damage to the spinal nerve causes
weakness of sternocleidomastoid muscle
what region is between the cerebrum and brain stem
diencephalon
"wandering" nerve; innervate structures throughout the thorax and abdomen
X. Vagus
Divisions of the cerebral hemispheres that are named after the overlying skull bones are
lobes
difficult in swallowing results in what cranial nerve
IX. glossalpharyngeal and X. Vagus
what does the cerebellum do
Controls balance, equilibrium, and muscle coordination.
what is the floor of the diencephalon
hypothalamus
, after having a heart attack, a patient notices pain in the left arm. this kind of pain is
referred pain
What is multiple sclerosis?
loss of myelin sheath
what is responsible for motor control in the midbrain
red nucleui of the tegmentum
tegmentum location
ventral region of midbrain
tegmentum function
control of motor function; regulation of awareness and attention; regulation of some autonomic
functions
tegmentum includes
reticular formation, periaqueductal gray matter, red nucleus, substantia nigra
inferior and superior colliculi control
reflex of vision and hearing
Parkinson's disease
destroyed brain cells that cause a lack of dopamine, hence lack of muscle control; affects
substantia nigra
what does dopamine do
responsible for relaying messages that plan and control body movement
what part of the brain associates emotions with memories
limbic system
what part of the brain associates emotions with actions
prefrontal cortex
what does the postcentral gyrus contain
primary sensory cortex
what does the postcentral gyrus contain
