26 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Trochlear | -motor -supplies the eye with vision -"I can see clearly now with my _______nerve" |
| Facial | -sensory and motor -secretion of tears and saliva -"Ooooo my _______ makes me drool" |
| Glossopharyngeal | -Sensory and motor -Swallowing and sense of taste -"_______ pertains to the tongue, pharynx pertains to the pharynx, so when you eat you don't need to fear what's next" |
| Oculomotor | -Motor -Eye movement and pupil constriction -"Without nerve number three it would be really hard to see" |
| Abducens | -Motor -moves the eye -"SATE- Sixth Abducts the Eyes" |
| Trigeminal | -Sensory and Motor -Controls the sensations of the face & biting, chewing and swallowing "The Rich Irish General E-mailed Ms Isabella News About London" |
| Optic | -Sensory -allows people to see "Two syllables in _____ so it is the second nerve" |
| Vesticulocochlear | -Sensory -Functions: hearing and balance -"___________, so you can hear someone "coch" their gun in your ear" |
| Vagus | -Sensory and motor -Monitors and regulates heartbeat -"The longest cranial nerve is on a mission to preserve organ conditions |
| Accessory Nerve | -Motor -Controls sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles -"_______ _________ are the movers of your noggin" |
| Olfactory Bulb | -Sensory -Perception of odors -"I love the smell of _______ _____ in the morning" |
| Hypoglossal | -Motor -Help move to tongue -"Swallow your gloss with the _______________" |
| Frontal lobe | Voluntary motor function, motivation, sense of smell, mood |
| Parietal lobe | reception and evaluation of sensory information except smell, hearing and vision |
| Occipital lobe | reception and integration of visual input |
| Temporal lobe | reception and evaluation for smell and hearing; memory abstract thought, judgment |
| Medulla Oblongata | regulates heart rate, blood vessel diameter, respiration, swallowing, vomiting, hiccuping, coughing and sneezing |
| Cerebral Medulla | connects one hemisphere to the other |
| Prefrontal cortex | Predicts consequences of events or actions, generates feelings of frustration, tension and anxiety as it interprets ongoing events |
| Broca's Area | Speech center, regulates patterns of breathing and vocalization |
| Wernicke Area | Receives information from all sensory association areas, lies in one hemisphere (left), coordinates access to complex visual and auditory memories |
| Cerebellum | Attached to brainstem posterior to pons, balance and eye movement, posture, locomotion, fine motor coordination, works with cerebrum to plan, practice and learn complex movements |
| Diencephalon | located between the brainstem and the cerebrum, thalamus, subthalamus, epithalamus and hypothalamus |
| Midbrain | Visual reflexes, eye movements, controls sleep-wake cycles, maintenance of muscle tone and posture |
| Pons | -Superior to medulla oblongata, sleep center |
| Limbic System | part of cerebrum and diencephalons, includes the hippocampus, establishes emotional states and behavioral drives, long term memory storage and retrieval, makes you "want" to perform complex tasks. |
