senses synapses in thalamus except

corpus callosum

connecting tracts of cerebrum

Corpora Quadrigemina

consist of Superior and Inferior Colliculi

Limbic system

controls emotional response

sulcus

cracks b/w gyrus

Taxia

damage to cerebellum disease lack of motor skills/coordination

4 information sources that the cerebellum

descending motor signal, ascending sensory signal from muscles, balance signals from inner ear, visual signal from eye are

hypothalamus autonomic systems controls

detect oxygen, temperature and hunger feeling full, mammillary bodies

Brainstem, diencephalon, cerebellum, cerebrum

four region of the brain from bottom to top

parts of cerebellum

inner tissue called Arbor vitae, coordinates motor actives and balance, utilizes information fro four sources

Parts of Hypothalamus

link between nervous system and endocrine system, location for autonomic system control

somatic movements of the superior Colliculi

make eyes move/optimizes eye, focus, change lens shape and pupil shape

Pineal glands

produce hormone called Melatunium

Vasomotor center

regulated blood pressure

Swallowing center

regulated swallowing

Secondary respiratory center

regulates breathing the way you want to

Coughing center

regulates cough

Primary respiratory center

regulates normal breathing

Vomiting center

regulates vomiting

frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal and insula/center lobes

what are cerebral the lobes

brainstem, diencephalon, cerebrum

the limbic system over lapse

cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem

the reticular formation over lapse ( top )

Association tracts

tracts in the brain that are different lobes of cerebrum to same side

Commissural tracts

tracts in the brain that are right to left ex. corpus callosum

Projection tracts

tracts in the brain that connects higher to lower ex. cerebrum to any part below thalamus
