1.
Brain stem location: Inferior to the hypothalamus, merges with spinal cord
2.
Cerebral hemispheres are separated by...: the longitudinal fissure
3.
Cerebral white matter is composed of...: fiber tracts carrying impulses
4.
Choroid plexuses form...: cerebrospinal fluid
5.
Corpus callosum: Large fiber tract connecting the cerebral hemispheres
6.
Functions of cerebral cortex: Speech, memory, logical and emotional response, consciousness, interpretation of sensation, voluntary muscle activity
7.
Largest part of the brain: Cerebral hemispheres
8.
Location of diencephalon: On top of brain stem, enclosed by cerebral hemispheres
9.
Main regions of the brain: Cerebral hemispheres, diencephalon, brain stem structures, cerebellum
10.
Major structures of diencephalon: 1. Thalamus
2. Hypothalamus
3. Epithalamus
11.
Make-up of cerebral hemispheres: Surface( cortex) is gray matter, interior is white matter with islands of gray metter (basal nuclei)
12.
Parkinson's and Huntington's are disorders of...: the basal nuclei
13.
Promary motor area is in...: the frontal lobe
14.
Role of basal nuclei: Regulate voluntary motor activities by modifying instructions sent to skeletal miscles
15.
Role of hypothalamus: Regulates water balance, metabolism, thirst, temperature; also regulates pituitary gland
16.
Role of thalamus: Relay station for sensory impulses passing upward to sensory cortex
17.
Structures of brain stem: Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongataa
18.
Structures of epithalamus: Pineal gland and choroid plexus of third ventricle
19.
Ventricles: the two lower chambers of the heart
