The Brain
1. List the four parts of the human brain.
2. Describe the number, location and function of the brain ventricles.
3. Label the ventricles.
4. Describe the brain meninges and the layers.
5. What is the function of the choroid plexus?
6. What is the blood-brain barrier and how is it maintained?
7. Describe the cerebrum.
8. What is the median longitudinal fissure?
9. Raised ridges on the cerebrum are called .
10. The separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum.
Your Answer:
1. Cerebrum, brainstem, diencephalon, cerebellum
2. 4 ventricles: two lateral, third and fourth ventricle. two ventricles
above the third ventricle, with the fourth ventricle draining into the
spinal cord.
3.
4. three separate connective tissue membranes covering and protecting
central nervous system organs and enclose CP fluid.
5. choroid plexus is a network of blood vessels within the
ventricles.allows blood plasma to travel into ventricles and form CSF.
6. diffusion barrier between the brain and circulatory system preventing
most materials from passing into the brain. this helps maintain a stable
environment.
7. foremost portion of the brain, about 83% mass and is split into right
and left hemispheres.
8. this is the area of the brain that separates the right and left
hemispheres of the brain.
9. gyri
10. transverse fissure

1. The human brain is made up of the cerebral hemispheres,
diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum.
2. There are four ventricles in the interior of the brain, chambers
filled with cerebrospinal fluid which is produced there.
3. See figure in module.
4. The meninges are three layers of connective tissue
membranes that cover and protect central nervous system
organs and enclose cerebrospinal fluid. The leathery dura
mater is the double-layered outer meninx. The middle
arachnoid meninx is a loose layer separated from the dura
mater by the subdural space. Beneath the arachnoid meninx
is the subarachnoid space which contains blood vessels and is
filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The inner pia mater meninx is a
thin connective tissue tightly attached to the brain.
5. The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid.
6. The blood-brain barrier is a diffusion barrier which prevents
most particles from entering the central nervous system
tissue, keeping the brain and spinal cord separate from
general blood circulation. The blood-brain barrier is formed by
the relatively impermeable brain capillaries, due to the glial
cells astrocytes. Maintenance of the blood-brain-barrier is
important to provide a stable chemical environment for the
nervous system. A stable internal environment is important to
protect neurons from chemical variations which could cause
uncontrollable firing of neurons.
7. The cerebrum, the foremost part of the brain, is the largest
part of the brain in humans comprising about 83% of total
brain mass
8. It separates the left and right cerebral hemispheres from one
another.
9. Gyri
10. The transverse fissure

The Brain
11. The outer portion of the cerebral hemispheres is called the
and is highly convoluted and gray in color.
12. Describe the functions of the lobes of the cerebrum.
13. What is the difference between a primary area and an association
area in the brain?
14. Label the regions of the cerebral cortex.
15. List the three major parts of the brain stem.
16. How is the medulla oblongata involved with the heart and lungs?

17. How is the pons involved with the eyes and ears?
18. The superior and inferior colliculi are located on the posterior
portion of the .
19. How is the hypothalamus involved with the entire internal
environment of the body and the endocrine system in particular?
20. All except what sensory impulses are channeled through the
thalamus?
Your Answer:
11. cerewbral cortex
12. Frontal lobe: higher functions like reasoning and decision making
Parietal Lobe: receives sensory information from receptors in the mouthy
for taste and other senses.
Occipital lobe: Interprets visual input
Temporal Lobe: smelling and hearing.
13. Primary area recieve and send information for one type of sensory or
motor information. Association areasintegrate more than one type of
information or sensory input for action.
14.
15. Pons, midbrain and medulla oblongata
16. medulla oblongata is involved with parasympathetic survival
mechanisms, such as regulating heartbeat, vasoconstriction, and
subconcious breathing.
17. The pons is whereh bundles of axons travel through from the
cerebellum to the central nervous system.
18. midbrain
19. the hypothalamus is responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of
the body through management of the endocrine system and hormone
regulation of the pituitary gland.
20. sense of smell
11. cerebral cortex
12. The frontal lobe controls higher level executive functions such
as reasoning and decision making. The frontal lobe also controls
motor functions and permits control over voluntary muscle actions.
The parietal lobe receives sensory information from receptors in the
mouth for taste and located in the skin, such as those for touch,
