Medulla
|
Continuous with the Spinal Cord.
respiration, heart rate, cough, sneeze, vomit, relays neural information |
|
Reticular Formation
|
Region of the Brain Stem extending from the Medulla to the Thalamus.
Arousal! |
|
Pons
|
Part of the HINDBRAIN. Connects the MIDBRAIN to the CEREBELLUM.
relays sensory info to cerebellum and thalamus; BRIDGE for cranial/spinal information. |
|
Cerebellum
|
"Little Brain"
Structure located at the back of the brain, dorsal to the Pons. Involved in central regulation of Movement. develops, coordinates complex movement; intended vs actual positions; integrates some sensory and motor functions and cognition |
|
Raphe Nuclei
|
involved in the sleep-wake cycle; damage produces insomnia
|
|
Tectum
|
DORSAL part of the MIDBRAIN.
Combination of the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and INFERIOR COLLICULI which are involved in visual info and eye orientation and also auditory info. |
|
Tegmentum
|
two important motor centers (Substantia Nigra, Red Nucleus)
|
|
Epithalamus
|
contains Habenula, Pineal Gland
|
|
Thalamus
|
Located Anterior to the Hypothalamus in the DIENCEPHELON.
"Way Station" to the Cerebral Cortex. Relays information from sensory receptors. |
|
Hypothalamus
|
detects need states; controls pituitary production and release
|
|
Pituitary Gland
|
Anterior: GH, TSH, ACTH, GONADATROPIN
Posterior: OXYTOCIN, ADH |
|
Tegmentum
|
two important motor centers (Substantia Nigra, Red Nucleus)
|
|
Epithalamus
|
contains Habenula, Pineal Gland
|
|
Thalamus
|
relays info from sensory receptors to the cerebral cortex by way of Medial, Lateral and Ventrolateral Geniculate Nuclei
|
|
Hypothalamus
|
Located UNDER the Thalamus in the UPPERMOST portion of the DIENCEPHALON.
detects need states (HUNGER, THIRST, SEX); controls pituitary production and release |
|
Pituitary Gland
|
Anterior: GH, TSH, ACTH, GONADATROPIN
Posterior: OXYTOCIN, ADH |
|
Limbic System
|
Involved in Emotion and Learning by way of...Amygdala, Cingulate Gyrus, Hippocampus/Fornix, Olfactory Bulb and Mammilary Bodies
|
|
Basal Ganglia
|
Located in the FOREBRAIN
Motor Control by way of Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, Globus Pallidus and Substantia Nigra |
|
Amygdala
|
Anger and Fear
|
|
Cingulate Gyrus
|
Part of the LIMBIC SYSTEM in the FOREBRAIN.
Thought to be involved in DIRECTION OF ATTENTION. |
|
Hippocampus/Fornix
|
Memory and Learning
|
|
Mammilary Bodies
|
Connects the Fornix to the Hippocampus
|
|
Occipital Lobe
|
Primary Visual from Thalamus
|
|
Parietal Lobe
|
Somatosensory Cortex: touch, pain, pressure, temperature, body position info from Thalamus
|
|
Temporal Lobe
|
Primary Auditory from Thalamus
|
|
Frontal Lobe
|
Helps develop plans of action and organizes the activities of other high-level processing systems. Also sequences voluntary movements. Contains the PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX.
|
|
Dura Mater
|
thick, outermost layer
|
|
Arachnoid Mater
|
Weblike sheet, middle layer
|
|
Pia Mater
|
Thin, chemical membrane adherent to brain's surface; innermost layer.
