◍ three basic anatomic parts of the brain.
Answer: brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum
◍ pons.
Answer: regulate sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing,
equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation,
posture
◍ medulla oblongata (Myelencephalon).
Answer: regulates autonomic, involuntary functions through vasomotor
centersie. breathing, HR, BP
◍ Midbrain (mesencephalon).
Answer: impacts motor control, sleep/wake cycles, alertness, vision,
hearing, temperature regulation
◍ brainstem.
Answer: controls innate and automatic self preserving behavior patterns
AKA primal brain, reptilian brain, trunk of the brainConsists of pons,
medulla, and midbrain
◍ fissures and sulci.
Answer: increase surface area of the brain
◍ sulci.
Answer: small grooves
◍ fissures.
Answer: large grooves
, ◍ gyri.
Answer: ridges or bulges between the grooves
◍ cerebellum.
Answer: Control and coordinationbalance and equilibriumcognitionemotion
and perceptual functionsfine motor coordinationimpulse
controllanguagememory motor learningpostureMOTOR systemno motor
commands initiated in cerebellum, but commands are modified and adapted
obtains info from the balance systems (Inner ear, sensory nerves, auditory
and visual systems)
◍ Cerebrum.
Answer: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes
◍ grey matter.
Answer: high concentration of neuronal cell bodies that contain
genesresponsibile for metabolism and synthesizing proteins thought
processes
◍ white matter.
Answer: myelin - protects neurons
◍ loss of either grey or white matter.
Answer: deficits in language, memory, reasoning, etc
◍ Temporal lobe.
Answer: process auditory input into emotional context comprehension of
meaningful sounds and languagememory
◍ Parietal lobe.
Answer: sensory info processedintegrates touch, taste, pain, pressure,
temperature, spatial awareness, language processing
◍ occipital lobe.
Answer: visual processingcomprehending visual inforeceives/interprets info
from retinas
